Another day of lowest-crowds-in-a-month numbers out of Walt Disney World. That’s not unexpected – there’s no Walt Disney World Marathon this week, so it’s a midweek day in January. In a pandemic. With few hotel discounts. Totally understandable. And even as low as these wait time numbers are, we’re pretty sure EPCOT was even less crowded, because the actual wait times in line were less than half of the posted.
We received 108 actual wait times today from users of our Lines app. And we counted 494 of 500 guests (99%) in the Magic Kingdom wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines. Let’s do the rest of the numbers!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
To put today’s wait times in perspective, the average posted waits at Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Mad Tea Party rank as the 240th-highest, 239th-highest, and 251st-highest for the past year. But the Magic Kingdom was closed for 112 days (reopening for cast members on July 7), so today’s waits are close to the year-long lows for those attractions.
Animal Kingdom Wait Times
Avatar Flight of Passage had an average wait time today of 17 minutes. Its 7-day average is 39 minutes, so today ranks #6 for this week. Its 30-day average is 65 minutes, so today ranks #29 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 73 minutes, so today ranks #209 for the past year. We received 4 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 77% of the posted wait time.
Hollywood Studios Wait Times
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring John Mellencamp had an average wait time today of 26 minutes. Its 7-day average is 45 minutes, so today ranks #6 for this week. Its 30-day average is 48 minutes, so today ranks #28 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 54 minutes, so today ranks #220 for the past year. We received 8 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 54% of the posted wait time.
Rise of the Resistance has had a normal day of operations while calling boarding groups. Rise had one small delay this afternoon, for about 30 minutes starting at 2 p.m. with Boarding Group 85, and boarding groups have been called steadily since then. Rise of the Resistance is approaching boarding group 130 as I write this.
EPCOT Wait Times
It was likely close to the slowest day of the past year at Frozen Ever After, which had an average wait time today of 21 minutes. Its 7-day average is 25 minutes, so today ranks #4 for this week. Its 30-day average is 41 minutes, so today ranks #26 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 55 minutes, so today ranks #236 for the past year. We received 5 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 48% of the posted wait time.
