Through the year2015–2021 history

Average posted wait by month from 2015–2021 records. Waits ran higher before the current Lightning Lane system, so read this for the seasonal shape — which months are busiest — not for today’s numbers; the hourly table above is current.

Posted vs real wait

Disney’s posted waits run high. For Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, a posted 60 minutes at 2pm has typically meant about 47 minutes in line, and at 8pm about 32 (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.
