Overall

Wait times did not really go up compared to last week, in fact, a lot of times went down! But, this could be due to the fact that crowds were lower this week than they have been recently, so we’ll keep an eye on how Genie+ is affecting lines. Stay tuned to DFB more Disney news and updates.
