The Longest Line In Disney World Today Isn't Where You Think!

If you’re in Disney World right now and planning to head to Disney Springs to start your morning, we need to issue a MAJOR warning.

Talk about a line!

Friday evenings and weekends are usually the busiest in Disney Springs, as that’s when many locals head into the shopping and dining district to do some shopping and/or dine at their favorite spots. This morning, though? Something is happening that’s likely to affect practically everyone heading into the area. It’s causing a TON of traffic and chaos, so beware.

Before we get into the details, you need to know about Lorcana. Lorcana is a VERY popular game that involves trading cards that are based off of Disney properties. If you love to play TCG-style games, or just want to collect the gorgeous cards, it’s fun for everyone to play. It’s grown in popularity over the years, and is so well-known now that when Disney had Lorcana cards as part of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts earlier this year, they were QUICK to go, considering they were free.

Today, July 17th, the newest set pre-releases, which is called Attack of the Vine. It’ll be everywhere in a week, on July 24th, but the pre-release is a BIG deal. As part of the pre-release, there are special pre-release boxes available, which help you get the most out of the experience, as they also contain an exclusive poster and promo card.

The crowds for this release in Disney Springs are WILD. One of our reporters’ sons got in line this morning at Disney Springs around 6:10 AM, and the line of cars to get into Lime Garage was so incredibly backed up that police officers were attempting to get people to leave the line, to no avail. It’s also been reported that the Oxford Street Disney Store in London, England, had to close the store temporarily and stop the release due to the crowds.

We spoke to some of the guests who successfully purchased the new collection, who informed us that people are being limited to buying just one box per person. They also let us know just how brutal it was early this morning — there was a lot of arguing, pushing, shoving, cutting in line, and other unsavory behavior. Even around 9 AM when we were there, we’ve never seen so many Cast Members, police, and security in one place. We also saw Reedy Creek come in with flashing lights twice with ambulances and paramedics. In other words, it’s chaos.

It just keeps going!

If you’re planning to head into Disney Springs today, especially this morning, it’s important to know about these crowds and plan accordingly. It may be better to take Disney World transportation instead of your own car, or a rideshare, as parking may very well be hard to find. We also recommend allowing more time for any dining reservations you may have this morning into the early afternoon. As of 10 AM, the line had grown so much that the end of it was over by the bridge near Paddlefish. — we even started to see people DoorDashing food TO the line!

Finding parking is about to be hard
