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

Magic Kingdom

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

Haunted Mansion

Wait times at Magic Kingdom went up this week, with incremental increases across the board. TRON, as expected, remained the park’s busiest ride, with a wait time over 70 minutes.

(REMINDER: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is currently only available with virtual queue and Lightning Lanes.)

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Slinky Dog Dash

Over in Hollywood Studios, saw a change at the top this week, as Rise of the Resistance fell from 83 minutes to 64 minutes, and was overtaken by Slinky Dog Dash as the park’s busiest ride.

EPCOT

So pretty!

The wait times in EPCOT saw minor increases across the board this week, in-line with what we saw from the Magic Kingdom.

(NOTE: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not currently use a standby queue, so it’s not included here.)

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Flight of Passage

Animal Kingdom’s Flight of Passage increased by almost 25 MINUTES, taking it all the way to top of the list of Disney World’s busiest rides.
