How long would you wait in line for your favorite ride in Disney World?
30 minutes? An hour? 3 hours? We’re sure the answer varies for most people, but it also depends on what ride is your favorite. If you LOVE Barnstormer, you most likely won’t have to endure that outdoor queue for very long. But, if you’re a Rise of the Resistance fan…you’re probably going to be waiting for a while! However, wait times have been changing recently in Disney World, so let’s take a look at what they were like this week!
Magic Kingdom
Let’s head to Magic Kingdom! This week, Jungle Cruise actually had the highest average wait time at 61 minutes, beating out Seven Dwarfs Mine Train for the first time in a while.

Elaine Henderson says
On Monday around 9:45am at Epcot, we were in line for Smugglers Run and got evacuated. No announcements…just cast members telling us to leave the building immediately. Once out they said to get away from the building. Are you able to say what happened?
Thanks,
Elaine
