Lowest Crowds All Month – Disney World Wait Times for Friday, April 30, 2021

Posted wait times were the lowest they’ve been all month in Walt Disney World, with every park’s average wait time the lowest or second-lowest they’ve been in the past 30 days.  Maybe everyone’s just getting in line early for VelociCoaster over at Universal.  Still, our fabulous Lines community has submitted 176 actual wait times so far today.  And while I was at Animal Kingdom this morning, I can confirm there are still many, many birds on the animal trails.  So many birds.

At Magic Kingdom today we observed 481 out of 500 guests (96%) wearing their masks in accordance with Disney’s guidelines.  Let’s do the rest of the numbers!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

The average posted wait time was just 24 minutes at the Magic Kingdom today, and that masks the fact that the actual wait times we got were just 58% of that, or around 14 minutes per attraction.  Those are very low waits.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh had an average wait time today of 24 minutes. Its 7-day average is 29 minutes, so today ranks #6 for this week. Its 30-day average is 28 minutes, so today ranks #29 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 24 minutes, so today ranks #161 for the past year. We received 5 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 69% of the posted wait time.

Hollywood Studios wait times for Friday, April 30, 2021

Rise of the Resistance is either having a rough day of operations, or there are simply not enough people in Hollywood Studios who want to ride Disney World’s best ride.  Rise didn’t start calling boarding groups until just past 9:00 a.m. today, about half an hour later than usual. And the calling of boarding groups is running at its slowest pace of the past week.  At its current rate, Rise of the Resistance is unlikely to get past boarding group 130, making it the worst day of the past week.  Maybe it’s lack of demand, and maybe it’s operational issues.
