Walt Disney World hits capacity thresholds during spring break

Walt Disney World has experienced intense crowds over the past two weeks, with average wait times for major attractions exceeding 90 minutes in some cases. Reports indicate the resort is operating near its internal capacity limits due to spring break demand and ride refurbishments. Guests face longer lines and limited options across all parks.

Visitors to Walt Disney World report relentless crowds tightening walkways and eliminating Lightning Lane return times early in the day. According to data from AllEars for last week, EPCOT's Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind averaged 99 minutes, while Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios reached 90 minutes. Five EPCOT attractions, including Frozen Ever After, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, and Soarin', averaged over an hour each.
