Magic Kingdom’s Most Popular Rides Had Shorter Lines Last Week!

When you’re planning a trip to Disney World, it’s a good idea to check on the latest wait time trends so you know what to expect. The end of the Holiday weekend combined with the slight lull period before the summer season led to a decrease in ride times across the board last week.

Everything from the Magic Kingdom’s “Big Four” of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, and Peter Pan’s Flight to Flight of Passage to Frozen Ever After to Slinky Dog Dash saw decreases this week. The only major ride to see a slight uptick? Rise of the Resistance, though that was likely more due to downtime than crowds.

Let’s take a look at this past week’s average wait times — from lowest to highest!
