Something strange is going on with Disney World rides.
This week we celebrated Halloween, said goodbye to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and said hello to the holidays! Holidays are typically some of the busiest times in Disney World but we noticed that wait times went down at nearly every attraction this week! We keep track of the average wait times every week, so keep scrolling to see the wait times at each Disney World ride from the past week.
Magic Kingdom
Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time of 56 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 65 minutes so the average has decreased a lot.
Next, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 51 minutes, Haunted Mansion averaged 39 minutes, and Jungle Cruise and Space Mountain averaged 32 minutes. Average wait times held Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Enchanted Tales with Belle, and Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 23 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 22 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 21 minutes, followed by Pirates of the Caribbean at 19 minutes.
After that, Mickey’s PhilharMagic averaged 14 minutes, “it’s a small world” averaged 13 minutes, Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini at 12 minutes, Dumbo the Flying Elephant at 11 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway and Magic Carpets of Aladdin averaged 10 minutes, Mad Tea Party at 9 minutes, and Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover averaged 8 minutes.

The Country Bear Jamboree and Tom Sawyer Island were walk-ons this week.
