RopeDrop Disney Wait Index: April 2026
In April 2026, Tokyo DisneySea had the longest average posted standby wait of the 12 Disney parks we track, 36 minutes, and Tokyo Disneyland the shortest, 20 minutes.
The index is each park's average posted standby wait across every attraction we logged that month, weighted by readings (we log every 5 minutes), from the RopeDrop wait-time log. Days are park-local. Posted waits are the times the parks display, which often run longer than the real wait.
