Here Are the Average Times Stalled WDW Rides Take To Reopen

We’ve all experienced it. We’ve been waiting in line for our favorite Walt Disney World ride forever, inching forward as patiently as possible. We get closer to the ride vehicles, but then suddenly, the line halts to a dead stop, and we have no idea why or how long it will last. Sometimes, Cast Members are nice enough to make an announcement explaining that ride services have been interrupted and will be back up and running soon – but there is still no idea how long that’ll be.
