Alien Swirling Saucers wait times

What it is

A spinning ride in which toy rockets whip around the Pizza Planet aliens. Gentle, but the corners swing hard.

Thrill level: ●●●●● Mild (2/5) · spinning · must be 32 in (81 cm) or taller

Opened: 30 June 2018 (8 years ago)

Best time to ride

Quietest: around 8am (typically ~5 min posted). Busiest: around 11am (~30 min). In the first 15 minutes after the park opens it typically posts ~5 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 Alien Swirling Saucers, a posted 60 minutes at 2pm has typically meant about 44 minutes in line, and at 8pm about 33 (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.
