Rope Drop Hero’s public Guides analyze posted standby waits for tracked attractions at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The published history includes observations dating to March 13, 2023 at all four parks. Individual attractions and analyses can have shorter histories.
We refresh these figures with each verified daily Guides release. Each figure has its own date range and sample. View the exact Guides snapshot used for this edition.

The opening-hour rankings cover the Guides’ selected headliners. “Typical” means the median. Each opening-hour sample contains dates with readings in the opening hour, the following hour and two hours after opening. Early Entry comparisons use dates with repeated readings in both periods. We calculate differences before rounding, so a displayed gap can differ by one minute from the subtraction of the two displayed waits.
TRON Lightcycle / Run had a typical posted wait of 60 minutes in the opening hour.
Dates from 2024-09-09 to 2026-11-11. Sample of 711 matched dates with readings in the opening hour and the next two hours.
