Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Disney World’s wait times seem to be all over the place right now — one day, a popular ride may have a long wait all day long…and the next day the wait time won’t even break an hour. There’s a lot going on at Disney World right now and that means folks are flocking to the parks, but let’s see what that means for wait times.
Take a look at this week’s average wait times!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
Wait times at Magic Kingdom seemed to mostly be what we’d expect for this time of year — except for on days when Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is going on. Then, we often see wait times drop since folks don’t want to waste a day in Magic Kingdom if the park is closing early. We’re also still seeing higher wait times for Jingle Cruise!
(REMINDER: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is currently only available with a virtual queue.)
