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!
Slinky Dog Dash in Toy Story Land
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. So how did Disney’s wait times hold up as 2026 began in earnest and New Year’s Eve?
Take a look at this week’s average wait times for proof! This is everything you need to know about the average wait times in Disney World over the past seven days. There are very few waits over an hour, which is incredible. As January is in full swing, is this one of the best times to visit the parks? It just might be — but we’ll let you decide!
Doesn’t it look so cool?
