Every week, we check the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando! This week, the Magic Kingdom classic saw incremental wait increases, while the rest of Walt Disney World remained relatively staid, with some decreases.
Lightning Lanes in Walt Disney World
Disney World’s longest average wait time was for Flight of Passage, as usual, but the ride saw a rare 9-minute DROP in its average wait time. It will be interesting to see what, if any, effect the new Lighting Lane system will have on wait times next week.
Take a look at this week’s average wait times — going from highest to lowest!

The Magic Kingdom park saw some interesting increases across the board this week.

As a visitor, this is great. But for Disney business, it is not so good. Perhaps Disney pushed a little too far on the price hikes. Maybe now they ‘ll ease up and pause any price increases. In the meantime, we will enjoy the smaller crowds and shorter lines.
