food IS a theme park
This week was not a normal one in Disney World.
Test Track
Hurricane Ian made its way through the state of Florida, causing the Disney World parks to close on Wednesday and Thursday. The parks did a phased reopening on Friday, where we did see a decent amount of people. So, what are crowds like during the week of a hurricane in Disney World? Let’s take a look at the average wait times from this week to find out.
Has it ever occurred to you how long you spend waiting for things in Disney World?
Magic Kingdom entrance
Waiting for transportation, waiting to scan into the parks, waiting for food, waiting to check out your merchandise, waiting for the bathroom, and (probably the most notable) waiting in line for rides. It can take up a LOT of your day, especially if you’re at the parks when they’re really busy. So, will you have to prepare yourself to wait in long lines at Disney World soon? Let’s take a look at the wait times from this past week to find out!
Have you heard the recent news about Disney World?!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
During Disney’s D23 Expo, it was revealed that an expansion was being considered for Magic Kingdom, and that DinoLand U.S.A. could be replaced. None of it’s official yet, but the ideas are pretty interesting. Would these new areas make the parks way more crowded? Would lines get longer? We can’t know until it possibly happens, but we CAN plan for the wait times we have right now. So, let’s take a look at all of the average wait times from around Disney World this week!
If you’re going to Disney World soon, you have a few things you should be planning for!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
You’ve gotta grab your hotel, tickets, Park Pass Reservations, and dining reservations (unless you’re just doing quick-service meals!). You also need to plan for things like which parks close early on certain days and how long the lines for rides are. Luckily, we’re here to help! Let’s take a look at the average wait times from last week in Disney World to see just how long you might spend waiting to go on your favorite rides.
It’s time yet again to see just how busy Disney World has been lately!
Galaxy’s Edge
It’s sort of an odd time in Disney World right now in terms of the crowds. Summer is ending and kids are going back to school, so there are less people on vacation, but it’s also the Halloween season and there are a ton of things going on. So, crowds can be a bit unpredictable at the moment. One way we like to gauge how busy it is is by looking at wait times, so let’s take a look at ALL of the average wait times from around Disney World this week!
If you could skip the line of ONE Disney World ride for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?
Haunted Mansion in Disney World
Maybe you’d go with something that almost always has a long line like Rise of the Resistance, or you could pick a classic attraction, like Pirates of the Caribbean. Oh, if only permanent Lightning Lanes were a real thing — we’d be all about it! But, unfortunately, you usually do have to wait in some lines when you’re in the parks. So, will you be waiting for a long time if you visit soon? Let’s take a look at the wait times from this past week to find out!
It might still be summer in a lot of places, but Disney World is fully getting into the fall spirit!
Magic Kingdom
There are pumpkins on Main Street, U.S.A., spooky treats to try, and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back! So, you would think all of this would bring out a lot of people to the parks, right? Well — not so fast. It’s also back-to-school season, which means a lot of families are no loner on their summer vacations. If you’re wondering how this is affecting the crowds, let’s take a look at the wait times from last week to find out!
Crowds and Disney World seem to go hand-in-hand, don’t they?
Yikes!
It’s hard to find a time when there are low crowds in the parks these days, but it DOES happen! There are also ways to avoid the crowds or to plan your day so that you aren’t trying to ride the same rides as everyone else during peak hours. It’s still summer, which means Disney World is usually pretty crowded, but we noticed some oddly low wait times today!
It’s still summertime in Disney World, which typically means hot weather and big crowds.
Cinderella Castle
But, this summer, we have been surprised by the crowds several times. And, even though the weather is hot, Disney World is already celebrating Halloween! With school starting back up again, people are either taking last minute vacays to the parks or they’re at home getting ready, so it’s a bit unpredictable when it comes to crowds. We’re going to take a look at the wait times from this past week to see just how busy it’s been!
There has been SO much happening at Disney World lately, it’s hard to keep up!
Tower of Terror
Luckily, we keep up with everything so you don’t have to. We’ve seen new MagicBand+ introduced, more meet and greets are coming back, and we’ve even seen more restaurants reopening. So, has all of this activity brought more people out to the parks? Let’s take a look at the wait times from last week to find out!
