The Magic Carpets of Aladdin wait times

What it is

A Dumbo-style spinner in Adventureland: your magic carpet circles a giant genie lamp, and you control how high it flies. Watch out for the camels that spit water.

Thrill level: ●●●●● Gentle (1/5) · spinning · you may get wet · no height requirement

Opened: May 2001 (25 years ago)

Best time to ride

Quietest: around 8am (typically ~5 min posted). Busiest: around 11am (~15 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 The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, 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?

The camels around the ride really do spit water at passing carpets.
