Ahhhh Disney World, we love you so!
There are many exciting changes coming including the return of the Disney Dining Plan, Genie+ changes, and Park Passes are disappearing for many, but one thing remains the same — LONG wait times. However, something unexpected just happened at the most popular attraction in ALL of Disney World!
We look at the average wait times in Disney World every week and if you’ve seen them before, you know Rise of the Resistance wait times make you want to CRINGE. Hardcore. This week, though, we noticed that the ride saw a major drop in wait times, so you can take a breath now! Take a look at that drop and the rest of the average Disney World wait times below.
Magic Kingdom
Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time of 61 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 67 minutes and the week before that it was 69 minutes, so the time has continued to decrease.
