While it’s the most wonderful time of the year at Disney World right now, it’s also usually one of the busiest.
The festive decor, the delicious seasonal treats, and the exclusive parties — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights — can draw huge crowds to the park. However, when looking at the average wait times we noticed something strange…the wait times are trending DOWN!
That’s right — we’re actually bringing you GOOD news about the wait times at Disney World around this time of year. Take a look at the average wait times at each Disney World attraction from the past week.
Magic Kingdom
Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time of 63 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 79 minutes so the average has decreased a lot.

Average wait times held Enchanted Tales with Belle at 31 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 30 minutes, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 27 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 24 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean at 23 minutes, followed by Astro Orbiter at 21 minutes.
