A Word of Warning About Disney World Wait Times Right Now...

Let’s face it — waiting in lines is one of the worst parts about Disney World.

Crowds

Some queues are fun and have interactive elements or air conditioning, but most Disney World visitors want to do as much as possible to get their money’s worth — so waiting in lines is not ideal! We are sad to report that these lines are getting longer as we continue to make our way through summer break.

Most attractions in Disney World saw an increase in wait times this week. In the list below, though, each wait time that went DOWN this week is bolded. Take a look so you can see how to strategize and what to prioritize on your vacation!

Magic Kingdom

Wait times increased at almost every single attraction in Magic Kingdom with the exception of Pirates of the Caribbean (which had a pretty big increase last week). Haunted Mansion had the most significant jump in wait times from 40 minutes to 50 minutes, but Seven Dwarfs Mine Train still holds the longest wait time in the park by far.
