We’ve been talking nonstop about Thanksgiving travel news and tips, so we’re hitting up Disney World to see what it’s like to spend a day at the parks on a big holiday. Here’s a look at what we encountered today at the most magical place on earth.
Are you ready for a LOT of change in Disney World?
We know, we know, change is scary, but it’s really all part of Walt Disney’s visions for the parks. Well, 2025 is going to be a massive year of change for Disney World as we get ready to add entire new lands to three parks, get a brand new version of a current ride in EPCOT, get new entertainment (as in new shows AND a new parade) and more. However, there are still things we’re dreading about Disney World in 2025.

Disney World’s average wait times took an overall dip this week, with even the resort’s busiest rides coming in at relatively short times, comparatively speaking anyway.
Now, you know how we go to Disney World every day, right? Well, even though we go so often, there are still things that surprise us.

We’re not talking about new treats, or unexpected experiences we might encounter while at the parks. What we are talking about is the crowds, or rather, the specific lack there of on this one random week. We’re not complaining about it. On the contrary, we love it, so let’s talk about why this week might be the sweet spot for your next trip, plus what you need to know before you pack your ears and head out.

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.
We are tuned into Disney’s fourth-quarter earnings call!
Animal Kingdom
Disney released their fourth-quarter earnings report this morning, followed by an earnings call to discuss the report. We are bringing you all the latest news and we may have just got a HUGE hint on when Disney World will be crowded next year.
WHAT is going on with the crowds in Disney World?
Entrance to EPCOT
During the Q3 earnings call in August of 2024, Disney revealed that demand for its domestic parks had been “flat.” (CEO Bob Iger had actually predicted that attendance would go down.) One Disney executive explained that higher-income consumers are traveling internationally more, while lower-income consumers are feeling a little bit of stress. Disney also warned that there could be a continuation of those trends in terms of the “top line.” So just what’s happening with the crowds now? Has demand gone up or down since we last heard from Disney? We’ve got an update.

It is no secret that Disney World can get crowded, which can sometimes result in longer wait times for rides and attractions.
Crowds in Magic Kingdom
While it may seem like every season is busy season at Disney World, we tend to see higher crowd levels around school breaks like spring break, summer break, and the upcoming holiday breaks. While the influx of crowds can make ride wait times longer than average, you may be surprised to find out that sometimes the longest lines in the park are not for a ride.
