How to read this.
Waits are the walk-up waitlist times Disney's app posted for Nomad Lounge (May 7, 2026 to October 16, 2026), averaged per day and hour in park time.
They only count when the walk-up list was open, so a short average can still mean the list was often closed.
Hours with fewer than 5 days of data are left out. Mobile Order times are not walk-up waits and are not included.
