Rope drop plan
For minimal waits at rope drop, consider Tiana's Bayou Adventure or Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, both typically seeing just a 5-minute wait at opening. This could save you 46 and 35 minutes respectively compared to their typical peak waits. Haunted Mansion also offers a good early start with a typical 22-minute wait, saving 31 minutes. All three of these attractions are also available via Multi Pass, so you may not need to rope drop them.
Shows and timing
Catch Mickey's House and Meet Mickey Mouse right at park opening at 8:00 AM, or enjoy The Bootstrappers starting at 8:30 AM. Later in the morning, Bluey's Best Day Ever! and Jambalaya Jazz both have their first performances at 11:00 AM. Storytelling at Royal Theatre begins at 10:15 AM.
Plan your day
- Start your day with Tiana's Bayou Adventure or Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin right at 8:00 AM for the shortest waits, though remember they are also available via Multi Pass.
- Plan for higher crowds and longer waits between 4 PM and 7 PM, which is typically the busiest stretch. Headliner attractions like Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure usually see their longest waits during this time. Yesterday, Haunted Mansion peaked at 100 minutes and Space Mountain at 80 minutes.
- Take advantage of the many indoor shows to stay dry during today's light rain. Mickey's House and Meet Mickey Mouse is available from 8:00 AM, and Storytelling at Royal Theatre begins at 10:15 AM.
- Please note that "it's a small world" is closed today through at least December 12, 2026.
