Saying Goodbye to 2020 — Disney World Wait Times for December 31, 2020

New Year’s Eve is traditionally the busiest day of the year at Walt Disney World. With capacity limits and no scheduled fireworks, though, it’s likely today won’t even be in the top 50 for any park. (EPCOT’s wait times today are grossly inflated – a trend we’ve seen for a while now.)

We counted 487 of 500 guests (97%) wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines today at Hollywood Studios. We received 161 actual wait times today. Let’s do the numbers!

Magic Kingdom Wait Times

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had an average wait time today of 53 minutes. Its 7-day average is 58 minutes, so today ranks #5 for this week. Its 30-day average is 56 minutes, so today ranks #17 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 50 minutes, so today ranks #91 for the past year. We received 9 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 55% of the posted wait time.
