Slow Weekend Ends – Disney World Wait Times for Sunday, May 2, 2021

It was another slow day at Walt Disney World’s theme parks, with no park’s average wait times ranking in the top 20 of the past month’s days.  In fact, wait times at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT were all lowest or second-lowest for the past month.  And that’s saying something, because Magic Kingdom’s posted wait times were inflated.

In other news, Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure began previews for its VelociCoaster attraction, a high-speed roller coaster themed to Jurassic Park.  I got a chance to ride it this morning, and it’s very, very good.  The ride is fast, but smooth, with none of the bang-your-head-around effects that you get on, say, Hulk or Rip Ride Rockit.  We’ll have a full review up on the site shortly.

Back at Walt Disney World, we’ve got 192 actual wait times so far today from our fabulous Lines community.  Let’s do the rest of the numbers!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover had an average wait time today of 31 minutes. Its 7-day average is 29 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 27 minutes, so today ranks #1 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 12 minutes, so today ranks #1 for the past year. We received 6 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 38% of the posted wait time.

Rise of the Resistance was having a good day up until around 3:00 p.m., when it looks like it stopped calling boarding groups around group 114.  That was around two hours ago, which means it’s unlikely that Rise of the Resistance will get to boarding group 160 today.
