Moderate Midweek Crowds – Disney World Wait Times for Wednesday, March 31, 2021

Posted wait times today at Walt Disney World’s four theme parks indicated moderate crowd levels everywhere except EPCOT.  A closer look at actual waits in line at EPCOT, however, make the park look much better, so that’s something to consider as we start the run-up to Easter weekend.

We counted 481 of 500 guests (96%) in Animal Kingdom wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines.  And we’ve got 220 actual wait times so far today from our fabulous Lines community. Let’s do the rest of the numbers!
