Not Bad Holiday Crowds – Disney World Wait Times for Saturday, April 3, 2021

Average wait times were moderate around Walt Disney World on this Saturday before Easter, with no park’s numbers in the top 10 for the past month.  Our team is spending the day testing different touring plans in the Animal Kingdom, and I can say firsthand that crowds were not bad.  Also, it should be illegal for Disney to pump out the delicious, delicious scent of Flame Tree Barbecue at 8:00 a.m. when the restaurant doesn’t open for another couple hours. I feel really strongly about that.

We’ve got 220 actual wait times in line so far today from our fabulous Lines community.  And we counted 493 of 500 guests (99%) 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 55 minutes. Its 7-day average is 56 minutes, so today ranks #3 for this week. Its 30-day average is 53 minutes, so today ranks #13 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 37 minutes, so today ranks #51 for the past year. We received 9 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 75% of the posted wait time.
