Many people may think the most popular ride in Disney World is over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios…but they’d be mistaken!

It makes sense — Hollywood Studios is full of popular rides with very long wait times. However, the culprit for the longest wait time is hiding over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It’s Flight of Passage in Pandora — The World of Avatar, but now we’ve got a good update to share.

The wait times have been rough during the holiday season as expected, but now that that’s over, we’re seeing a much-needed decrease in those wait times. For example, Flight of Passage wait times have decreased by 53% over the past couple of weeks! The average wait time was 170 minutes two weeks ago, but now that has dropped significantly.

Below, we will show you the average wait times from every attraction in Disney World over the past week.

Magic Kingdom

Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time of 71 minutes. Last week, the average wait time was 80 minutes, so the average has decreased since then.

Next, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 58 minutes, Space Mountain averaged 52 minutes, Jungle Cruise averaged 42 minutes, Haunted Mansion at 37 minutes, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad averaged 36 minutes. Average wait times held Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 31 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Enchanted Tales with Belle at 28 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 27 minutes, followed by Pirates of the Caribbean at 24 minutes.

After that, “it’s a small world” averaged 18 minutes, Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini averaged 17 minutes, Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Magic Carpets of Aladdin averaged 15 minutes, Mickey’s PhilharMagic averaged 14 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway averaged 13 minutes, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover averaged 11 minutes, and Mad Tea Party averaged 10 minutes.
