Highest Waits of Past Year at MK, AK – Disney World Crowds for Thursday, July 8, 2021

Average posted wait times were the highest they’ve been in the past month at the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom today, and in the top 20 of all days since reopening almost a year ago.  Those high wait times were driven partly by bad weather that closed outdoor attractions mid-day, and by increased park capacity.  Avatar – Flight of Passage had an average posted wait of 125 minutes, which is its highest of the past year.  Also, those posted wait times (and those at EPCOT) overstated the actual wait times we observed by around 50%, so actual waits were not as bad as the signs made them seem.

We’ve got 145 actual wait times so far today from our fabulous Lines community. Let’s do the rest of the numbers!

Rise of the Resistance is having a better day of operations today, but that’s not saying much. Rise of the Resistance began calling boarding groups around 8:40 a.m., and seems to have run well for about 50 minutes before encountering its first delay of the day at boarding group 17.  That delay looks like it lasted around an hour and fifteen minutes.  When the ride resumed operation, it seemed to run okay through 4:30 p.m.  But it looks like the ride hasn’t called a boarding group since then, so it’s stuck around boarding group 98.
