Crowds dipped a bit from their weekend peaks as we start the week at Walt Disney World. The average posted wait times at the Magic Kingdom were the 8th-highest of the past month, and that was tops for all four parks.
Although posted wait times were moderate, our Lines community was all over Walt Disney World today – we’ve got 155 actual wait times so far today! We also counted 484 of 500 guests (97%) at EPCOT wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines. Let’s do the rest of the numbers!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
It looks like posted wait times were inflated a bit at the Magic Kingdom today. Of the 71 actual wait times we’ve received so far in that park, the average actual wait time has been just 62% of the posted wait. It should be closer to 80%. At 62%, a posted wait of 60 minutes at Splash Mountain would mean an actual wait of about 37 minutes.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had a big gap in its actual vs posted waits – the average posted wait time today was 45 minutes. We received 8 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 38% of the posted wait time. So for an average posted wait of 45 minutes, the actual wait would’ve been around 17 minutes.
Animal Kingdom Wait Times
At the other end of the spectrum, Avatar: Flight of Passage had an average posted wait time today of 38 minutes. We received 8 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 111% of the posted wait time.
Hollywood Studios Wait Times
Tower of Terror continues to run at reduced capacity. Over on Hollywood Boulevard, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway had an average wait time today of 50 minutes. Its 7-day average is 55 minutes, so today ranks #7 for this week. Its 30-day average is 45 minutes, so today ranks #9 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 60 minutes, so today ranks #149 for the past year. We received 9 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 71% of the posted wait time.
Rise of the Resistance has had a decent day of operations. Rise of the Resistance began calling boarding groups at 8:45 a.m. with groups 1 through 11. Everything ran smoothly until boarding group 61 around 12:10 p.m. There was a delay in Rise calling boarding group 62 until around 12:50 p.m. Since Rise began calling boarding groups again, the ride has continued to run smoothly; it looks like Rise will be able to get to boarding group 150 or better before the end of the evening.
EPCOT Wait Times
Test Track had an average wait time today of 46 minutes. Its 7-day average is 74 minutes, so today ranks #6 for this week. Its 30-day average is 55 minutes, so today ranks #15 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 55 minutes, so today ranks #150 for the past year. We received 4 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 57% of the posted wait time.
