Which Disney World rides go down more often?
Lower availability means the attraction spent a smaller share of observed operating time available during the rolling 90-day window.
Loading 90-day ride reliability…
Reliability is historical context, not a prediction. Current operating status should drive your immediate decision.
What the reliability percentage means
The availability percentage comes from Rope Drop News' rolling 90-day dataset. It summarizes observed operating availability, not a guarantee that a ride will or will not be open on your day.
Use lower reliability to change timing, not to panic
A lower-availability attraction is a reason to ride earlier, keep a backup and recheck later. It is not a reason to assume the attraction will be down.
Average outage length matters too
Two rides can have similar availability but very different downtime behavior. Short frequent interruptions and long outages create different planning risks.
Prioritize must-dos with fragile reliability
If an attraction is both a top priority and historically less reliable, do not automatically save it for the end of the night. Give yourself more than one opportunity.
Do not cross the park for a reopening rumor
If a ride is currently down, move to a nearby priority and check again later. Reliability data helps set expectations; live status should drive the immediate decision.
Where the data comes from
The rolling 90-day dataset is provided by Rope Drop News under CC BY 4.0. Park Day Lab adds the planning interpretation and does not modify the underlying availability percentages.
