food IS a theme park
What’s up, DFB friends? We’ve been back to Magic Kingdom to see what’s new.
Welcome to Adventureland!
So for all the updates, just keep on reading, because we’ve got a few for you!
We’re back again this weekend for another look at wait times across Disney World!
Welcome to Disney World!
We saw wait times continue to drop a little lower this week, likely helped by the weather, and the end of the spring break season. Let’s take a closer look to see which park had the longest wait!
Walt Disney World reopened in 2020 with some major adjustments due to additional health and safety needs. We’ve slowly seen hotels and restaurants reopen and ticket options come back but one of the missing perks that we have yet to hear an update on is a possible return of FastPass+.
Pandora is just so breathtaking! Good thing the lines for rides keep you there for hours 😉
Even with a reduced Disney Parks capacity, it can still be a challenge to ride some of the most popular rides. FastPass+ was a major perk for park guests in tackling some of these big-name attractions. Just to name a few there’s Flight of Passage, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Slinky Dog Dash, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Test Track, and Rise of the Resistance (though that’s a whole other ballgame we’ll get to in a bit!). If crowds are close to capacity, you can be stuck having to wait 60+ minutes in the socially distanced line with no option to skip the line. But, we’re here to tell you that it definitely is possible to ride ALL of these without a FastPass+. So, before you panic, just hear us out.
Disney’s constantly adjusting their procedures throughout the parks.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Lately, we’ve noticed Disney has stopped socially distancing rows on many of their rides. And while slower-moving rides like Frozen Ever After or Living with the Land have installed plexiglass shields between rows, that has not been the case with roller coaster-like rides such as Slinky Dog Dash and Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster. And recently, we noticed another fast-moving ride has gotten the same treatment.
If you’re at Magic Kingdom today, there’s one ride you’ll have to wait to experience!
Cinderella Castle
Several attractions are currently down for refurbishment (PeopleMover, we MISS you!), but others can close temporarily for other reasons. Such was the case when Seven Dwarfs Mine Train became unavailable today.
Throughout January, the average wait times have continued to drop and drop.
Spaceship Earth
However, things are changing this week because almost every attraction’s wait time went UP this week! The times haven’t changed a ton, but they are going in the opposite direction than they were going for a while. Today, we’re going to take a look at the average wait times in ALL four parks from this week!
When it comes to Disney World rides, not all seats are created equal.
Big Thunder Mountain
The attraction vehicles are designed to give guests a good experience from any seat. That doesn’t mean that every seat is the best seat. Some seats offer a better view and others offer a smoother ride. You might notice that the back row of Pirates of the Caribbean is cozier and feels a bit more private than the crowded middle seat! And, thrill-seekers love to sit in the front row of Space Mountain to get the total illusion of bolting through space. It takes a few rides on each attraction before you can determine which seat has the coolest experience. Most of the time, you only have one chance to ride Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train during your vacation so you gotta make it count! To help you out, we’re breaking down the BEST and WORST places to be seated at each attraction in the Magic Kingdom!
Disney World is known for their innovative and unique attractions.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
While there are clear crowd-favorites and rides you can usually count on as a walk-on, we wondered how overrated and underrated these attractions are!
