February Sees Unusually High Wait Times in Disney World

Can you believe it’s February of 2022 already?! We can’t. It honestly feels like 2019 just happened…but alas, here we are.

We’re nearing the middle of February already!

February usually means low crowds and cool weather in Disney World, but unfortunately, only one of those things has been true this month! Yep, crowds have been uncharacteristically high in Disney World, and we would probably rather have the hot weather right about now. But, we have weirdly seen times when crowds are big but wait times aren’t that bad in the past, so is that what’s been happening lately? Let’s find out!

Magic Kingdom

Let’s head to Magic Kingdom! This week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 86 minutes!
