A BUSY DAY

If you'd been here on a day like this,
you'd have wished you'd picked a different week.

Jan 29, 2026 came in at a 7/10, the kind of day where Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry can eat two hours of your morning. Crowds dipped to a 6 out of ten for 2 straight hours between 3 PM and 5 PM.

Early entry or bust

On a busy day, missing rope-drop means a brutal wait for Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry all morning.

11 AM to 1 PM
Treat lunch as a ride

You'll queue for food too. Use that time on a sit-down with a reservation.

3 PM to 5 PM
There is no afternoon dip

Waits hold steady through close. Live wait alerts earn their keep here.

8 PM to 10 PM
The last 90 minutes is the only window

Headliners finally ease late. Skip dinner, stay late, eat after.

Every ride, by land.
