Since Memorial Day weekend 2025, Walt Disney World has seen consistent crowd levels across its four theme parks, with wait time patterns starting to take shape as the summer season moves forward. Daily wait times collected between May 26 and June 18 show which attractions are drawing the longest lines and how crowd distribution is playing out across the resort.
Parks Overview
- Magic Kingdom saw a sharp spike in wait times on Memorial Day, then quickly leveled off. Average waits dropped by nearly 40% the day after the holiday.
- Hollywood Studios gradually increased in crowd levels into early June, likely boosted by the draw of popular thrill rides and returning summer vacationers.
- Animal Kingdom has maintained some of the highest daily average wait times, anchored by long lines for Avatar Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey.
- EPCOT posted the most stable numbers, with only moderate fluctuations in wait times throughout the period.
Longest Wait Times by Attraction
Median wait times show these attractions consistently topping the list:
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – 75 minutes
- Slinky Dog Dash – 70 minutes
- TRON Lightcycle / Run – 65 minutes
- Avatar Flight of Passage – 60 minutes
- A group of attractions including Rise of the Resistance, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Na’vi River Journey, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train all showed median waits around 50 minutes
Other consistently crowded attractions include Frozen Ever After, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and Peter Pan’s Flight, each with median waits in the 40–50 minute range.
Early Trends
- Newer attractions (TRON, Cosmic Rewind, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure) continue to pull the heaviest crowds.
- The Memorial Day surge was short-lived, with wait times stabilizing rather than continuing to climb sharply.
- Afternoon peaks remain the norm, but we’re seeing heavier morning traffic at headliners - possibly due to guests trying to beat the heat.
This snapshot sets the baseline for summer. With possible July 4th crowds approaching and international travel increasing as summer holidays begin soon across Europe, expect to see pressure on capacity continue to build in the coming weeks.
