Arrived at WDW today (5/17) for a four-day stay. Didn't really know what to expect for wait times, but was thrilled with our findings today.
We got to MGM around 2pm. Standby times for both Tower of Terror and Rock N. Rollercoaster were between 5 and 13 minutes. Star Tours had no wait time.
Headed over to the Magic Kingdom about 6pm, and things were a little busier.
Buzz had a posted standby of 10-15 minutes. FastPass return window was only about an hour ahead, so we used FP.
Space Mountain really surprised us. Again, FastPass return time was less than an hour from the point the ticket was issued. But the posted standby wait was never less than 20 minutes. We redeemed our FastPasses about 8:15, and the standby line seemed really long to me. It extended all the way out the front door of the attraction.
About 30 minutes before closing, we headed over to BTMR and SM. Both were walk-ons, although I doubt that was the case throughout the day. Most people had begun to line up for the fireworks, and we had these two E Ticket attractions virtually to ourselves. I've got to say, riding BTMR at night is a real treat. And, even rarer still, we are the proud owners of a Splash Mountain photo that has DW and myself as the ONLY occupants of the ride car.
Anyway, hope this info is useful for those who will be visiting WDW in the next couple of weeks. We couldn't be happier so far.
