Today’s average posted wait times were low across Walt Disney World, with no park’s average wait time ranking higher than 22nd (EPCOT) out of the past 30 days. And EPCOT’s posted waits were almost double the actual waits, so crowds there weren’t even as big as the signage was indicating.
We’ve received 224 actual wait times today from our fabulous Lines community! And we’ve got three TouringPlans staff in the Magic Kingdom this afternoon, testing different versions of touring plans to see which work best. Let’s do the rest of the numbers!

Rise of the Resistance is having a pretty good run today, after getting a late start. Rise of the Resistance started calling boarding groups at 9:15 a.m. today, about 45 minutes later than normal. But Rise has only had two small periods of downtime today (one around 11 a.m. at boarding group 37, and another for 15 minutes around 3:10 p.m. at boarding group 105). As I write this, ROTR is on pace to call around 170 boarding groups for the day.
