Walt Disney World Wait Times for November Week One 2025

Walt Disney World has switched to Christmas season.

Those of you reading MickeyBlog this past week have seen all the proof.

Our staff has attended both of Disney World’s Christmas parties.

Along those lines, our ace reporters have tracked all the holiday decorations at the parks.

Ordinarily, I joke that it’s beginning to look like Christmas, but that’s not even true.

When you visit Disney World, it IS Christmas right now, no matter what the calendar says.

So, how were the crowds at the parks? Did people rush to see the new decorations?

Here are Walt Disney World’s wait times for the first week of November 2025.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

All theme parks have already added decorations, including Animal Kingdom.

This place is sneakily one of the best spots to relish the holiday season at Disney World.

Alas, the park remains a bit slower than usual due to all the ongoing construction.

With so many attractions and experiences closed now, the crowds have diminished. Of course, that’s great news for anybody visiting Animal Kingdom right now.

Almost all your favorites remain open, but the lines are shorter. It’s win/win for you!

Keeping that in mind, here are Animal Kingdom’s average wait times last week:

• Avatar Flight of Passage – 58 minutes, up 10
• Na’vi River Journey – 48 minutes, up 6
• Adventurers Outpost – 35 minutes, up 3
• Kilimanjaro Safaris – 35 minutes, up 11
• Zootopia: Better Zoogether! – 34 minutes, n/a
• Expedition Everest – 29 minutes, up 1
• DINOSAUR – 25 minutes, up 8

Overall, guests waited in line for an average of 38 minutes per attraction.

That’s six minutes more than last time, albeit a bit misleading.

I haven’t mentioned yet that Animal Kingdom added the new Zootopia show.

We only have a partial week of data for it. I included that data so that you’d know it.

However, it skews the picture a bit compared to the full week of data for the other attractions.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Realistically, Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom aren’t that much different from Animal Kingdom.

All three parks are currently undergoing dramatic expansion as Disney improves its offerings.

For whatever reason, the other parks haven’t had their crowds impacted as much as Animal Kingdom, though.

Right now, it doesn’t really matter anyway, as fans are relishing all the decorations.

Still, Hollywood Studios will close early on the nights it hosts Disney Jollywood Nights.

That behavior does impact the crowds, usually by reducing wait times during the day.

Some guests don’t visit parks because they want to maximize the value of their admission tickets.

Of course, this impact is negligible this week, as only one day included a Jollywood Nights event.

This is something we’ll keep an eye on during the holiday season, though.

Anyway, here are the average wait times at Hollywood Studios last week:

• Slinky Dog Dash – 67 minutes, up 6
• Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – 57 minutes, down 2
• Toy Story Mania! – 53 minutes, up 9
• Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway – 49 minutes, up 7
• Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith – 46 minutes, up 3
• Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – 42 minutes, up 3
• Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – 39 minutes, up 10
• Red Carpet Dreams – 37 minutes, up 3
• Alien Swirling Saucers – 33 minutes, up 8
• Celebrity Spotlight – 19 minutes, up 4
• Star Tours – The Adventures Continue! – 11 minutes, up 2

Overall, Hollywood Studios averaged a wait of 41 minutes, which is five minutes more than last time.

Remembering that the previous week was glacial, we’re trending up significantly.

Then again, that really just means that the parks returned to status quo, presuming the trend holds at the other two parks.

EPCOT

Spaceship Earth at EPCOT

Now, we have the one park that’s not currently undergoing expansion.

Theoretically, EPCOT is the most stable park, which may be why Jason Kelce was so excited about his visit:

Oh, who am I kidding? He was excited about drinking around the World Showcase, just like the rest of us.

The point is that this park should run smoothly for the next 18 months, even as chaos abounds elsewhere.

Here are EPCOT’s average wait times last week:

• Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – 76 minutes, up 15
• Test Track – 76 minutes, up 7
• Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure – 59 minutes, up 9
• Frozen Ever After – 58 minutes, up 11
• Royal Sommerhus – 47 minutes, up 13
• Soarin’ Around the World – 40 minutes, up 14
• Mission: SPACE – 26 minutes, up 4
• Spaceship Earth – 25 minutes, up 5
• Meet Mickey & Friends – 24 minutes, up 5
• The Seas with Nemo & Friends – 24 minutes, up 11
• Living with the Land – 20 minutes, up 6
• Turtle Talk with Crush – 19 minutes, up 1
• Journey into Imagination with Figment – 15 minutes, up 5
• Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros – 12 minutes, up 2

Overall, the average EPCOT attraction included line time of 37 minutes per attraction.

That’s seven minutes more than last time and indicative of VERY good crowds last week.

Magic Kingdom

Finally, here are Magic Kingdom’s average wait times last week:

• TRON Lightcycle / Run – 60 minutes, up 6
• Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – 58 minutes, up 10
• Jingle Cruise – 54 minutes, up 12
• Peter Pan’s Flight – 50 minutes, up 7
• Tiana’s Bayou Adventure – 42 minutes, up 11
• The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh – 39 minutes, up 8
• Haunted Mansion – 37 minutes, up 3
• Space Mountain – 37 minutes, up 7
• Pete’s Silly Sideshow – 36 minutes, up 8
• Princess Fairytale Hall – 35 minutes, up 8
• Ariel’s Grotto – 32 minutes, up 6
• Town Square Theater – 28 minutes, up 4
• Pirates of the Caribbean – 27 minutes, up 7
• Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid – 27 minutes, up 12
• Enchanted Tales with Belle – 24 minutes, up 7
• It’s a Small World – 24 minutes, up 9
• Astro Orbiter – 22 minutes, up 4
• The Barnstormer – 22 minutes, up 7
• The Magic Carpets of Aladdin – 22 minutes, up 5
• Dumbo the Flying Elephant – 21 minutes, up 8
• Walt Disney World Railroad – 19 minutes, down 3
• Mad Tea Party – 16 minutes, up 5
• Tomorrowland Speedway – 16 minutes, up 1
• Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover – 15 minutes, up 3
• Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor – 14 minutes, up 1
• Country Bear Musical Jamboree – 12 minutes, down 1
• Prince Charming Regal Carrousel – 12 minutes, up 3
• Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress – 5 minutes, no change

Final Thoughts        

The data is quite clear here, with virtually every attraction increasing week over week.

At Magic Kingdom, the attractions averaged a wait of 29 minutes per attraction.

That’s six more minutes than last time, and it’s also the average increase at all Disney World parks.

So, the crowds were significantly larger than the previous week.
