Disney World’s wait times seem to be all over the place right now — one day, a popular ride may have a long wait all day long…and the next day the wait time won’t even break an hour. There’s a lot going on at Disney World right now and that means folks are flocking to the parks, but let’s see what that means for wait times.
We are tuned into Disney’s fourth-quarter earnings call!
Animal Kingdom
Disney released their fourth-quarter earnings report this morning, followed by an earnings call to discuss the report. We are bringing you all the latest news and we may have just got a HUGE hint on when Disney World will be crowded next year.Â
WHAT is going on with the crowds in Disney World?
Entrance to EPCOT
During the Q3 earnings call in August of 2024, Disney revealed that demand for its domestic parks had been “flat.” (CEO Bob Iger had actually predicted that attendance would go down.) One Disney executive explained that higher-income consumers are traveling internationally more, while lower-income consumers are feeling a little bit of stress. Disney also warned that there could be a continuation of those trends in terms of the “top line.” So just what’s happening with the crowds now? Has demand gone up or down since we last heard from Disney? We’ve got an update.

It is no secret that Disney World can get crowded, which can sometimes result in longer wait times for rides and attractions.
Crowds in Magic Kingdom
While it may seem like every season is busy season at Disney World, we tend to see higher crowd levels around school breaks like spring break, summer break, and the upcoming holiday breaks. While the influx of crowds can make ride wait times longer than average, you may be surprised to find out that sometimes the longest lines in the park are not for a ride.
The Holidays are here… at least at Disney World.
Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime parade
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has officially begun, marking the unofficial start of the Holiday season at the resort. The main draws of the party are the exclusive Holiday experiences, including Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show, treats, and character meet & greets in their Holiday best, and access to many of the Magic Kingdom’s attractions including holiday overlays of Space Mountain, and the Jingle Cruise.

Happy first of November, or what we like to call, the first day of the holiday season in Disney World.
Happy Holidays!
Now, we’ve already seen some holiday decorations arrive in the parks. The first Jollywood Nights is coming up SOON in Hollywood Studios, followed by Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom has transformed overnight (and we’re always impressed when it goes from Halloween to Christmas in less than 24 hours). If you’re looking forward to the holiday season in Disney World, particularly New Year’s Eve, though, we’ve got a word of warning for you.
