Disney4me Posted September 16, 2023 Report Posted September 16, 2023 We have to warn you about something in Disney World. Magic Kingdom There are so many aspects that go into planning a trip — the hotel, the travel, the tickets, the dining reservations, and MORE. So it is our duty to let you know about what’s going on with Disney World wait times right now! Average wait times are on the rise in most parks, but if you’re headed to Magic Kingdom soon, we have good news. Wait times are relatively low and averages went DOWN at many popular rides this week! Cinderella Castle We’ve noticed on days that the parks close early for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, wait times have been pretty low throughout the day. Although it is not the best idea if you have a 1-park per day ticket, you might want to go to Magic Kingdom on one of these days if you are able to park hop when it closes. Happy Halloween Season! It is the only park to have every ride with an average under 60 minutes this week, which is uncommon! Take a look at all of the average wait times from the past week below. Magic Kingdom Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time of 55 minutes.
