We Cannot Ignore These 10 Unexpected Ride Closures That Just Happened in Disney World

It’s officially the holiday season in Disney World!

Holiday decorations are going up, and we’re expecting to see crowds pick up soon. That’s because the winter holidays are one of the most popular times to visit Disney World. Between all the gorgeous Christmas trees around the resort, snow on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom, so many fun snacks, and limited-time merchandise, there’s a lot to love. This also means that ride wait times often increase, so let’s take a look at how they are currently!

Magic Kingdom

It’s no surprise to us that TRON Lightcycle / Run had the highest wait of 80 minutes, but what was more shocking was the number of rides that had issues throughout the day. Space Mountain, Mad Tea Party, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel all closed at least one point during the day.

Epcot

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure had the highest wait time of 75 minutes, which was, again, not surprising to us, but EPCOT also had issues with ride closures! Living With The Land, Journey into Imagination, Spaceship Earth, AND The Seas with Nemo and Friends all had closures throughout the day.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Flight of Passage hit a 105-minute wait, which certainly isn’t short, but it thankfully did drop considerably the rest of the day! Animal Kingdom also didn’t struggle with ride closures, which helped keep wait times relatively even.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Slinky Dog Dash had the highest wait time of 105 minutes, but similar to Flight of Passage, it thankfully dropped the remainder of the day. However, other wait times stayed relatively high, and Slinky Dog Dash did also face ride closure issues twice throughout the day.
