It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year At Walt Disney World — Unless You Don’t Have Every Minute Already Planned To A T

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year At Walt Disney World -- Unless You Don't Have Every Minute Already Planned To A T

As someone who has traversed the magical realms of Disney World during various seasons, I can confidently say that the holiday season takes the cake (or should I say Mickey-shaped cookie?). The enchanting transformation of the parks into a Winter Wonderland is truly a sight to behold, even if Orlando isn’t traditionally associated with snowflakes and sleigh bells.

There is never a bad time to visit a theme park, but the holiday season is almost certainly the best time. Christmas at Walt Disney World is an especially beautiful experience. While Orlando may not be the place you expect to visit for a Winter Wonderland, it really is quite nice.

Indeed, currently, a visit to Walt Disney World might not offer as much enjoyment as usual due to high demand, which means you may encounter large crowds during your upcoming trip. To ensure a smoother experience, be prepared to navigate through the crowds or consider paying for options that help reduce wait times.

It’s Very Busy At Disney World For The Holidays

Taking a peek at the Disney World app suggests that you’ll need a well-thought-out strategy for entering the theme parks over the coming fortnight. Although wait times might not be significantly higher compared to this period in past years, it is one of those times when wait times are generally longer due to more people having time off work and school, making theme parks an attractive destination.

Mickey visited Tron: Lightcycle Run earlier today and clocked in over 100 minutes, longer than usual for this ride. It’s worth noting that this is the first holiday season since the addition of a standby line for Tron, a coaster that typically has long wait times. Meanwhile, Avatar: Flight of Passage, known for its long lines at Disney World, currently has a wait time nearing three hours.

Planning, And Paying, In Advance Can Solve Some Line Problems

Although you won’t always manage to bypass queues at Disney World entirely, there are strategies to lessen the problem somewhat. These strategies often require additional spending on one of the various Lightning Lane packages. With the Lightning Lane Multi-Pass, which covers most rides across the four Disney World parks, you can bypass numerous lines.

Besides spending money, effectively organizing your daily schedule is crucial for Disney World guests. They can reserve some Lightning Lanes a week prior to their visit, which implies making important decisions about where to go and what activities to engage in well ahead of time. Additionally, staying attentive to the app while inside the park is necessary to book extra ride return times during the day. Although I believe the Lightning Lane Multi-Pass can be beneficial at Disneyland, we’ve found it less advantageous at Disney World.

Additionally, there’s the recently introduced Lightning Lane Premier Pass, providing guests the convenience of bypassing queues without the need for extensive planning. However, this pass comes at a higher cost compared to other Lightning Lane alternatives, and access is restricted. Interestingly, on certain days over the following fortnight, the Premier Pass has already been sold out in specific parks, indicating that it’s not always available even with its premium price tag.
