Hello from Walt Disney World!
There was a LOT that happened at Disney World this week! It was the first night of Disney Very Merriest After Hours holiday party, more holiday treats came out and decorations went up, and it was Disney+ Day! So, how did that affect the crowds? We like to gauge that by looking at how long lines were in the parks, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
Magic Kingdom
Let’s head to Magic Kingdom! This week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 63 minutes!
After that, we had Peter Pan’s Flight at 60 minutes, Jungle Cruise at 54 minutes, Haunted Mansion at 33 minutes, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 30 minutes, Space Mountain at 27 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 26 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 26 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean at 24 minutes, Splash Mountain at 23 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 22 minutes, and “its a small world” at 21 minutes.
