It’s time yet again to see just how busy Disney World has been lately!
It’s sort of an odd time in Disney World right now in terms of the crowds. Summer is ending and kids are going back to school, so there are less people on vacation, but it’s also the Halloween season and there are a ton of things going on. So, crowds can be a bit unpredictable at the moment. One way we like to gauge how busy it is is by looking at wait times, so let’s take a look at ALL of the average wait times from around Disney World this week!
Magic Kingdom
Let’s head to Magic Kingdom! This week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 50 minutes!
After that, we had Peter Pan’s Flight at 49 minutes, Jungle Cruise at 31 minutes, Splash Mountain at 27 minutes, Haunted Mansion at 26 minutes, Space Mountain at 25 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 23 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 22 minutes, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 20 minutes,Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 17 minutes, and Pirates of the Caribbean at 15 minutes.
Next, we had Mickey’s PhilharMagic at 14 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway at 13 minutes,Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid at 13 minutes, Dumbo the Flying Elephant at 12 minutes, and “it’s a small world” at 10 minutes.
Then, we saw Magic Carpets of Aladdin at 9 minutes, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at 8 minutes, Mad Tea Party at 7 minutes, Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini at 7 minutes, and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel at 6 minutes.
And rides with even lower wait times were Liberty Square Riverboat at 4 minutes and Carousel of Progress at 4 minutes. Rides with no waits were Country Bear Jamboree, Tom Sawyer Island, Hall of Presidents, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse.

I just came back from Hollywood Studios and the only ride that was under 30 minutes was Star Tours. All of the other rides were at least an hour if not more.

Not too bad, back to the 1990’s when wait times didn’t seem so long…
