No Matter How Many New Rides Disney Opens, THIS One Is Still The Most Popular

[Charlie]

Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!


Animal Kingdom


Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable, and that’s especially true during the summer season. As we approach the Fourth of July, one of the most popular holidays people choose to travel for, we know it’s likely important you know exactly how long you may be waiting in line. Let’s just say, even though the holiday is right on top of us, wait times have not been what we expected this week.

We’re seeing that the average wait time for most attractions, including some of Disney’s most popular, aren’t high at all. They usually sit just around an hour, and while that’s certainly not no time at all to wait, and it does add up, it begs the question — do you really need Lightning Lane in Disney World right now, especially if you’re on a longer trip?
