The Pirates of the Caribbean Update You Need to Know in Disney World

When you think of fan-favorite rides in Magic Kingdom, you may think of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain, or maybe even the newest ride, TRON Lightcycle / Run.

While these rides are all unique and exciting on their own, many classic Disney fans may say that Pirates of the Caribbean is the best ride in Magic Kingdom.

We’ve been watching the wait times at every ride in Disney World and we noticed something different this week — Pirates of the Caribbean’s wait time increased while other ride wait times saw a pretty big decrease. It may be time to prioritize Pirates of the Caribbean when it comes to Genie+ selections, but our wait time data below can help you decide!
