food IS a theme park
Walt Disney World saw a SECOND week in a row of decreased wait times!
Slinky Dog Dash
With things settling down after the Holiday weekend and the summer rush not yet in full swing, Disney World saw some significant decreases in wait times once again this week. Heavy hitters including the Magic Kingdom’s Big Four, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, Slinky Dog Dash, and EVEN Flight of Passage saw average times get lower this past week.Â
Okay, it’s time to have a real talk about Disney World.
Rise of the Resistance
Yes, Disney World IS The Most Magical Place on Earth, but let’s just say some things have happened…and well, we’ve been through some things. We’ve had some very questionable drinks and snacks, obviously (because we do try to eat EVERYTHING). We’ve also had some strange experiences. But let’s talk about rides. We’ve also had some pretty bad ride experiences. So we’ve decided to share those with you (because we’re suckers for punishment).
For the second week in a row, Â Walt Disney World wait times across the resort mostly trended downward over the past 7 days.
Kali River Rapids
Even eternally busy attractions like Avatar: Flight of Passage and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure saw slight decreases this week, which is interesting. However, one water ride saw a MASSIVE leap, which is a big hint that summer and its temperatures are almost here.Â
A week after things stayed stable at Walt Disney World, wait times across the resort trended downward over the past 7 days.
Frozen Ever After
Even some of the resort’s most in-demand rides fell slightly this week at 3 out of 4 Walt Disney World parks (we’re throwing a side-eye your way, Animal Kingdom). Also notably, Rise of the Resistance overtook Slinky Dog Dash for the highest average wait time at Hollywood Studios.
We know there is a Loungefly out there for nearly every Disney ride, but we spotted a few new designer bags that have us yelling “Take all our money!”
“it’s a small world” in Disneyland
These may not be mini backpacks, but we are loving them all the same. A new ‘it’s a small world’ collection has landed on the Disney Store website, and our Mary Blaire hearts are swooning. So let’s check out the brand new Dooney & Bourke collection that you’re going to need if your favorite ride is ‘it’s a small world.’
After wait times EXPLODED last week, things got back to normal at Walt Disney World.Â
EPCOT
Wait times were pretty much what we expected this week, with one surprising exception: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure overtook Frozen Ever After for the title of longest average wait time at EPCOT.Â
Waits increased pretty much across the board at Walt Disney World this week.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
The major attractions at the magic Kingdom and EPCOT both saw quantifiable increases in average wait times over the first full week of May. Not to be outdone, Animal Kingdom’s Flight of Passage – the ride with the highest average wait time in the whole resort – leapt up close to 100 minutes.
Welcome to Data Town. OK, this isn’t really Data Town, but we are here to bring you some fresh statistics straight from Disney World. We compiled the average Disney World wait time data for the past seven days (April 26th–May 2nd), and we need to tell you the interesting trends we’ve spotted. Walt Disney World saw some interesting average wait time fluctuations this week. Most parks saw the status quo remain in place, while one saw some WILD increases.
Crowds in Animal Kingdom
Two of Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s most in-demand attractions saw double-digit increases in wait times this week, with one breaking the 90-minute barrier as Disney World’s most in-demand attraction. Ready to see the stats? Let’s go!
After some MASSIVE jumps in wait times at Walt Disney World last week, things have stabilized a bit.
Frozen Ever After
Wait times at Walt Disney World were steady over the resort this week, though we did still see some incremental increases.
Waits were LONGER across the board at Walt Disney World this week.
The Tree of Life
After last week saw wait times go down pretty much across the board at Walt Disney World, this week saw that trend unfortunately head in the opposite direction. Major attractions at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom saw increases in their average wait times, some as high as 10 MINUTES!
