It’s spring break season and so much is happening in Disney World!

The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing, the 50th anniversary has officially ended bringing many changes to the parks, and TRON Lightcycle / Run’s opening is just days away! So with all of this excitement and the spring break crowds heading to the parks, what do the wait times look like right now?

Wait times have decreased over the past couple of weeks, however, there are some times when you can definitely benefit from purchasing Genie+.

Genie+ is Disney’s skip-the-line system that allows you to book a time to use the Lightning Lane for an expedited wait time. This can be a huge time-saver in parks like Hollywood Studios where most rides have long wait times throughout the day. The price of Genie+ depends on the day since Disney introduced flexible pricing earlier this year, however, we’ve seen the price fluctuate between $15 and $29 per person per day.

Use this wait time information below to help you decide if you should buy Genie+ and what rides to prioritize with the service.

Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 82 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 88 minutes, so the time has decreased just a bit.

Animal Kingdom

And last but not least, let’s talk about Animal Kingdom! Avatar Flight of Passage still had the longest average wait time this park this week with 88 minutes. This means the time also went down a bit from last week’s 91-minute average.

Following that, Na’vi River Journey at 72 minutes, Kilimanjaro Safaris at 40 minutes, Kali River Rapids at 34 minutes, Expedition Everest at 27 minutes, and DINOSAUR at 20 minutes.

It’s Tough to Be a Bug averaged 10 minutes and Triceratop Spin averaged 8 minutes. Both The Boneyard and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail averaged no wait time.

This Is NOT Something We Expected to See in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Genie+ could come in handy, especially around this time of year Disney World. Seriously, some of these wait times are no joke! It is important to note that this is another expense that can add up really fast depending on how many people are in your group. Reminder — Genie+ has sold out recently and it could sell out on your trip, too! If you don’t want to buy Genie+, we recommend rope dropping (arriving at the park before opening time) and/or staying until the park closes for shorter wait times.
