Data analysis reveals a shocking truth about Disney World wait times: queues actually drop by up to 41% immediately after a ride reopens following a breakdown. But there is a catch—you only have a 17-minute window before the "Drop & Spike" pattern kicks in and lines shoot back up.

In this episode, we review RideAlert.net, the SMS-based tool designed to catch these fleeting opportunities so you don't have to be glued to your phone. We also dive into fascinating Disney ride reliability data, revealing which attractions break down the most and the best strategies to maximize your day.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The "Drop & Spike" Pattern: Why guests avoid reopened rides, causing wait times for attractions like Tiana's Bayou Adventure to plummet by 41.6%.
• The 17-Minute Window: Data shows that 87.1% of the time, the wait time recovers or spikes within just 17 minutes.
• RideAlert.net Review: How to get SMS wait time alerts to save battery and international data.
