It’s no secret that crowds tend to pick up in Disney World during this time of year, but what do the wait times say?

Wait times have been consistently decreasing over October and November but with Thanksgiving approaching and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party being back in Magic Kingdom, we’re expecting to see wait times start to increase. Find out if we’re right — we have all the average wait times in Disney World from this past week!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — before you scroll down to check out this week’s wait times, we highly recommend making a list of your favorite Disney World rides first. Yes, it’s kind of annoying, but it’s the best way to help you decide whether you should buy Genie+! Remember that Genie+ is Disney’s new version of the FastPass, and it’s no longer free. Instead, it’ll cost you $15 to $22 per person, per day (or possibly more in the future), and that’s kind of a big investment.

With Genie+, you’re able to select ride Lightning Lanes that bypass standby lines, which means you spend less time waiting in line and more time having fun. If you can identify which of your favorite rides tend to have the highest wait times, you can figure out whether Genie+ is worth the cost for you.

Okay, fine! You can scroll below now to see all the average wait times of every Disney World ride this past week below!
