The wait sits near 50 minutes in the first hour, holds around 55 through the afternoon, then climbs to a median of 80 by 10pm before easing back to 55 in the final hour. Ride it first thing or in the very last hour, and stay out of the line after dinner.

Seven Dwarfs holds around a 45 to 50 minute median for most of the afternoon and evening, then eases in the park's final two hours, into the 25 to 40 range depending on the day. Ride it late instead of mid-afternoon if you can hold out.

Tiana's Bayou opens near a 5 to 10 minute median wait, climbs steadily to a peak of 45 to 50 by early afternoon, and holds close to that most of the day. Ride it in the first hour before the climb, since the afternoon stays near that peak until the last hour.

Space Mountain's median wait peaks in the 40 to 45 range around midday and doesn't really let up until the final two hours, when it falls into the 10 to 25 range. Save it for that last hour instead of fighting the midday peak.

Big Thunder's median wait tops out at 35 in the late morning and stays elevated into the evening before dropping to 20 and then 15 in the final two hours. The last stretch before close is the easiest window to grab it.

Haunted Mansion's median wait climbs to 25 by late morning and stays in that range most of the day, but it settles back to the low teens in the final two hours. Ride it early or in that late stretch instead of the midday peak.
