If you’re wanting to plan a Disney World trip, you may be wondering “When is the best time to visit Disney World?”

Well, that answer totally depends on YOU. Do you want to avoid crowds at all costs? Don’t visit during summer or spring break. Do you want to be in the crowds on the opening day of a major attraction like Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana (which is coming to EPCOT this year)? Prepare for busy parks. If you are someone who is seeking lower crowds and wait times on a Disney World trip, you may want to wait.

With the Halloween season officially kicking off and the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival in full swing, it seems things are picking up at some rides. We compiled the average wait times for every single ride in Disney World from the past week — check it out below!
