In my opinion, it's the best of all the 3D flying simulator rides. The line for Avatar Flight of Passage was consistently long throughout the day, at one point reaching 150 minutes toward the early evening. The good news is, that Disney offers a limited number of lightning lane entrance passes, but they do go quickly.

  • You can buy the Genie Pass to buy access to the lightning lane (or whatever they call it these days), but even with that you will still be waiting in line.
  • You can pay for a private tour which may include fast access to select rides.

The answer is the MagicBand! Your resort reservations are linked to your MagicBands through your My Disney Experience account, and, during Extra Magic Hours, you must scan your MagicBand to enter the park early. Or, during evening Extra Magic Hours, you must scan your MagicBand at any rides or attractions.

There are several reasons why Walt Disney World deliberately inflates wait times. First, it's good for guest satisfaction–an extension of the ole “underpromise and overdeliver” mantra. It's surprisingly simple: guests will be happy if they wait less time than is advertised, but unhappy if they wait longer.

Animal Kingdom rarely stays open past 8PM and on average is the Walt Disney World park with the earliest closing time. A lot of this has to do with the fact that Animal Kingdom is home to many different animals that require care.
