There’s no way to sugarcoat it — it’s been very busy in Disney World lately.
AH!
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!

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+.
