The Surprising Trend You’ll Notice in Disney World Right Now

There are so many things to do at Disney World, but the most popular would have to be the attractions!

Disney World is full of rides for people of all ages — there’s a thrill at places like Tower of Terror and family-friendly rides like Dumbo. Since this is a major part of most trips to Disney World, it’s important to stay up-to-date on the wait time trends.

Spring break season is in full swing and it has been pretty busy in the parks! But this week, we noticed a surprising trend in the wait times — they are going DOWN. A lot of popular rides hit some high average wait times last week, but those have decreased significantly.

Now don’t get us wrong, you’ll still be waiting a while at rides like Rise of the Resistance, but we can’t ignore the major drop compared to last week. Keep scrolling to see what the average wait times looked like in all four parks this week!
