The queue is not completely enclosed or air conditioned, but there are strategically placed umbrellas to offer some relief from the Florida sun and heat. The entrance is flanked by Tinker Toys, brightly colored alphabet building blocks and an assortment of oversized toys.Ī green Candyland game piece acts as the height measuring stick and even the FastPass+ kiosk is made to look like a giant crayon box.
