Moderate Holiday Crowds – Disney World Wait Times for Sunday, January 17, 2021

Crowds were moderate throughout Walt Disney World today, halfway through the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr holiday weekend.  Cooler weather probably had something to do with that.  And actual wait times at most parks were 1/3rd less than posted waits.  We received 177 actual wait times today from families using our Lines app.  And we counted 491 of 500 guests (98%) in Animal Kingdom wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines.   Let’s do the rest of the numbers!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

Space Mountain had an average wait time today of 52 minutes. Its 7-day average is 37 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 57 minutes, so today ranks #20 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 49 minutes, so today ranks #92 for the past year. We received 10 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 66% of the posted wait time.
