Increased Wait Times

One thing you’ll have to be prepared to do in Walt Disney World: wait. Even with the use of Lightning Lanes, sometimes attractions can see longer than normal waits for varying reasons.

If you’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, its most popular thrill attraction is operating with limited capacity. Be prepared for a long wait! Earlier this week, we reported a guest favorite attraction also operated at reduced capacity HERE.

There are lines for everything at Disney World! You’ll wait for transportation, you’ll wait to pick up your food, and you’ll wait to experience attractions! Disney recently implemented the Lightning Lanes, which has taken the place of the former Fastpass+ system. When Guests purchase Genie+ for $15 per day, they’ll have access to Lightning Lanes, which will allow them to skip the standby line when experiencing their favorite attractions.

Still, there are continued technical glitches with this system. And, if rides partially or fully shut down, wait times increase for available rides.

Cast Members are announcing that Avatar Flight of Passage is operating at reduced capacity today, January 21. As a result, Cast Members share that guests wait will be longer than expected. We’re not sure what is causing the limited capacity. Perhaps a theater is not working?

Avatar Flight of Passage is operating at reduced capacity. As a result, Cast Members share that guests wait will be longer than expected.

Since Flight of Passage is the most popular attraction in Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, expect guests to flock to other attractions seeking rides with less wait time. Hopefully this will not spill over to all rides having increased wait times.

I think the magic is gone. Everything is a problem. The last time I was there( October 2021) rides were breaking down when we were almost ready to go on. It happened at Space Mountain, the Mine train and anther I don’t even remember. Three hours wasted waiting on line that we did not enjoyed. The waits are higher because of the lack of characters around the park which people use to make lines to take pictures with them. Seeing Disney characters around, thats what makes Disney magical and different from other parks. Very disappointing experience. That said, we are returning in April 2022 to take our 4 year old grand child. Hope there are more characters around and really wishing for the boutique where kids can be dressed as princesses. Please bring back the magic.
