food IS a theme park
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World wait times have been pretty low lately. Of course, even during this slower time of year, some of Disney’s popular attractions still reported wait times close to 60 minutes. Nevertheless, wait times, perhaps impacted by Lighting Lane Multi Pass, remained low overall.
A new lounge is coming to Magic Kingdom in 2025 that will be themed to the classic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. We are looking forward to stopping in after a long day at sea!
Cinderella Castle
The new Pirates of the Caribbean lounge will continue the story of Pirates of the Caribbean and provide a place for pirates of all ages to gather. However, there is one question that we don’t know the answer to yet: will this new lounge serve alcohol?

Grab a snack and let’s talk wait times.
Disney World saw something VERY RARE this week. Flight of Passage did NOT have the highest average wait time at the resort, that title instead went to Slinky Dog Dash. Meanwhile, Jungle Cruise closed for refurbishment and the Lighting Lane Multi Pass continued to impact the resort.
Magic Kingdom is home to many iconic attractions, but one of the most notable is Pirates of the Caribbean.
Pirates of the Caribbean in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Located in Adventureland, this ride was originally built and themed after regular pirates and their adventures, and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise we all know (and some of us love) was actually inspired BY the ride! Like any popular ride, it has its issues every now and then with breaking down, but there is ONE rule many Cast Members who have worked on this ride are begging you not to break.

Magic Kingdom
Disney World saw an unprecedented week of wait time decreases in the final full week of August. Every ride in the resort – – including Flight of Passage – – saw times decrease. Was this due to summer vacation ending, the new Lighting Lane Multi Pass system, or something else?

Storm clouds over the Magic Kingdom…
Disney World saw one of its most iconic — and popular — attractions return this week. Peter Pan’s Flight ended its refurb early and immediately changed the wait times landscape at the Magic Kingdom. Meanwhile, guests continued to get used to the new Lighting Lane Multi Pass system.

It’s Halloween in Disney World!
Disney World is now officially celebrating the Halloween season in Magic Kingdom. A new skip-the-line Genie+ replacement called Lighting Lane Multi Pass is now in effect. So, with these factors in mind, what are the average wait times looking like in Disney World for the first week of August? Let’s take a look!
Magic Kingdom is about to be getting a LOT of construction.
Pirates of the Caribbean
First, a new Cars land is set to break ground any day now, which will take over Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America. Then a new Villains land will be under construction at some point behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. A new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern is also coming to Magic Kingdom soon, and we believe construction may have already started — so how about an update?

Hollywood Studios
Disney World had a bit of a bizzare week, as far as wait times go. Most were generally up at the resort, especially at EPCOT, but the Magic Kingdom saw some bizarre fluctuations. Is this an effect of the new Lighting Lane Multi Pass system? Possibly.
