EPCOT Waits #2 of the Year – Disney World Wait Times for Wednesday, December 30, 2020
EPCOT’s average posted wait times today are high enough to rank as the second highest of the past year. Take that with a grain of salt, because the actual wait times were about a third lower than the posted waits, and that’s a pretty big gap. We counted 489 of 500 guests (98%) in EPCOT wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines. And we got 139 actual wait times from Liners today. Let’s do the numbers!
Magic Kingdom Wait Times
Here’s something interesting: We received 5 actual wait times today at Peter Pan’s Flight, and the actual wait averaged 133% of the posted wait time. Pan’s average posted wait time today was 49 minutes. Its 7-day average is 47 minutes, so today ranks #2 for this week. Its 30-day average is 41 minutes, so today ranks #3 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 46 minutes, so today ranks #77 for the past year.

Animal Kingdom Wait Times
Expedition Everest had an average wait time today of 61 minutes. Its 7-day average is 33 minutes, so today ranks #1 for this week. Its 30-day average is 33 minutes, so today ranks #1 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 41 minutes, so today ranks #52 for the past year. We received 7 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 56% of the posted wait time.

Hollywood Studios Wait Times
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run had an average wait time today of 67 minutes. Its 7-day average is 67 minutes, so today ranks #4 for this week. Its 30-day average is 63 minutes, so today ranks #10 for the past month. Its 365-day average is 60 minutes, so today ranks #63 for the past year. We received 8 actual wait times today, and the actual wait averaged 91% of the posted wait time.

Rise of the Resistance had a solid day of operations, calling boarding groups starting at 8:30 this morning and running almost uninterrupted until now. As I’m writing this, Rise was approaching boarding group 150, and has a good chance to get to 180 before closing.

EPCOT Wait Times
Soarin’ had an average wait time today of 74 minutes. Its 7-day average is 54 minutes, so today ranks #2 for this week. Its 30-day average is 45 minutes, so today ranks #2 for the past month.

Hi Len,
This may be a silly question, but as it’s been in my mind for a few weeks, I’m going to ask it.
Is the 365-day rank out of 365? In other words, if a ride had the smallest wait time of the year, would it register “365”? Or is it out of a smaller number, due to the March-July closure, so the maximum would be (say) 270?
Yes, I’m a math geek.
Happy New Year.

Hey Phillip! I think this year it’s out of 249 days.
