Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Slinky Dog Dash

Hollywood Studios‘ Rise of the Resistance saw the biggest drop of the week, plummeting nearly 50%, losing not only it’s spot at the top of the overall Disney World list, but also the Hollywood Studios list, as it lost out to Slinky Dog Dash.

Soarin’ Around the World

The wait times in EPCOT dropped as well, with only two rides over 40 minutes.

Kali River Rapids

Animal Kingdom’s Flight of Passage remained the park’s busiest attraction but only had a 7-minute lead over River Journey. Overall, the park’s ride times were very top-heavy. The top three rides were over 30 minutes, and everything else was under 20.
