Thanksgiving Week Sends Disney World Wait Times Surging as Top Rides Average 80–90 Minutes

New seven-day averages show the sharpest week-over-week jumps yet heading into December.

Overview

  • MickeyBlog reports overall attraction waits increased by more than 10 minutes on average during the holiday week.
  • Weekly averages reached Test Track at 90 minutes and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at 82, with Slinky Dog Dash at 84, Avatar Flight of Passage at 81, and Rise of the Resistance at 70.
  • Park-level figures cited by MickeyBlog were 49 minutes per attraction at Hollywood Studios, 45 at Animal Kingdom, 39 at EPCOT, and 29 at Magic Kingdom.
  • AllEars and Disney by Mark recorded lower averages the prior week, including Test Track at 76 and Cosmic Rewind at 72, highlighting the rapid Thanksgiving spike.
  • Despite longer lines at headliners, many shows and smaller attractions saw minimal or no waits, and MickeyBlog notes much of EPCOT’s data preceded the Festival of the Holidays kickoff.
