On top of all that, attendance has surged by millions of guests per year, and pretty much every single day of 2022 is significantly more crowded than 2012. It’s also incomparable to previous years that don’t have the same dynamics going on. It’s also one (of multiple) reasons why this September cannot be easily compared even to months during this spring break or summer when it comes to “feels like” crowds or congestion. This all impacts crowds, or the perception thereof, and how they diverge from wait times. There was also a lot of inclimate weather last month, and not just Hurricane Ian. It’s also Food & Wine, several attractions have been having downtime woes, staffing remains an issue, and it’s party season at Magic Kingdom. It’s no longer the primary tourist season, and a disproportionate number of locals or DVC members means more guests who place less emphasis on rides.

(On the plus side, there’s usually consistency with this.)Īll of those are significant variables right now. They’re often inflated, or otherwise inaccurate. And that’s just a partial list! Beyond that, wait times can be manipulated by Walt Disney World. There are several other variables that can impact “feels like” crowds, from festivals at EPCOT to weather to guest demographics to ride breakdowns to operational efficiency to time of day or day of the week. However, wait times are not conclusive of attendance or in-park congestion. In any case, the wait time data is the wait time data. That’s worth checking out if you’re a data junky, as you can create custom graphs, track wait times, etc–there are some really powerful and interesting tools. These numbers are scraped from My Disney Experience constantly by and compiled into graphs and all sorts of interesting charts on their website. I want to start by addressing that, as this has been a growing complaint, especially among longtime visitors to Walt Disney World.Īs a threshold matter, what’s covered in these “crowd” reports is actually posted wait time data. Many readers and commenters on social media who had been in the parks, especially that third week, took issue with those assessments. Not even the winter months of January or February could hold a candle to wait times during the first three weeks of September 2022. In the third week of September, the numbers increased quite a bit over those low-lows, but the wait times data still good enough for the #3 least-busy week of 2022.
Going back even further, those were the best numbers we’ve seen since the beginning of October last year. With identical averages, those two weeks are tied for #1 as the best of 2022 thus far. Our last crowd report was Least Busy 3 Weeks of 2022 at Walt Disney World!As covered there, the first two weeks of September 2022 were 1/10 on the crowd calendar, across the entirety of Walt Disney World. This wait times report covers data for the last month at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, plus predictions of what to expect for the rest of this month and November 2022. October 2022 is now underway, and the slow September at Walt Disney World appears to be in the rearview mirror.
