How I work out queue times

Here’s how I calculate these figures, from the times displayed by Disney.

What I record
  • I record the displayed queue time every 5 minutes, since June 2026.
  • This is the queue time announced by Disney, not the time you actually spend queuing.
  • I only count public opening hours.
What I leave out
  • A ride that is closed or broken down is never counted.
  • I don’t rank stations and trains, walk-through attractions, play areas and the shooting gallery.
  • Rides and days with too few readings are not ranked.

Saving time

How much time Extra Magic Time, Single Rider and Premier Access save you, then when the virtual queues fill up.

Both parks, from 28 September to 27 October 2026

Time saved at a glance

  • 61%less waiting during Extra Magic Time
  • 48%less waiting with Single Rider
  • 14days out of 29 when Premier Access One was no longer on sale 1 hr 30 min before closing
  • 53%of virtual queues for character meets full within 5 minutes

Fast track, Single Rider and Extra Magic Time in detail

I recommend comparing these options before your trip, so you know which one will really save you time.

How much time does Extra Magic Time save you?

Same ride, same day: during Extra Magic Time and for the rest of the day.

During Extra Magic Time, the wait is 61% shorter. The smallest saving: Main Street Vehicles (2%).

  1. During Extra Magic Time12 min
  2. The rest of the day30 min

Everything you need to know about Extra Magic Time.

How much time does Single Rider save you?

The Single Rider queue and the standard queue compared at the same moment, during public opening hours. The figure may differ from my Single Rider article.

Single Rider cuts your wait by 48% compared with the standard queue.

  1. Single Rider queue21 min
  2. Standard queue41 min

Everything you need to know about Single Rider.

What time does Premier Access stop being sold?

Days when Premier Access One was no longer on sale more than 1 hr 30 min before closing.

Premier Access was no longer on sale 1 hr 30 min before closing on 14 days out of 29.

How to book the virtual queues for character meets.

Single Rider, ride by ride

Time saved with Single Rider: the 3 biggest savings, then the 2 smallest.

Ratatouille : L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy had the biggest saving with Single Rider.

  1. Ratatouille : L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de RémyDisney Adventure World18 min instead of 53 min66% less
  2. Toy Soldiers Parachute DropDisney Adventure World15 min instead of 42 min63% less

  4. Avengers Assemble: Flight ForceDisney Adventure World19 min instead of 26 min30% less
  5. RC RacerDisney Adventure World31 min instead of 39 min21% less

How I measure time saved

Here’s how I measure the time saved, from the times displayed by Disney.

What I compare
  • I only count public opening hours.
  • Extra Magic Time: I compare each ride with the rest of the day.
  • Single Rider: I compare the 2 queues at the same moment.
  • The figures in my Single Rider and Extra Magic Time articles may differ.
Premier Access One
  • I count the days when it is no longer on sale 1 hr 30 min before closing time.
  • If the ride often stops after that, the day doesn’t count.

Ride breakdowns

The uptime and breakdowns of each ride. I count as a breakdown any unplanned stop during public opening hours. Disney doesn’t give the cause.

Both parks, from 28 September to 27 October 2026

Breakdowns at a glance

  • 97%of opening hours when the rides were running
  • 25 minthe usual length of a breakdown
  • 56%of breakdowns lasted less than 30 minutes
  • 99.7%of opening hours: Dumbo the Flying Elephant, the most reliable ride

Breakdown statistics in detail

Disney doesn’t publish any figures on breakdowns, so I’d suggest checking how reliable your favourite rides are here before your visit.

Which rides are the most reliable?

Dumbo the Flying Elephant was the most reliable ride.

How long does a breakdown last?

Every breakdown in the period, grouped by how long it lasted.

Most breakdowns lasted less than 30 minutes: 268 out of 479.

  1. 5 min75 breakdowns
  2. 10 to 15 min100 breakdowns
  3. 20 to 25 min93 breakdowns
  4. 30 to 55 min123 breakdowns
  5. 1 hr to 1 hr 55 min67 breakdowns
  6. 2 hr to 5 hr 55 min18 breakdowns
  7. 6 hr or more3 breakdowns

Planned closures are in my refurbishment calendar.

How I count breakdowns

Here’s how I count breakdowns, from the status displayed by Disney every 5 minutes.

What I record
  • I record the status of each ride every 5 minutes.
  • I count every unplanned stop during public opening hours, even one of 5 minutes.
  • In the morning, a late opening only counts as a breakdown after 30 minutes.
What I leave out
  • A ride displayed as closed is never counted as broken down.
  • Only days with full readings and no construction work count.
  • A ride open fewer than 8 days out of 10 is not ranked.

Attendance, year by year

Attendance at each park, year by year, according to the TEA, and the average queue time month by month, based on my data.

Both parks: attendance from 2006 to 2025, queue time from July to September 2026

Attendance at a glance

  • 16.7 millionvisits in 2025 across the 2 parks, according to TEA
  • 6%more visits than in 2024

  • 27 minaverage wait in July 2026, the month with the shortest waits out of the 3 months measured

Here’s where these figures come from.

Attendance
  • These are estimates from the TEA, the international Themed Entertainment Association.
  • A visitor to both parks on the same day counts twice.
Queue times month by month
  • I take the average of the times displayed during public opening hours.
  • I only keep months that are over and have full readings.
