The Average Wait Times in Disney World Have Seriously DROPPED This Week!
The holiday season has wound down in Disney World, but that doesn’t mean there’s any less excitement. This week kicked off the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
Festival of the Arts Map
As guests flock to Disney World to visit the festival along with other iconic attractions. And we’re taking a look at this week’s average wait times in all four parks!
Magic Kingdom
This week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train continued to have the highest wait time in Magic Kingdom, but it was significantly lower than last week’s average time, decreasing to 56 minutes this week.

Even the wait times for some of Magic Kingdom’s most popular attractions decreased substantially this week. Space Mountain had an average wait time of 34 minutes, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad averaged 40 minutes.

And similar to last week, there were a handful of attractions with zero minute wait times, including Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, Hall of Presidents, and Enchanted Tiki Room.

Generally speaking, the wait times in Magic Kingdom have decreased over the last week! This trend makes sense, as we move away from the holiday season.

EPCOT
Frozen Ever After and Test Track have both previously held the spot for the ride with the longest average wait time in Disney World, however, that is not the case this week! Although, Test Track does have the longest wait in EPCOT at 55 minutes, with Frozen Ever After trailing closely behind at 54 minutes.

Downward trends continue in EPCOT as average weight times decrease from last week. The next highest average wait times come from Mission: SPACE at 29 minutes and Soarin‘ with a 32-minute wait. Also in the Land Pavilion, we have Living with the Land at 11 minutes.

The rest of EPCOT saw really short wait times, including Spaceship Earth at 16 minutes, Journey Into Imagination with Figment at 12 minutes, Gran Fiesta Tour at 10 minutes, and the Seas with Nemo & Friends at 9 minutes.

Just like last week, all of the films in EPCOT had a zero minute wait, which includes Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Awesome Planet, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China. American Adventure also had no wait!

These wait times aren’t entirely surprising! Although Festival of the Arts draws many guests to EPCOT, they have LOTS to focus on besides the rides!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
This week’s longest average wait times come from Hollywood Studios! This week’s leader is Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway with an average wait time of 58 minutes, with Slinky Dog Dash following closely behind at 57 minutes! Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway also came in first this week for most gorgeous sunset.

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy saw a decreased average wait time of 18 minutes.

Keep in mind that Rise of the Resistance is not included in these numbers due to its virtual queue.
