Are the old wait times trends in Disney World finally back to normal?
After Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith’s reopening threw Disney World’s wait times into a bit of flux, things returned to relative normalcy this week. Though notably, demand for the classic coaster remained high, making Hollywood Studios the only one of Disney World’s four parks to have TWO rides with waits that averaged over an hour.
Take a look at this week’s average wait times — going from highest to lowest!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
The Magic Kingdom park wait times stayed pretty stable this week, even though longtime fan-favorite and heavily in-demand attraction Peter Pan’s Flight closed for refurbishment. It will be interesting to see whether things change next week when Pan will be down for the entirety of the week. (NOTE: Tron Lightcycle/Run does not currently use a standby queue, it’s not included here, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure does not have a standby queue yet. )

EPCOT’s wait time champion was still Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure this week. However, in general, the park saw small decreases in wait times pretty much across the board this week. (NOTE: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not currently use a standby queue, so it’s not included here.)
