Magic Kingdom

We study the average ride wait times in Disney World and report on all the current trends! That way, you can be prepared for your next vacation.  So, now that September is in full swing, what do the average ride waits look like? Should we be worried or relieved? Let’s find out!

Let’s take a look at this past week’s average wait times.

Disney Vacation Planner

One week after losing its crown, Avatar: Flight of Passage regained the title of Walt Disney World’s busiest ride! However, the resort’s wait times remained somewhat low overall. Less than a 60-minute average for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train? That must mean crowds are pretty low right now!

Walt Disney World

Magic Kingdom

Below is the average weekly wait time for each ride, from shortest to longest wait time.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Wait times at the Magic Kingdom stayed relatively stable once again this week, even with the closure of The Jungle Cruise.
(REMINDER: TRON Lightcycle / Run has opened a standby queue for the first time in its history this week. However, given that the ride was not on a standby queue for the full week, it does not have a full week of average wait times yet.)

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Read the list below to see the averages of the Hollywood Studios ride wait times, from low to high.

Alien Swirling Saucers

Even with Flight of Passage dipping, the Animal Kingdom attraction still overtook Hollywood Studios’ Slinky Dog Dash, which itself fell to 53 minutes.

EPCOT

See the average EPCOT attraction wait times from the week below.

Frozen Ever After

The wait times in EPCOT are about the same this week, likely indicating that these will be the standard times during the duration of the 2024 International Food & Wine Festival.
(NOTE: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not currently use a standby queue, so it’s not included here.)

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The average wait times for Animal Kingdom’s attractions are listed below.

Kilimanjaro Safari

Animal Kingdom’s Flight of Passage dipped EVEN more this week, dropping to an average of 55 minutes. That’s one of the shortest waits for this groundbreaking attraction we’ve seen in months.
