If you’re planning to be in Disney World soon, there are a lot of things you need to prepare for.
You need to decide on where you want to make dining reservations, pack clothes for some warm weather, and get ready to deal with crowds. The crowds have been pretty intense lately, so let’s take a look at how bad the wait times were this week in Disney World.

How are these calculated? Everytime I peak at the wait times for the listed rides they are way longer.
