We’re back in a very busy Disney World this week to bring you the weekly wait times!
Disney World
Last week, many fan-favorite rides saw a decrease in average wait times. Now, with Disney World at capacity most of this week, wait times (for the most part) are on the rise again! Today,we’re taking a look at the average wait times in ALL four Disney World theme parks!
Magic Kingdom
Last week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train lost its winning streak of highest wait time in all of Disney World when it went down to 62 minutes. Somehow, despite the spring break crowds, the wait time went down AGAIN to a 54 minute average this week!

Other wait times for thrill rides include Space Mountain averaged 43 minutes, Splash Mountain averaging 50 minutes (which is 6 minutes lower than last week), and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad averaged 33 minutes (which is down 11 minutes from last week). Pirates of the Caribbean had a pretty high wait at 50 minutes.

More attractions with wait times in the 30s include Jungle Cruise at 37 minutes, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel at 34 minutes, “it’s a small world” at 36 minutes, Peter Pan’s Flight at 33 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 38 minutes, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin with 35 minutes.

Rides with average waits in the 20s include Mickey’s PhilarMagic at 23 minutes, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 22 minutes, and Haunted Mansion at 21 minutes.

With waits in the teens, we saw The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Mad Tea Party and The Barnstormer at 15 minutes, Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid at 18 minutes, and Tomorrowland Speedway at 16 minutes.

Attractions with a pretty short wait time include the Carousel of Progress at 9 minutes, and Country Bear Jamboree at 8 minutes.
Country Bears
Just like the weeks before, there were a handful of attractions with zero minute wait times, including the Enchanted Tiki Room. The Hall of Presidents and Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse are currently under refurbishment.
The Hall of Presidents
A lot of the wait times fluctuated slightly except for the super popular attractions! Somehow, in Magic Kingdom at least, the wait times for some of the most popular attractions actually went DOWN.

EPCOT
Test Track continues to have the longest wait in EPCOT this week at 48 minutes. This time went up 10 minutes this week, but it is still nowhere near the times it used to have around the winter holidays!
Test Track
Other popular attractions like Soarin‘ (42 minutes), Frozen After Ever (37 minutes), and Mission: SPACE (33 minutes) also had average wait times that went up a good amount.
Mission Space
The rest of EPCOT saw fairly low average wait times as usual, including Spaceship Earth with 21 minutes, Journey Into Imagination with Figment and the Gran Fiesta Tour with 11 minutes, The Seas with Nemo & Friends with 10 minutes, and Living with the Land with 8 minutes.
Imagination Pavilion
Similarly to past weeks, all of the films in EPCOT had a zero minute wait. That includes Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Awesome Planet, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China. American Adventure.
Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival
The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival kicked off last week, so it is drawing lots and lots of guests to the park! Even though the festivals tend to draw crowds towards the booths and activities, lots of guests are hitting up the attractions as well!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
The longest wait time in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is still Tower of Terror with 67 minutes. Slinky Dog Dash was right on its tail though, because it had an average of 65 minutes!

Other attractions also had wait times that increased this week like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run with 56 minutes, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 44 minutes, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster averaged 43 minutes.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
A few attractions are below those times. Star Tours averaged 37 minutes, Toy Story Mania averaged 34 minutes, and Alien Swirling Saucers averaged 30 minutes.
Toy Story Mania
Muppet*Vision 3D and Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy saw average wait times of 28 minutes which makes them the lowest in the park. Remember that Rise of the Resistance is not included in these numbers due to its virtual queue.

The crowds are much longer than this as of Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Wait times have hit over 90 minutes on several different attractions.
Guests are still Being allowed in and there are at times barely any room. The crowd should have been capped at a lower number because the parks are way too crowded for safety.
