Here’s the thing — some lines are just better than others in Disney World.
We know everyone has different opinions, but we bet people probably enjoy the lines for things like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run or Expedition Everest over Tomorrowland Speedway. Theming, space, and air conditioning definitely play a role, so you want to make sure you’re not spending a ton of time in those hot, boring queues. But, can you avoid these long lines? Let’s take a look at the wait times from this week to find out!
Magic Kingdom
Let’s head to Magic Kingdom! This week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 74 minutes!
After that, we had Peter Pan’s Flight at 62 minutes, Jungle Cruise at 55 minutes, Splash Mountain at 53 minutes, Space Mountain at 46 minutes, Haunted Mansion at 38 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 36 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 35 minutes, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 32 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 31 minutes, and Pirates of the Caribbean at 30 minutes.
Next, we had Tomorrowland Speedway at 24 minutes, “it’s a small world” at 22 minutes, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid at 20 minutes, Magic Carpets of Aladdin at 16 minutes, Mickey’s PhilharMagic at 15 minutes, and Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini at 13 minutes.
Then, we saw Dumbo the Flying Elephant at 12 minutes, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at 12 minutes, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel at 11 minutes, and Mad Tea Party at 9 minutes.
And rides that only had wait times in the single digits were Carousel of Progress at 6 minutes and Liberty Square Riverboat at 4 minutes. Rides with no waits were Country Bear Jamboree, Tom Sawyer Island, Hall of Presidents, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse.
Remember, a lot of things have returned to Magic Kingdom in recent months, like the parade, stage show, and character meet and greets. And, pretty soon you’ll be able to catch 2 fireworks shows in the same night!

EPCOT
Over in EPCOT, the ride with the longest average wait was Frozen Ever After at 61 minutes.
Then, we had Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at 59 minutes, Test Track at 57 minutes, Soarin’ at 39 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 36 minutes, Turtle Talk with Crush at 19 minutes, Spaceship Earth at 14 minutes, Gran Fiesta Tour at 13 minutes, Journey into Imagination at 11 minutes, Living with the Land at 9 minutes, and The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 7 minutes.

Hollywood Studios
Moving on to Hollywood Studios, Rise of the Resistance had the highest average wait time this week at 99 minutes.
After that, we had Slinky Dog Dash at 80 minutes, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith at 69 minutes, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 68 minutes, Toy Story Mania at 63 minutes, Tower of Terror at 57 minutes, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 55 minutes.

We’ve been seeing SUPER high wait times at Tower of Terror for months, but now, they’re going back down! For a while, only one side of the elevators were working, creating longer lines, but now they’re all back in action!

Animal Kingdom
Hopping over to Animal Kingdom, the ride with the longest average wait time this week was Avatar Flight of Passage at 82 minutes.
Then, we had Na’vi River Journey at 57 minutes, Kali River Rapids at 45 minutes, Kilimanjaro Safaris at 40 minutes, Expedition Everest at 31 minutes, and DINOSAUR at 28 minutes.
Following behind was It’s Tough to Be a Bug at 10 minutes, Triceratop Spin at 9 minutes, The Boneyard at 0 minutes, and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail at 0 minutes.
Animal Kingdom is suuuper duper hot in the summer months, so make sure you stay hydrated and wear sunscreen while in the park! If you want to try your best to see a lot of animal activity, try to get there as early in the morning as possible — the animals are more active when it’s cooler out.
