And as a result, we saw some crowds and some pretty hefty wait times for the attraction that is currently only using a standby-only line. But there will soon be a few ways to beat the line!Â

As part of this season, a new Muppets Haunted Mansion Halloween special is coming to Disney+ on October 8th. The show will feature original songs, celebrity appearances, and, of course, lots of Muppets. You can watch the official trailer for it now.

Until recently, the only way to experience this attraction, however, was to tap those fingers VERY quickly and try to get one of a limited number of available Boarding Groups.

That means you can now just hop in the regular standby line to get in on all the Star Wars fun. Just how long did it take us to ride the ride today? We’re sharing all of that information with you right here!
It’s hard to believe that October is right around the corner.

But today was the first day that it switched to a standby queue instead, with guests lining up in person rather than joining an online queue. So what do the crowds look like for this super popular ride?
