food IS a theme park
After wait times EXPLODED last week, things got back to normal at Walt Disney World.
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.
It is about to be a HUGE couple of months for Disney World! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and CommuniCore Hall & Plaza will be opening in June, we are expecting Country Bear Musical Jamboree to open this summer, and the Food & Wine Festival and Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party kick off in August.
Summer is coming!
It is going to be a busy couple of months, and we want to make sure you are prepared with the perfect Disney outfits! The DFB Store has a huge variety of shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, mugs, and more. Plus, we are having a special sale right now that you don’t want to miss out on!
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.

The Disney Treasure is scheduled to make its maiden voyage in December of 2024. The ship – which will be the sixth in the Disney Cruise Line’s growing fleet – will serve as the sister ship to the Disney Wish. The two vessels will share some restaurants and menu items with each other, while the Treasure will features some exclusives as well. These are 4 items we can’t wait to eat on the Treasure… plus a bonus!
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!
Y’all, the moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived!
Cinderella Castle
After weeks of seeing pretty high average wait times, the Spring Break crowds have finally left Disney World! Wait times have gone down significantly at every single park, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Along with that, the walkways are also a lot less crowded — so getting around the parks has been so much easier, too. We’re hoping that these low wait times are here to stay — at least for a little while. [Read more…]
Wait times have not been letting up at Disney World this week!
Fight of Passage Lightning Lane
However, it might not be in the way you’re thinking. This week, the average wait times have remained fairly…consistent. Still long, but a lot of wait times only had changed by a few minutes. Of course, we still have some that jumped up a good amount — like a handful of the major E-ticket attractions. We’re still feeling some impacts of those Spring Break and Easter crowds, so we’re not too surprised. [Read more…]
Are you counting down the days until your next trip to Disney World?
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
We don’t blame you. Disney World has some pretty epic rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Avatar Flight of Passage. That being said, we’re not the only ones who think that maybe some of the rides aren’t all that they’re cracked up to be, right? To that point, we wanted to get your thoughts about which Disney World rides you felt weren’t worth the hype!
