Let’s Hop to EPCOT – Disney World Wait Times for Saturday, January 16, 2021

Crowds were moderate across Walt Disney World today, with a noticeable bump in wait times at EPCOT after 2 p.m.  That might be guests hopping parks from Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom, which opened much earlier in the day.  And although the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT had posted wait times that put today in the top 10 busiest of the past month, I don’t think crowds were as large as those times indicate.  The actual waits in line were just 58% or less of the posted wait times at those parks.  That means your actual waits in line were closer to half of the posted wait, than the posted wait itself.

We received 189 actual wait times today from fabulous users of our Lines app.  And we counted 488 of 500 guests (98%) wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines.  Let’s do the rest of the numbers!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had an average wait time today of 61 minutes. Its 7-day average is 41 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 56 minutes, so today ranks #10 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 49 minutes, so today ranks #53 for the past year. We received 6 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 46% of the posted wait time.
