Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando! Recently, an interesting pattern of wait times has developed, and we need to discuss it.
It’s Halloween in Disney World!
Disney World is now officially celebrating the Halloween season in Magic Kingdom. A new skip-the-line Genie+ replacement called Lighting Lane Multi Pass is now in effect. So, with these factors in mind, what are the average wait times looking like in Disney World for the first week of August? Let’s take a look!
Take a look at this week’s average wait times!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
The Magic Kingdom had a pretty great week — the average wait times ALL stayed under 60 minutes. What does that tell us? Well, for one thing, it seems like the Magic Kingdom isn’t too crowded, or the new Lightning Lane system is doing a pretty good job at keeping those wait times evenly distributed. Either way, spending a day in Magic Kingdom right about now is the way to go!
