Christmas Crowds Continue to Grow – Disney World Wait Times for Tuesday, December 22, 2020

The Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios were the busiest parks today, and EPCOT continues to have over-inflated posted wait times.  We received 207 actual wait times today from our fabulous Lines users.  And we counted 495 of 500 guests (99%) in EPCOT and 491 of 500 (98%) at Disney Springs wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines. Let’s do the numbers!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

Posted wait times were up at the Magic Kingdom, but actual wait times were lower than you’d expect based on those posted times.  For example, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had an average wait time today of 81 minutes. Its 7-day average is 55 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. But we received 10 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged just 43% of the posted wait time.

Rise of the Resistance is having a solid day of operations.  Boarding groups began riding Rise of the Resistance around 8:30 a.m., and proceeded continuously until just after 11 a.m., when there was a delay of around 40 minutes in calling boarding group 47.  Boarding resumed around 11:45 a.m.  The usual delay in boarding groups around 3 p.m. only lasted around 15 minutes today, too, and that’ll allow more groups to experience Rise of the Resistance.
