Have you heard the recent news about Disney World?!

During Disney’s D23 Expo, it was revealed that an expansion was being considered for Magic Kingdom, and that DinoLand U.S.A. could be replaced. None of it’s official yet, but the ideas are pretty interesting. Would these new areas make the parks way more crowded? Would lines get longer? We can’t know until it possibly happens, but we CAN plan for the wait times we have right now. So, let’s take a look at all of the average wait times from around Disney World this week!
