Although this is Disney World’s calm before the storm (the storm being spring break crowds), there are plenty of reasons to visit the parks right now!

TRON Lightcycle / Run is now in previews with its first-of-a-kind Disney ride feature, adaptive seating, and on-ride photos. The Festival of the Arts is still happening in EPCOT (even though it’s almost over!). There are plenty of new delicious eats to try all over Disney World. Maybe that’s why we started to see the wait times go UP this week!

After the holidays, the wait times decreased over time and then steadied for a few weeks. Now, we’ve noticed that the wait times are slowly starting to climb back up across the board.

One of our favorite tips for avoiding crowds is to rope drop or stay until park close (or both!). This is when we tend to see the wait times at popular rides go down and that’s when you’ll find the shortest waits! Nobody likes to wait in line, right?

To see which rides you should rope drop or wait until the end of the night to ride, we’ve put together a look at the average wait times in Disney World over the last week. Check it out!

Magic Kingdom

Kicking it off in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time again with 74 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 73 minutes, so the wait times have stayed pretty consistent
