How we measure this

SupaPark records the posted standby wait for every Walt Disney World attraction every few minutes and keeps a permanent half-hour archive. For each day we keep only the half-hours inside that park's published operating hours that have at least two open-status readings, average them by hour, then average each hour across days. "Rope drop" is the park's first operating hour that day and "last hour" is the hour before its published close, so the comparison follows the real schedule (including early closes for evening events). Posted waits are what the park displays; actual waits often run shorter — see SupaPark Real Wait (an estimate). Month-by-month posted waits for every ride: posted wait times report. Window: 28 days (Sep 15–Oct 12, 2026).
