Disney World Week of 8/13/23 Recap


This week (8/7 to 8/13/2023), wait times across Walt Disney World were down 3 minutes compared to last week, with an average wait time of 33 minutes (last week was down 4 minutes compared to the previous week, for reference). Out of the past 84 weeks, this week would rank #72. The same week last year ranks #43 with an average wait time of 39 minutes.  Also, kudos to those who braved the extreme heat this week. It was brutal out there even for Florida!

Local Orange County schools (and many other Florida counties) began on Thursday, leading to less local influence on Thursday and Friday last week.

The 1 PM boarding group drop for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was easy most days the past week. You could Park Hop and get it all but 2 days.

The 1 PM boarding group drop for TRON Lightcycle / Run was obtainable at 1 PM, but only lasted to the Park Hop time at 2 PM twice.

At the park, the separately ticketed event, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, commonly called MNSSHP, also began Friday. TRON was still using a Virtual Queue for the event, and boarding groups lasted mere seconds at 6 PM. With controlled crowds and no Genie+, lines are still shorter than the regular day.
