Sunday afternoons / evenings for locals?

(please don't hate me for being a local)

In the process of debating Believe Key passes for the family and wondering how the Sunday crowds might be for those who don't rope drop and are more apt to wander around in a laid back fashion. Had AP before (So Cal and Flex) but don't know how things have been in these new pandemic, Magic Key times. Any insight and advice appreciated. Thanks!

For what it’s worth, Fresh Baked just showed a bunch of wait time averages for days since Magic Keys have been available. There seemed to be a big drop in crowd levels on Sunday evenings as people presumably head home early for work/school on Monday.

I feel like the weekend crowds are slightly lower than pre-pandemic but I'm still seeing things like hour waits for Soarin on Sunday.
On some Sundays, OBB is leading to elevated wait times during the mix in period, especially for GOTG. But I have noticed that for some of the rides that used to have fastpass like Splash Mountain and GOTG, the posted wait times have been longer than actual waits.

I remember Sunday’s and the evenings being the worst time. But I think now that reservations are needed, it’s almost normal and expected crows levels.

it’s hard to say since it’s only been 3 weekends in. We were there this past weekend, and Sunday Wait times were pretty good 45 minutes for Haunted Mansion around 12n. The heat was terrible. It was also a OBB party weekend (both Sat and Sun)
