Disney World’s Most Popular Attraction Just Got Even HARDER to Ride

For a long time, the hardest ride to get on was Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But wow, that has changed!

We’re constantly looking at the wait times so we can keep you up-to-date on the latest trends in the parks. Over time, we’ve noticed that one ride has passed the rest for the highest consistent wait time — Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Last week Flight of Passage posted a 106-minute average wait time. Unfortunately, we have to bring you the news that the average climbed to a 115-minute average this week. But don’t worry — we have solutions!

If this is a must-do ride for you, you can try a few strategies. First (which is the most expensive option) you can buy an Individual Lightning Lane for an expedited wait time. The price depends on the day, but it may make sense to save you the hassle of waiting in a long line.

Although rope drop can be chaotic, that may be your best bet to have the shortest wait time if you have Early Theme Park Entry. You can get this perk by staying at Disney World hotels and it allows you to enter the parks 30 minutes before the official opening!

Check out that and all of the average wait times in Disney World from the past week in all four parks.
