Best time to ride

Quietest: around 9am (typically ~15 min posted). Busiest: around 9am (~15 min). In the first 15 minutes after the park opens it typically posts ~15 min.

Typical means the median posted wait across every day in our log at that hour; crowd level, weather and breakdowns move it. For a specific date, the planner adjusts for that day’s forecast crowd.

Posted vs real wait

Disney’s posted waits run high. For Turtle Talk With Crush, a posted 60 minutes at 2pm has typically meant about 44 minutes in line, and at 8pm about 36 (from timed waits people recorded, 2015–2021 — before today’s Lightning Lane system, so treat it as an estimate). DisneyIQ shows both numbers on the live board.

Did you know?

Crush is animated live, so his conversations with the audience are different every show.
