Wait Time Tracking Chart: Disney World's New Normal

My sister is in DHS today. Wait times are vastly exaggerated. Slinky was posted at 60 - took 25. Smugglers run said 20 - took 8, Runaway Railway posted 75 - took 14. So things are moving much quicker than posted.

For rise, they got boarding group 37 at 10:03. Right now, its showing 150 minute wait for her group.

Wow, 10:03? I thought they were all gone in seconds!

What messages did she get from 10:00 and 10:03 from MDE? Did it take 3 minutes to load a boarding group after she got in at 10:00? Or did she keep trying to join from 10:00 to 10:03? Thought the 10 am BGs were gone within seconds. TIA!
 


Interesting - if you click through the Park Availability Calendar, the next park to be "full" is AK, followed by MK (just click on the dates for the AP park reservations and see what is not available). Not sure what that implies, but I would suspect that the cancelled live shows have a lot of impact on that. All the same, I think this whole COVID thing has shown a real weakness in the offerings at DHS.

She got on the app as soon as they walked through the gate and got a boarding pass in 15 seconds. I guess they didn’t get inside until 10:03😆

I see! Thanks for the clarification! I practised it today at 1 pm and couldn’t go further for not being in the park after selecting my party.

:thanks:

I have to wonder if her clock is just slightly off. We tried 10:00am and all passes were gone in seconds. 10:01, and they had already closed the link. We tried exactly at 10:00 and by the time we selected our party, they were completely sold out.
 
As long as they don't increase the amount of daily reservations, would it be correct to say that any day that isn't "sold out" would possibly have even shorter wait times?
My guess is they are on the basis of the hotel opening list more hotels opening = more people. I know that not everyone goes to parks.. still something to think about.
 
I’m no longer able to see wait times with the park map on MDE. Am I just having a user error/senior moment?

I noticed this as well. Click on the location icon (bottom of the app, second from the left) and it will take you straight to the map.

Thank you! I don’t adapt well with technology sometimes

Someone actually had to tell me on here because I noticed the same thing a day or two ago and was confused, too. It reminds me when a grocery store moves one of their items and I can't find it. 😂
 
These wait times are mind-blowing! I'm going to keep following this so I ca see how the situation evolves going into our next trip!

why no times for star tours?
 
We were at Epcot yesterday and I have to say that the posted wait times there were all overstated. We rode all the rides except Mission Space and Living with the Land and they were all walk on except Frozen which had a 27 minute wait ( posted wait was 40 minutes).
Going to check out MK today, hopefully it will be just as good.
