Long summer lines returned to Disney World last week

Long summer lines returned to Disney World last week

Every week, we bring you the average wait times at each Disney World park so you can prepare for your next trip to Orlando! This past week, an interesting trend has developed that we have to talk about.

Hollywood Studios

Disney World had a bit of a weird week, wait times-wise. Most wait times were generally up across the resort, especially at EPCOT, but the Magic Kingdom had some weird fluctuations. Is this an effect of the new Multiple passage on the lighting track system? Maybe.

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

Magic Kingdom park had a weird week overall when it came to wait times, perhaps best illustrated by the fact that the wait for Dumbo nearly doubled, while the wait for the Enchanted Tiki Room was cut nearly in half.
