Animal Kingdom Wait Times

The good news at Animal Kingdom is that posted wait times seem like they were inflated more than usual.  Kilimanjaro Safaris had an average wait time today of 41 minutes. Its 7-day average is 23 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 25 minutes, so today ranks #1 for the past month. We received 13 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 36% of the posted wait time.  So that average posted wait of 41 minutes was probably an actual wait closer to 15 minutes.
