Crowds returned to Walt Disney World today, buoyed by the weekend and warmer weather. Wait times today at all four parks rank in the top 10 of the past month, and it’s likely waits will get even longer next weekend.
We received 147 actual wait times today from the fabulous Lines app community. And we counted 476 of 500 guests (95%) wearing masks in the Magic Kingdom according to Disney’s guidelines. (That’s actually low relative to WDW’s recent average.) Let’s do the rest of the numbers!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had an average wait time today of 62 minutes. Its 7-day average is 52 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 56 minutes, so today ranks #6 for the past month. But it’s only the 104th-busiest day over the past year. We received 6 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 81% of the posted wait time.
Animal Kingdom Wait Times
The posted wait for Na’vi River Journey today was 56 minutes. And that looks to have been pretty accurate – We received 5 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 90% of the posted wait time. Its 7-day average is 41 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 44 minutes, so today ranks #4 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 48 minutes, so today ranks #73 for the past year.
Hollywood Studios Wait Times
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Debbie Gibson had an average wait time today of 36 minutes. Its 7-day average is 28 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 33 minutes, so today ranks #9 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 49 minutes, so today ranks #162 for the past year. We received 4 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 68% of the posted wait time.
Rise of the Resistance is having a good day of operations. Rise began calling boarding groups on time at 8:45 a.m., and ran continuously through 1:30 p.m. and boarding group 80. It looks like there was a pause then of about 35 minutes, until just after 2 p.m. Rise of the Resistance has called boarding groups steadily since then, and is at boarding group 135 as I write this. It looks like Rise will call above 160 boarding groups again today.
EPCOT Wait Times
Wait times at EPCOT were higher than they’ve been, but still not high in the absolute sense. Test Track had an average wait time today of 52 minutes. Its 7-day average is 44 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 49 minutes, so today ranks #11 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 54 minutes, so today ranks #114 for the past year.
