Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando! Last week saw an interesting pattern develop, and we need to talk about it.
Hollywood Studios
Disney World had a bit of a bizzare week, as far as wait times go. Most were generally up at the resort, especially at EPCOT, but the Magic Kingdom saw some bizarre fluctuations. Is this an effect of the new Lighting Lane Multi Pass system? Possibly.
Take a look at this week’s average wait times — going from highest to lowest!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
The Magic Kingdom park had a strange week overall as far as wait times go, perhaps best exemplified by the fact that the wait for Dumbo nearly doubled, while that for the Enchanted Tiki Room was cut nearly in half.
(REMINDER: Tron Lightcycle / Run does not currently use a standby queue; it’s not included here, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure does not have a standby queue yet.)
