What 90 days of history shows
The hourly chart above covers the last two weeks, which is the right window for what today looks like. These three take the long view, where a weekday pattern needs a full season before it means anything.
Quietest day of the week
Across the last 90 days, Avatar Flight of Passage has run its shortest lines on Wednesdays (about 45 minutes) and its longest on Mondays (about 55 minutes), a difference of roughly 10 minutes.
Median posted wait per weekday. Medians, not averages, so one breakdown day does not move the number.
What the end of the day is worth
Avatar Flight of Passage peaks around 11 AM at a median of 65 minutes. By 6 PM that median is 35 minutes, so riding late rather than at the peak has been worth about 30 minutes in line. Your own day can differ, and this is what the history showed.
