We’ve been talking about it for weeks, but the week before Christmas has arrived…and boy is it busy!

Park passes have been selling out for all ticket types, several Annual Passholders are now blocked out, the multi-park and Magic Kingdom Genie+ options sold out, and (we’re not gonna sugar-coat it) the parks have felt CROWDED. That’s why we’re always warning you about this time of year in the parks — although it’s a fun place to spend the holidays, you have to prepare for these kinds of things! But just how bad were the wait times during this hectic week? Let’s find out!

Below, we’re going to show you the average wait times from every attraction in Disney World over the past week.
