J.R. says
It’s still the Winter tourist season in Florida (even though it’s Spring), and some schools are on Spring break, even though most schools have finished Spring break.
Let’s see if things calm down by the end of April. If rising food, gas, rent, interest rates, homeowners insurance, medical care, and constant price increases at Disney World can’t stop the crowded conditions then nothing can

I wouldn’t wait hours for any ride in any theme park.
CT says
I guess I missed if this was using Genie+ or not?
Eric L Erickson says
The bottom line is that I wouldn’t “wait hours” for ANY ride! In fact, I’ve never even entered a line that had a wait-time of greater than 45 minutes posted & that was in Pandora for “Avatar Flight of Passage” because it looked like the longest part of the “wait” was the walk from the entrance to the ride itself — that was in April 2021!
Prior to the “pandemic shutdown”, the only rides that I’d ride were the ones I had a Fast Pass for OR that had a single rider line like Test Track.
The thing is, between back & leg issues, standing in line for extended periods is just not an option for me, but even if I didn’t have those “health issues”, I doubt seriously if I would ever stand in line for more than an hour.
RonJon says
Still being break for schools and with Genie+ making things even orse, long lines with long wait times is no suprise.
Mark Faron says
NOTHING, at Disney, is worth wasting any time on! Especially, these extended wait times!!
Holly says
We just got back from a 10 day trip and the wait times were RIDICULOUS! Waited 2.5 hours for Avitar which I will NEVER wait that long for anything again, red flag should’ve gone up when I realized they’ve got a bathroom inside for the people in queue. I think so many things are contributing to the wait times i.e. Spring Break, 50th celebration, everyone finally being able to go on vacation after the pandemic. While I have no regrets, the wait times definitely took away some of the magic.
