If you’ve been keeping up with the latest Disney news, then you’ll know that there’s a lot going on right now.
Just this week, we got more news about menus at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, CEO Bob Iger remaining with Disney until 2026, and the rooms at BoardWalk Inn have changed. It can be a LOT to keep track of! But that’s why we’re here — we’ll let you know about anything that could impact your next Disney World vacation. And speaking of, it’s time to talk wait times!
Each week we look at the average wait times in all four Disney World theme parks to see what the patterns are and if there are any rides in particular that you should watch out for. This week, we noticed that EPCOT had low wait times compared to the other parks which gives you another excuse to visit soon!
This won’t last forever, though, because the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival officially starts on July 27th…and it brings TONS of people to the park. Right now the park is between festivals now that the Flower and Garden Festival is over, so we are interested to see how wait times change over the next couple of weeks when the festival begins.
For a full look at the average wait times in Disney World, keep scrolling!
