MDE Wait Times - How Accurate?

[Keels]

Just curious to see if the MDE app Wait Times/FP Return Times have been relatively accurate for the past week or so. Can anyone who has been at the parks recently comment?

We're trying to plan a trip in January without FP+/EMH (staying offsite) and are operating under the impression that FP- may be gone as well, so I've been following the times on comparable Crowd Calendar days to see what Wait Times look like at Rope Drop just to get an idea of how we should plan our (long) days and what a realistic touring plan might be.

Thanks!

The wait times in the MDX app are direct from Disney's system. They should match the posted wait time at the attraction.

Per a friend that just returned: the app had one time on her phone and another on her DHs phone. They have the same phone with the same carrier (family plan). They'd open the app at the same time. Our of curiosity, they'd check while at the attraction. One of their times was always right, but not the same persons consistently.

Their thoughts were that one phone lagged and the other was caught up, just depending/luck-of-the-draw on how they hit the internet connection. None of *us* are techies though, so...

Here now. Wait times match what is outside the ride but we are finding most are not accurate

Not accurate in it taking longer than indicated or quicker? I find that it's often quicker than the posted signs will indicate but rarely the other way around. Curious if this was your observation.
