This week will be a BIG one at Magic Kingdom. Previously, we shared that Park Reservations are unavailable for several days. Tonight is the grand return of the beloved nighttime show, Happily Ever After.

Tomorrow, guests anticipate the official opening of TRON at the Magic Kingdom. This all comes after the conclusion of the 50th Anniversary celebrations at Walt Disney World last Friday. Many guests are still enjoying their spring break at Walt Disney World which brings higher crowds.

Earlier we shared that Genie+ sold out for today at the earliest time ever. Be sure to check out details and how to avoid Disney Genie+ selling out HERE.

The real question is what do the wait times look like when Magic Kingdom is at capacity and Disney Genie+ is sold out? Wait times are quite staggering with 7 rides at an over 2-hour wait. That’s right over 2 hours!

Currently, at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Navi River Journey and Avatar Flight of Passage are over 2 hours. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Slinky Dog Dash, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run have a longer than 2-hour wait.

Guests at EPCOT will be waiting for two hours or more at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Soarin’ Around the World. Surprisingly even though Magic Kingdom is at capacity, the wait times do not exceed 2 hours.

There are a total of 14 attractions that boast a 90-minute wait or longer. These of course include the before-mentioned attractions and the following Toy Story Mania, Frozen Ever After, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Test Track, Kali River Rapids, and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.

Today there are a total of 14 attractions that boast a 90-minute wait or longer.

These wait times are quite high and will affect Lightning Lane availability for those guests that have purchased Disney Genie+. See if the high price of Genie+ is worth it with high wait times HERE.
