Disney World rides are some of the most immersive out there — they instantly transport you out of reality!
Whether that’s because you’re busy fighting Kylo Ren on Rise of the Resistance or jumping into a cartoon on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, there are so many stories you can explore through attractions. This applies to roller coasters too — there’s a reason why they all almost always have a long wait! However, this week, one coaster saw a jump in wait times that caught our eye and we had to let you know about it.
A popular ride in EPCOT is going to be temporarily CLOSED this week!

EPCOT
Luckily that closure is only expected to last for a single day. However, there are currently a few other closures in Disney World that are lasting much longer than a day. Let’s check out all the temporary closures in Disney World for the week of October 8th through the 14th.
It’s been another week full of Disney news!
Disney released a ton of information about EPCOT Festival of the Holidays including the food booths, the entertainment, celebrity narrators for the Candelight Processional, dining packages, the return of the cookie stroll, and more. Also Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana has soft opened as well as the Moana meet and greet! Even though the Disney news has been busy, the parks seem to have calmed down when it comes to wait times.
There are a LOT of attractions and rides in Disney World, but a few of those are unfortunately CLOSED right now.

For some attractions, Disney hasn’t given any hints at all about when they might reopen. Let’s check out all the temporary closures — including those four attraction closures — in Disney World for the week of October 1st through the 7th.
Not all rides are built the same — some are much harder to get on than others.
Whether that’s because the ride has a Virtual Queue (we’re looking at you, TRON Lightcycle / Run) or it has one of the longest lines in the park, there’s a reason that we warn you about attractions like Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog Dash. But there’s been a huge update involving an EPCOT ride and it has certainly impacted the wait times!
There are TONS of restaurants in Disney World, but a few of those spots are unfortunately CLOSED right now.

For two restaurants, Disney hasn’t given any hints at all about when they might reopen.
When you think of rides that everyone is obsessed with in Disney World, what do you pick?
You may be thinking about Rise of the Resistance, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, or a classic like Jungle Cruise. But when you look at the wait times, there’s a clear frontrunner as the most popular ride in Disney World almost every time — Flight of Passage!
