Crowds and temperatures were relatively low in Walt Disney World on Tuesday. And today was the first day that Rise of the Resistance boarding groups were available to guests at 7 a.m. without having to enter Hollywood Studios.
We counted 500 people at Disney’s Animal Kingdom yesterday, and 486 of them (97%) were wearing masks in accordance to Disney’s guidelines. For reference, 81 of the 100 people we counted at Orlando International Airport were wearing masks that followed the airport’s guidelines.
We received 183 actual wait times in Walt Disney World today. Let’s do the numbers!
Hollywood Studios Wait Times
We think Rise of the Resistance’s capacity has increased in the past couple of weeks, drawing more people per hour into Galaxy’s Edge. Nearby, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run had its highest average posted wait time of the past week today, at 60 minutes. Its 30-day average is 59 minutes, so today ranks #17 for the past month. And those posted wait times seemed pretty accurate – we received 5 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 99% of the posted wait time.
Posted wait times still seem to be overestimating the actual waits at Toy Story Mania, though. Toy Story had an average wait time today of 31 minutes, higher than its 7-day average of 25 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. But we received 10 actual wait times today at Toy Story, and the actual wait averaged 54% of the posted wait time. That’s much lower than the park-wide average of 79%.
Likewise, posted waits at Star Tours: The Adventures Continue were overestimates. Star Tours’ posted waits averaged 30 minutes today. We received 6 actual wait times, though, and the actual wait only averaged 59% of the posted wait time.
Slinky Dog Dash had an average wait time today of 68 minutes. Its 7-day average is 59 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 67 minutes, so today ranks #15 for the past month. We received 4 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 85% of the posted wait time.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster had an average wait time today of 50 minutes, ranking it #1 for the week (its 7-day average is 44 minutes). RnRC’s 30-day average is 51 minutes, so today ranks #18 for the past month. We received 4 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 71% of the posted wait time.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror had an average wait time today of 48 minutes. Its 7-day average is 43 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 48 minutes, so today ranks #13 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 61 minutes, so today ranks #147 for the past year. We received 8 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 86% of the posted wait time.
