Spring Break crowds seem to have arrived in Walt Disney World. The Magic Kingdom’s posted wait times today were the highest they’ve been in the past month, with Animal Kingdom’s waits the second-highest of the past month, and Hollywood Studios at 3%. EPCOT’s posted waits have it as the 7th-busiest of the past month, but the actual wait times we’ve received from EPCOT today indicate those posted wait times are inflated more than usual, so take EPCOT’s posted waits with a grain of salt.
We counted 489 of 500 guests in EPCOT today wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines – that’s 98%. And we’ve got 175 actual wait times st far today from our fabulous Lines community! Let’s do the rest of the numbers!
