Seven Dwarf before park close?

[Huamulan]

We will be going to MK this weekend. I have heard that one of the best ways is to get into the queue for seven dwarf mine train at around 10:50-10:59 pm if the park closes at 11pm. Would it still be 30 minutes wait at that time? Thank you.

Disney inflates their posted wait times as official park closing hours near. If the display says that it's a 30-minute wait, you'll be on in less time than that. If it says it's a 60-minute wait, you're likely to be in line for 30-45 minutes.

At 10:50, that posted 50 minute wait is based on the que at the time. which means it is slow because ILL people are still a priority over standby.

last year when everything was standby, you could do the 7dmt full line in about 25 mins from the front check in.

We rode just a few weeks ago. The posted wait at about 10:40 pm was 50 minutes but the actual wait was only 15. We could have hopped in line again just before the 11 pm close but opted for some Main Street shopping instead.

We’ve been using this strategy since 7D was new, and our longest wait ever was 20 minutes during opening week in 2014.

I checked the Touring Plans stats from yesterday just for an example.

The actual reported wait was 20 minutes just before closing time. The posted wait was 45.

This compares to an actual wait of 110 minutes (with a posted wait of 115) shortly after the park opened.

How did your plan work out?

Agree with getting in line just before the park closes. The ride is also just a lot of fun at night. Not quite as good as SDD at night, but still really fun.
Expect the actual wait to be under whatever is posted.
