food IS a theme park
Since the parks reopened, the lower capacity for Disney World has also brought shorter than normal wait times.
Statue of Miss Piggy
While Disney’s Hollywood Studios has seen slightly longer wait times than some of the other parks, there was one surprising attraction at the park today with a higher than average line!
If you’re headed to Walt Disney World soon, you may be wondering how long you’ll have to wait in line to ride some of your favorite attractions now that there is limited capacity in the parks and Park Pass reservations are required in order to enter.
Walt Disney World Resort Entrance
We took a look at the wait times this week, and we’ve got a list of the 7 attractions with the shortest wait times from this week! Read through and let us know — how many did you guess??
Since Disney World’s reopening, Labor Day is the first holiday being celebrated in the parks (even though Halloween entertainment, treats, and more have started to pop up!).
Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Labor Day
Disney Park Pass availability for Labor Day Weekend kept seeing some changes with Saturday and Sunday of this weekend being listed as sold out across the board for ALL guests (note right now VERY limited Passes look like they’re available!). We HAD to take a look at what the first holiday weekend was like back in Disney World!
With limited capacity and no FastPass+ being two major changes in a reopened Disney World, many have wondered exactly what the impact has been on the average wait time for the many rides and attractions at the four theme parks.
Crowds at Magic Kingdom
After visiting the parks nearly every day since the phased reopening began and checking out the various wait times for ourselves, we wanted to share some insight on what expected wait times have been versus what the reality ACTUALLY was!
Upon reopening, all of the Disney World parks are operating at reduced capacity, and guests are required to secure a Disney Park Pass reservation to enter.
Walt Disney World
For the most part, we’ve encountered manageable crowds and wait times at the parks, although Disney’s Hollywood Studios has regularly felt more crowded. But, spoiler alert, that’s NOT the park that stresses us out the most during the weekend.
Ah Tomorrowland, how we love your spacey and futuristic attractions!
Tomorrowland
Earlier today, we posted that an iconic Tomorrowland Attraction had had an inexplicable and lengthy downtime for the past two days. Now, that downtime is over. That’s right, Carousel of Progress is back up and running!
We’re hanging out in a reopened Hollywood Studios this morning, and we’re not the only ones.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
When we got into the park this morning, we noticed that most folks had two priorities — get a Rise of the Resistance boarding group and get in line for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Rise boarding groups were gone in under one minute at the 10AM release and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is dealing with some serious demand of its own. The queue FILLED UP.
Greetings, World travelers. We’re at EPCOT today for its historic grand reopening. And who are we kidding…we’re also here to sample more items at the Food and Wine marketplace food booths scattered throughout the World Showcase.
Bonjour Remy!
So far, we’ve already shown you what crowd levels look like for the first day of the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, which is also making history today. It will be the longest-running EPCOT Food and Wine festival of all time, plus you’ll find parts of EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival patchworked in.
Crowds
So far, we’ve shown you what the crowds have been like today and talked briefly about some of the wait times we were noticing. Now we’re going to share with you a more in-depth look at what the wait times have looked like in Disney’s Hollywood Studios so far today.
We’ve had a LOT of feelings about returning back to Disney World during the first round of reopenings this week.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Although we expected to see distancing measures and new places to spot characters, there were quite a few changes that Disney sprung on guests when they entered the parks. Whether you’re someone who really loves riding attractions or you’re all about the food, Disney World has really shaken things up when it comes to how the parks are working now.
