Frequently asked questions

How busy is Magic Kingdom today?

Our crowd calendar rates today as moderate. The park is averaging 22 minutes across open rides right now, and this page refreshes every few minutes.

What time does Magic Kingdom open today?

Today the park is open from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM local park time. Arriving before opening is the single best way to beat the queues.

Are these wait times accurate?

The posted times come from the park's own boards via queue-times.com and refresh every few minutes. Real queues usually move faster than posted: we compared over 139,000 measured waits with the boards, and most rides run at roughly 70% of the posted time, which is what our "typically" range shows.
