Posted wait times at the Magic Kingdom were surprisingly high today, while waits at the other three Disney parks were more moderate. One of the surprising things about those high wait times is that it rained on and off throughout the day. It was warm, though – I think the high hit 79 degrees today, so that might’ve had something to do with it. (And the tomato plants I started growing in February are still producing fruit in mid-December, so added bonus there.)
We collected 182 actual wait times today from our fabulous Lines community. And we counted 487 of 500 people (97%) in the Animal Kingdom wearing masks in accordance with Disney’s guidelines. Let’s do the numbers!
