Disney World experienced an extremely hot day on Friday, June 19th, resulting in significantly longer wait times for popular attractions across multiple parks. Animal Kingdom saw TRON Lightcycle Run reach a peak of 70 minutes, while several rides including Barnstormer and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad remained closed due to weather-related issues. Epcot also dealt with closures as Journey into Imagination shut down for two consecutive hours without explanation, though Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind maintained high demand with waits reaching 90 minutes. Magic Kingdom faced similar challenges where Rise of the Resistance and Tower of Terror both hit 90-minute queues, while Slinky Dog Dash struggled to keep up despite outdoor conditions. The extreme heat appears to have been a major factor in ride closures and extended wait times throughout the day, making it difficult for guests to enjoy their visits comfortably.
