By Parkopia

Discover how to beat the crowds and enjoy shorter wait times at Disney World's busiest park, Magic Kingdom.

Let's face it, one of the best things about Disney World is the rides. So why spend your time waiting in line for the perfect view of the Happily Ever After fireworks show? Trust us, it's worth skipping the pyrotechnics for short wait times on your favorite rides!

But when is the best time to hit the rides? We've got you covered. Take advantage of the low crowds during the Happily Ever After fireworks show by heading to the rides that everyone else is skipping. You'll be able to enjoy popular attractions like Space Mountain and Peter Pan's Flight with wait times as low as 15 minutes.

And don't forget about those rides with notoriously long wait times. Yes, we're talking about Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Peter Pan's Flight. You'll be surprised to find these rides with wait times as low as 40 minutes during the fireworks show. That's right, you'll be riding in half the time it usually takes!

But wait, it gets better. Take a look at the lowest wait times for Magic Kingdom on a busy day, and you'll see that the Happily Ever After fireworks show is the perfect time to hit the rides with minimal wait times. We're talking 5-minute waits for rides like Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin and the Mad Tea Party. And even popular rides like Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain are only at 35 and 15 minutes, respectively.

But why stop at just Magic Kingdom? Take a peek at the rest of Disney World and you'll see that the trend continues. Head to Hollywood Studios during Fantasmic for short wait times on popular rides like Tower of Terror and Rock'n'Roller Coaster. And at Animal Kingdom, catch the Tree of Life awakenings for shorter lines on rides like Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest.

So on your next trip to Disney World, make the most of your time by skipping the fireworks and hitting the rides instead. Trust us, it's a trade-off you won't regret!
