Solid Midweek Crowds – Disney World Wait Times for Wednesday, March 17, 2021

All four Disney parks saw robust crowds today, with average posted wait times at the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT all in the top 10 days of the past month.  Hollywood Studios’ crowds were smaller, but that may be due to increased ride capacity (or everyone was in line for the newly-released Galaxy’s Edge sporks).

We counted 484 of 500 guests (97%) at Hollywood Studios wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines.  And we’ve got 246 actual wait times so far today from our fabulous Lines community. Let’s do the rest of the numbers!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

Pirates of the Caribbean had an average wait time today of 55 minutes. Its 7-day average is 56 minutes, so today ranks #3 for this week. Its 30-day average is 57 minutes, so today ranks #20 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 43 minutes, so today ranks #49 for the past year. We received 11 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 90% of the posted wait time.

Rise of the Resistance seems to have run well today, with only one long outage – around 30 minutes at boarding group 109, just before 2:30 p.m.  Rise is on pace to hit boarding group 180 around 7:30 p.m.

Speaking of Rise, we counted 1,048 guests per hour exiting Rise of the Resistance today around noon.  Rise is calling around 20 boarding groups per hour, so the average number of people in a boarding group right now seems to be around 52 right now.  That works out to a maximum capacity of around 9,400 riders per day, assuming everything runs well.
