Disney World’s average wait times usually fluctuate higher or lower based on how many people are in the parks, and it’s usually an overall sort of deal. We often see wait times increase overall, or lower overall, but in this case, we were surprised at how up and down they were across the board. One park in particular has really jumped up in crowds, and we’re wondering if you can guess why.

You will hear a lot about rope dropping on your Disney trip and how it might be worth it. But, we are here to hold your hand and tell you some hard truths about rope dropping that others might not tell you.

Disney World’s average wait times did see a drop this week from their record Holiday highs. However, drop is a relative term this week, as the resort’s wait times were still WAY above their usual averages.
What does Disney World look like on a sold-out day?!
Cinderella Castle
In early 2024, Disney World got rid of its park pass reservation system for the majority of its guests — those with date-based tickets. However, Annual Passholders and other people with specific tickets still need to make reservations. Park pass reservations can “sell out” on busier days, meaning that those folks will be blocked out from visiting the parks that are “sold out” — and that’s exactly what happened on Monday, January 6th.

Happy New Year!
New Year’s Eve Fireworks
The Holiday season is one of the busiest at Walt Disney World, with events including Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays (including performances of the Candlelight Processional) drawing in huge crowds. Of course, the Holiday season culminates on New Year’s Day! We headed into Magic Kingdom on the first day of 2025 to see what the crowds were looking like.
