Average wait times by month

What the parks actually averaged, month by month, from this site's own archive.

Month-by-month comparison is not published yet. A monthly average is only worth printing once there is more than one month to compare, and each needs enough days behind it. The archive currently covers 1 month with 12 days of readings, so a "September average" here would really mean "these 12 days". This section fills itself in as the archive grows — no estimate stands in for it in the meantime.

Common questions

What is the average wait time at Disney World by month?

Averages by month are published here once the archive holds at least 20 days in two or more months. It currently covers 1 month, so the per-park figures below describe that period rather than a typical year.

Where do these numbers come from?

This site's own archive: 305,600 standby readings collected continuously since Tue, Sep 1. Nothing is modelled or estimated.

Which months are busiest at Orlando parks?

Historically the peaks are the winter holidays, spring break and mid-summer, with the quietest stretches in late January, early February and September. This page will show that from measured data rather than received wisdom once a full year is recorded.
