food IS a theme park
For the second week in a row, 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.
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.
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.
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.
There is just so much to see and do in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Just in Magic Kingdom alone, you’ve got a ton of rides, a parade, nighttime fireworks, shows, and other experiences that make your Disney World trip that much more special. But two RARE events occur in Magic Kingdom every year, and if you don’t want to miss those in 2025, keep reading!
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!
Phew, wait times are NOT budging in Disney World right now.

We spend SO much time in lines at the Disney parks, and sometimes it just does not feel like we get a reprieve from the long wait times. This week is one of those weeks! The lines may feel endless at times, but the rides can be SO worth it. There are even some fun things you can do with your family in line — even if you’re not in an interactive queue. For example, you could play a classic game of “I Spy”, you could play “Heads Up” (an app you can get on your phone), or even just take in the scenery and enjoy the moment. Sometimes, doing fun things like that can take some of the pain out of the long wait times — now, let’s take a look at how long you’ll be occupying yourself! [Read more…]
