There’s no way to sugarcoat it — it’s been very busy in Disney World lately.
Which is pretty WEIRD for January and February! We expect to see big crowds on long weekends, but there’s been a lot of people in the parks pretty consistently. This appears to have affected the wait times, so if you’re going to Disney World soon, you need to be aware of how long you might spend standing in line. Let’s take a look at all of the average wait times from around Disney World for this past week!
Magic Kingdom
Let’s head to Magic Kingdom! This week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time at 93 minutes!
After that, we had Jungle Cruise at 73 minutes, Peter Pan’s Flight at 68 minutes, Space Mountain at 66 minutes, Splash Mountain at 53 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 53 minutes (prior to its closure for refurbishment; its scheduled reopening was February 19th), Haunted Mansion at 46 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 42 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean at 40 minutes, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 36 minutes, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 35 minutes.
Next, we had “it’s a small world” at 29 minutes, Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini at 29 minutes, Dumbo the Flying Elephant at 28 minutes, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid at 27 minutes, Magic Carpets of Aladdin at 27 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway at 22 minutes, and Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at 21 minutes.
Then, we saw Mickey’s PhilharMagic at 18 minutes, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel at 18 minutes, and Mad Tea Party at 18 minutes.
And rides that only had wait times in the single digits were Carousel of Progress at 5 minutes, Tom Sawyer Island at 3 minutes, Country Bear Jamboree at 2 minutes, and Liberty Square Riverboat at 2 minutes. Rides with no waits were Hall of Presidents, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse.
EPCOT
Over in EPCOT, the ride with the longest average wait was Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at 69 minutes.
Then, we had Frozen Ever After at 65 minutes, Test Track at 55 minutes, Soarin’ at 30 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 13 minutes, Living with the Land at 13 minutes, Spaceship Earth at 12 minutes, Journey into Imagination at 11 minutes, The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 11 minutes, Turtle Talk with Crush at 10 minutes, and Gran Fiesta Tour at 8 minutes.
The theater shows in EPCOT all had zero waits this past week! These included: Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China!
Hollywood Studios
Moving on to Hollywood Studios, Rise of the Resistance had the highest average wait time this week at 146 minutes.
After that, we had Tower of Terror at 119 minutes, Slinky Dog Dash at 92 minutes, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith at 74 minutes, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 63 minutes, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 60 minutes, and Toy Story Mania at 54 minutes.
And finally, we had Alien Swirling Saucers at 35 minutes, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue at 24 minutes, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy at 17 minutes, Muppet*Vision 3D at 10 minutes, Walt Disney Presents at 9 minutes.

Following behind was Kali River Rapids at 14 minutes, Triceratop Spin at 13 minutes, It’s Tough to Be a Bug at 10 minutes, The Boneyard at 0 minutes, and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail at 0 minutes.

Not to bad…that means there were about 34 rides whos wait times were 1 hour or less. 😉
I’m assuming that these times are without Genie+.
What were the average wait times with Genie+? So would it have been worth it to have paid for that option?
Also, were these the estimated wait times or actual?
Once again this is no surprise being that they took away the free FastPass system and replaced with the pay to play Genie+ system. Even if you are willing to pay the extra cost , there still are long gaps in between reserved ride times, making the stand-by line even longer resulting in longer wait times along with those who didn’t buy Genie+.
