The intersection of three holidays in the past few days has created an extra busy weekend for Walt Disney World. Valentine’s Day fell on Saturday, February 14; followed by Presidents’ Day on Monday, February 18; and Mardi Gras on Tuesday, February 17. Many get Presidents’ Day off, and there are Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras offerings across the resort.
Disney World Wait Times
At about 3 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure had a 95-minute wait, one of its longest in recent chilly weeks. Slinky Dog Dash was at 100 minutes, Test Track at 115, and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at 130. Space Mountain was unfortunately down at the time, which may be why some other Magic Kingdom rides had longer waites.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was at 95 minutes while TRON Lightcycle Run was 90 minutes. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios were both at 95-minute waits. It’s no surprise Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is busy considering it will soon close for a Muppets reimagining very soon.
Other heigh wait times include 80 minutes for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and 85 minutes for Avatar Flight of Passage and Jungle Cruise.
Though these wait times might seem par for the course for guests who usually visit during the busy summer season or over winter holidays, they are unusual for mid February. Wait times may get lower in the next week, but we’re approaching Spring Break season when waits will inevitably sky rocket.
