Quietest: around 8am (typically ~5 min posted). Busiest: around 10am (~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 Tomorrowland Speedway, 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.
