Despite being a dreary day in Orlando, attendance and wait times are picking up today. Magic Kingdom is actually seeing its second busiest day in terms of average wait times in the past 30 days. Disney’s Hollywood Studios has long average wait times, thanks in part to another bumpy day of operations at Rise of the Resistance.
