News Parking lot at Disney's Animal Kingdom is at capacity (Jan 4 2018)

[matt9112]

It's just not AK...All of the parks have pretty long wait times...as of 1:30pm Central for example...

Peter Pan - 155 min (still don't understand why this ride gets this wait time)
Space Mountain - 235 min
7DMT - 220 min
AFoP- 265 Min
Dinosaur/Navi River - 180 min

nothing on that list is worth the wait.

No rides are worth those waits anywhere.

Better off for a day at Old Town or Fun Spot instead...

I think I might even prefer being at work.

Maybe they should have added a few more rides to Avatar Land! Or, made the Navi Boat ride higher capacity and more than a C TICKET ride.

I don't necessarily disagree with that, but what does that have to do with the Animal Kingdom parking lot reaching capacity?

forty-something degrees, to boot...

What!? I wouldn’t wait 17 seconds for that sad ride!

Let's not get crazy now... Sure it's not something you wait three hours for, but it's one of the better dark rides on property, and for my money the best Dinosaur-themed ride in the US.

It is a good ride but, Thematically Indiana Jones at DL made the same ride layout better...

I love that ride. Extremely underrated.

The Indy ride is really good, but that doesn't make Dinosaur garbage.

Oh no doubt...The only difference is the Darkness utilized more in Dino where as Indy mostly scene based effects with the shakiness..

My advice to anyone at DAK is forget about the rides and enjoy the beautiful park and it's animals! Start a convo with the CMs about the animals. I know around the park they now have little carts with info and CMs from several different countries, start a convo with them! Remember, WDW is an escape primarily, not a theme park mecca.

What the heck? So crazy, I guess cause most school is out still? This is kinda weird.

Has the cold weather got anything to do with increased wait times? With resort pools closed and water parks maybe?? (not sure about that bit).

 

[HauntedPirate]

Great day to hang out by the pool or go to Typhoon Lagoon! Oh wait...

 

[Disone]

The lot reopened to all between 3 and 4pm.

Unless someone else knows more and just hasn't shared yet, I'm pretty sure this is Marathon weekend crowds.

I mean in addition to the Marathon crowds..

 

[rethea]

I thought early January was a low crowd time.....

I dunno. Last time I rode Dinosaur a few years back it was garbage. I could get the same experience by sitting in a chair with a blindfold and someone jerking it around for a few minutes.

OK I'm exaggerating, but that's kind of what I feel like I experienced once I get off. Now, if they brought it back to opening day level of quality.. We'd be talking.
