Wait Times Increase 73% (!!) at One Magic Kingdom Ride!

The holiday season brings many things to Disney World — specialty treats, fun entertainment, exclusive events, and so much more.

Jingle Cruise

One of our favorite things to see in the parks during this time of year is the holiday ride overlays! We just saw a few that are exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but the most popular one is available all day long. Yep, we’re talking about Jingle Cruise, but we’ve got to warn you about something before you hop in line… .

Comparing last week’s average wait times to this week’s average wait times, Jingle Cruise has increased by 73%! Wowza! This week many holiday decorations and treats arrived in the parks so it seems that has put people in the holiday spirit. What better way to celebrate than taking a ride on the hilariously festive Jingle Cruise?!
