Hey there listeners, it's summer travel season for so many of us, which probably means lots

of waiting.

It's an unavoidable part of life and painful as it may be.

There are ways to optimize that time so that it's not only less excruciating, but maybe

even fun.

So I want to revisit one of my favorite episodes where you're going to learn why we evolved

to hate waiting.

Plus the so-called King of Cues at Disney's Magic Kingdom shares how the theme park manages

all of those infamously long lines.

Now I don't want to keep you waiting any longer.

Enjoy the episode.

There's a reason they call Disney World the most magical place on earth.

When you enter the park there's gleeful music in the air.

Ice cream bar shaped like Mickey Mouse and your favorite characters come to life.

What you also see though is lots and lots of people waiting, waiting in line.

You can spend hours waiting for a ride that takes less than 10 minutes.

So Disney's goal to make even the waiting feel fun.

How do you make the wait as good or better as the experience?

And if they never mention the line we've done our job.

That's Dan Cockrell.

He worked at Disney for 26 years.

One of his major responsibilities was dealing with those lines.
