Not ideal but the Pirates line was actually longer than this during our 8/8 MK day. Hard to tell exact wait time from the line length and even the posted time during right now.

Lines look substantial, but open spaces look very clear still.

Generally doesn't look that busy still - but as someone else said food outlets are perhaps a more interesting problem?

Haunted mansion was about the same last weekend for me. A lot of the queue length and ride wait times depend on the cleaning. I’m not sure how often they do them, but it seemed like 75% of the lines I waited on for 20 or more minutes had to be cleaned while I was in line. While it might have been purely coincidental that I had chosen these rides at those exact cleaning times, they do extend the queue length, even though the cleaning only takes 10-15 minutes

Crazy that Universal is so busy. The wait times at Disney don’t seem all that bad all things considered.

4 parks vs 3. Disney has far more dining options that eat people. There’s much more to do at Disney walking around than at Universal where it’s mainly just going from ride to ride. You could walk through Animal exhibits for hours at AK and its not accounted for on MDE.

I will be curious to hear from those in parks this weekend what their actual wait times end up being.

Don’t worry. Once Universal gets Velociraptor up and running that will solve that. Nothing else can eat people with the speed of a Velociraptor!

Also consider at Universal guests can do both parks in 1 day so you have a lot more people willing to commit a full day of time. But still, big yikes.

Side note, their new date-based pricing actually saved us $20/ticket for next Thursday. Fingers crossed for quiet post-LD parks.

I’m not sure what the number is. The speculation is around 25-30% of normal capacity.

Rumors are 8,500-10,000 in each park. Nothing came out that they increased capacity for this weekend.

Checked into kidani today. First time I’ve ever stayed at AK. Desk person said they are 85% capacity (compared to 30% that they have been averaging)

He suggested we use the Jambo pool bc he said the Kadani pool is extremely busy and bc Jambo is bigger. So here we are, and it’s packed as well. Not a single lounger poolside available. Pool bar is open with drinks and grab and go sandwiches. Line about 10 people deep with only one person working it.

Also only one family allowed on the shuttle at a time.

Wow that seems like a low number. I would of thought maybe 15k or more this weekend. At least for Epcot and MK.

Considering Miami Dolphins will have 13,000 fans in the seats next weekend.

Yep and thats over the full day so may not even get close to that at any one time.

Suffice to say, I’m not taking Disney Parks predictions from The Sun

The United States’ Sun and the U.K.’s Sun are completely different operations they are not connected in anyway. The UK’s Sun is a tabloid, but in the British sense of tabloid. Think the Daily Mail. It isn’t the New York Times, but it isn’t the Enquirer either.

Good point, I hadn't noticed most of those images were from the US Sun!

Difficult to tell with masks on, but doesn't appear to be many happy looking people in that queue

Isn’t this Downtown Disney in CA? I can’t imagine venturing out in those crowds in such a hot day just for what? Some shopping?

 

[anthony2k7]

What's open?

Less than Garden Walk probably!

Perhaps they didn't realise the parks were closed?!

It’s a holiday weekend and the only thing Disney that’s open. I agree it’s too hot for just shopping. But others don’t seem to mind
