Seven Dwarfs Mine Train wait times

What it is

A family roller coaster through the dwarfs' diamond mine. The mine cars rock from side to side on the curves, and the middle of the ride slows through the mine past the singing dwarfs.

Thrill level: ●●●●● Moderate (3/5) · drops · must be 38 in (97 cm) or taller

Opened: 28 May 2014 (12 years ago)

Best time to ride

Quietest: around 10pm (typically ~30 min posted). Busiest: around 12pm (~50 min). In the first 15 minutes after the park opens it typically posts ~45 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.

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 Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, a posted 60 minutes at 2pm has typically meant about 50 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.
