Greetings from Walt Disney World!
With Disney World’s 50th anniversary coming up in less than 2 weeks, we’re very curious about what crowds look like right now! Are people waiting until the celebration starts to visit, or trying to squeeze in a trip beforehand to watch Happily Ever After one last time? One way we look at crowd levels is through wait times, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
