The 2020 Ride and Show Rating Post
Every year, starting this year, we will post our highly coveted Ride and Show Ratings.
How it works
We will put, sorted from going left around each park, and list of all the rides, and how long we’d wait for them. Except EPCOT, because all passholders know you start in Canada in EPCOT, and that’s right.
Wait times will include our “maximum” wait time for repeat riders, and our “maximum” wait time for first time riders (FTR). Obviously you wait for what you want to do. We should really stress these are in no way average wait times. These are times that we usually judge the ride to be worth. If you are in the park on a slow day, like the middle of the week, you will find these times normal. However, on busy days, wait times may never be this low.
Character meet and greets are not included because the recommended wait times for those depend on your families wants and needs. We do recommend planning to wait at least 30 minutes for meet and greets, or to use your fastpasses for them.
