Isn’t waiting in line at Disney World just SO much fun?! Yeah, we know…it’s definitely a love-hate relationship. You get to look at the cool queues at a lot of the rides, but you also can spend a lot of your day in lines, which isn’t super fun.
Eeeeek!
Disney Genie+ can help you skip some lines throughout your day, but for a price. You may be wondering if wait times are long enough for you to spend money to skip the lines, so let’s take a look at the wait times from this week at Disney World to get an idea of how busy the parks are right now!

Since we still have to make park reservations, does that mean that the DW parks are not up to 100% capacity? If not, what percentage are they? 65%? 75%? Everything has felt super crowded lately.
The saddest thing about all this is that, at the Happiest Place on Earth in the MK pic, I only saw ONE smile out of all those people (little boy near middle next to rope) 🥺
