Holiday Crowds! – Disney World Wait Times for Monday, December 21, 2020

The average posted wait at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train today was just under 100 minutes, so it’s safe to say holiday crowds have arrived at Walt Disney World. Having said that, the actual wait times at the park were just 64% of the posted wait, so things weren’t as desperate as the posted waits might’ve indicated.  We counted 493 of 500 guests (99%) in the Magic Kingdom wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines. And we got 210 actual wait times today from our fabulous Lines users! Let’s do the numbers!
