Magic Kingdom Still Looks Busy – Disney World Wait Times for Thursday, December 10, 2020

The Magic Kingdom’s average posted wait times continue to be strong as we head into the weekend. A few of the park’s headliners, notably Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, and Haunted Mansion, had actual wait times far lower than the posted wait times indicated. But overall, the park’s average actual wait time was about 70% of the posted wait, which is in line with historical averages.

We’ve received 207 actual wait times so far today – thank you, Liners! Let’s do the numbers!

Hollywood Studios wait times for Thursday, December 10, 2020

Rise of the Resistance had a really solid day of operations today, with steady calling of boarding groups from the moment the park opened. There’s been one small delay in calling boarding groups, from just before 3 p.m. for about 30 minutes. That happens almost every day, though, so it’s almost certainly a scheduled break.
