Walt Disney World Wait Times for Second Week of April 2025

When we last discussed Walt Disney World crowds, attendance had apparently slipped a bit at the parks.

That wasn’t unexpected, as the Spring Break crowds had come and gone.

Of course, Disney crowd levels can change in the blink of an eye. And that’s the case this week.

If you haven’t glanced at a calendar, Easter Sunday falls on April 20^th.

Generally, this holiday causes crowds to surge at Walt Disney World, and it sometimes even happens a few days early.

Did that happen this past week? Let’s find out. Here are the Walt Disney World wait times for the second week of April 2025.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

It’s Tough to be a Bug! at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

With It’s Tough to Be a Bug! closed for a month now – sadness, I know – not much is happening at the park.

I mean, yes, construction is happening constantly behind the scenes, but that doesn’t impact the crowds any.

Currently, Animal Kingdom features a small group of E-ticket attractions and several high-quality shows.

We know that more is coming in a couple of years, but this is what we’ll have until DinoLand USA officially closes for good.

So, here are the park’s average wait times last month:

• Avatar Flight of Passage – 79 minutes, up 2
• Na’vi River Journey – 60 minutes, up 6
• Kilimanjaro Safaris – 46 minutes, up 4
• Kali River Rapids – 39 minutes, up 5
• Expedition Everest – 39 minutes, up 6
• Adventurers Outpost – 33 minutes, up 3
• DINOSAUR – 31 minutes, up 8

Overall, Animal Kingdom attractions averaged a wait of 46 minutes, which is four minutes more than last time.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

At Hollywood Studios, fans have almost exactly two more months to enjoy Muppet*Vision 3D.

To date, we haven’t really witnessed a rush to watch the show for the last time.

As proof, the attraction once again averaged a ten-minute wait this past week, the same as last time.

Thus far, we’ve only tracked one brief bump the week after the announcement of its closure.

So, I hate to say it, but I understand where Disney’s coming from on this decision. Tourists are no longer in love with the show.

Now that I’ve bummed you out, here are the park’s average wait times last week:

• Slinky Dog Dash – 76 minutes, up 4
• Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – 72 minutes, up 9
• Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – 61 minutes, up 19
• Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith – 57 minutes, up 8
• Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway – 52 minutes, up 4
• Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – 52 minutes, up 7
• Toy Story Mania! – 44 minutes, up 3
• Alien Swirling Saucers – 36 minutes, up 2
• Red Carpet Dreams – 36 minutes, no change
• Celebrity Spotlight – 18 minutes, up 1
• Star Tours – The Adventures Continue! – 15 minutes, up 2

Overall, guests waited for an average of 39 minutes per attraction, which is three minutes more than last time.

EPCOT

Test Track 3.0 Ride Vehicle Testing

At EPCOT, we recently caught a glimpse of the updated ride carts coming to Test Track 3.0.

Other than that, this park is relatively stable right now as fans continue to enjoy the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.

Test Track

Here are EPCOT’s average wait times last week:

• Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – 75 minutes, up 7
• Frozen Ever After – 59 minutes, down 2
• Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure – 58 minutes, down 1
• Royal Sommerhus – 41 minutes, down 2

Overall, EPCOT attractions averaged a wait of 33 minutes, which is the same as last time.

So, this is the first park that didn’t increase week over week. Still, we’re trending upward at Walt Disney World for the week.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Magic Kingdom attractions required an average wait of 30 minutes, which is two minutes more than last time.

So, three of the four parks experienced increases in their average wait times last week.

I’d argue that the difference wasn’t dramatic, though.

The attraction wait times across Walt Disney World went up by about two minutes each.

That means the parks were a bit more crowded, but we didn’t get an early Easter rush yet. Will that happen next week? Probably.
