Nice weather here in Central Florida brought folks out to Walt Disney World today, with all four parks seeing wait times in the top 10 days of the past month. We received 162 actual wait times today from folks in the parks, too. Let’s do the numbers!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
Lots of attractions had their highest wait times of the week today. For example, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had an average wait time today of 55 minutes. Its 7-day average is 50 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 49 minutes, so today ranks #3 for the past month. The good news is that we received 9 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 62% of the posted wait time.
Hollywood Studios Wait Times
Likewise, the Studios was a popular choice today. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run had an average wait time today of 58 minutes. Its 7-day average is 54 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 52 minutes, so today ranks #3 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 61 minutes, so today ranks #130 for the past year. We received 4 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 104% of the posted wait time.
Rise of the Resistance had a great day today, running ahead of its last-week average for most of the day. Boarding groups started getting called around 9:30 a.m., and continued apace until the usual afternoon pause around 3 p.m. Good day for the park operations folks.
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.
EPCOT Wait Times
Every attraction in EPCOT posted its highest average wait time of the week today. Even Living with the Land got in on the act: Living with the Land had an average wait time today of 24 minutes. Its 7-day average is 13 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 13 minutes, so today ranks #1 for the past month.
