Headed to EPCOT Soon? This is Why We're Saying BEWARE of Wait Times!

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!

Magic Kingdom

Disney World’s average wait times usually fluctuate higher or lower based on how many people are in the parks, and it’s usually an overall sort of deal. We often see wait times increase overall, or lower overall, but in this case, we were surprised at how up and down they were across the board. One park in particular has really jumped up in crowds, and we’re wondering if you can guess why.

Don’t believe us? Take a look at this week’s average wait times!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

Wait times at Magic Kingdom fluctuated only slightly in comparison to last week, but we did see more rides trend downwards rather than up. We take this to mean that crowds diminished slightly, which is always an improvement in our book since the fewer crowds, the easier it is to move around the park!

(REMINDER: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is currently only available with virtual queue and Lightning Lanes.)

EPCOT Wait Times

The wait times in EPCOT however were a different story! All average wait times increased this week, some by just a minute, while others, like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Frozen Ever After, increased by multiple. This could be because of the popularity of Festival of the Arts, which just had its full official week.

(NOTE: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not currently use a standby queue, so it’s not included here.)
