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!


Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios


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 January marched on?



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

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. Most notably, the wait with one of the highest averages is likely not one you’re expecting — Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run! There are very few average waits over an hour, which is incredible. As January comes to an end, is this one of the best times to visit the parks? It just might be — but we’ll let you decide!
