Recommended Posts

Every week, we check the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando! This week, the Magic Kingdom classic saw incremental wait increases, while the rest of Walt Disney World remained relatively staid, with some decreases.

Lightning Lanes in Walt Disney World

Disney World’s longest average wait time was for Flight of Passage, as usual, but the ride saw a rare 9-minute DROP in its average wait time. It will be interesting to see what, if any, effect the new Lighting Lane system will have on wait times next week.

Take a look at this week’s average wait times — going from highest to lowest!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

The Magic Kingdom park saw some interesting increases across the board this week. None were large, many within a minute or two, but overall, they seemed to indicate that the park was a bit busier this past week.  (REMINDER: Tron Lightcycle/Run does not currently use a standby queue; it’s not included here, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure does not have a standby queue yet.)

Wait times were actually slightly down on average across the board this week. (NOTE: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not currently use a standby queue, so it’s not included here.)

Animal Kingdom Wait Times

Animal Kingdom’s Flight of Passage remains the busiest ride at the park (and resort overall), but its wait fell by 9 minutes this week. However, the waits of Kali River Rapids and Na’vi River Journey both went up, seemingly to compensate.
