Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind wait times by hour

What Standby measured

Over the 14 days from Sept. 28 to Oct. 11, 2026, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT averaged a 79-minute standby wait in Standby's wait-time tracking. The highest posted wait in that stretch was 165 minutes. All times below are local park time, and they describe what Standby measured, not a promise about any future visit.

The day, hour by hour

The earliest hour in the data, 8 a.m., was also the quietest: waits averaged 62 minutes. They jumped to 77 at 9 a.m., then eased to 68 at 10 a.m. From 11 a.m. through 2 p.m. the numbers stayed in a narrow band: 74 at 11 a.m., 73 at noon and 1 p.m., and 74 at 2 p.m.

The climb starts in the afternoon. The 3 p.m. hour averaged 84 minutes and 4 p.m. reached 87. A small dip to 81 came at 5 p.m., then 84 at 6 p.m. and 88 at 7 p.m. The busiest hour was 8 p.m., averaging 90 minutes. By 9 p.m. the average had come back down to 80.

The week

The day-of-week figures come from the week of Oct. 5 to Oct. 11. Wednesday, Oct. 7 was the quietest day at 62 minutes, with Tuesday, Oct. 6 right behind at 63. Monday, Oct. 5 averaged 69 and Thursday, Oct. 8 averaged 70. Then the week turned: Friday, Oct. 9 averaged 95, Saturday, Oct. 10 hit 106, and Sunday, Oct. 11 settled at 84.

Planning takeaway

In this data, the lowest waits clustered at the start of the day and the highest came in the evening, with a steadier run in the 70s through midday. Across the week, Tuesday and Wednesday were the lightest and Saturday was the heaviest.

One caution: the hourly and daily figures are separate averages. Standby's data here doesn't break hours out by day, so it can't say what 8 a.m. on a Wednesday looked like. It also starts at 8 a.m., so it says nothing about earlier hours. Treat it as two weeks of measured waits to help you choose between an early start, a midday ride or an evening one.
