What is going on at WDW today

[jlnten17]

I have been checking wait times randomly in anticipation of our trip the first week in Sept. Today looks crazy busy 75 min for Belle? I hope the crowds thin soon

Maybe a bunch of last minute vacations before school starts?

Here in the Northeast school starts after Labor Day.

Blackish is filming around WDW this week (according to the disney facebook). might be causing some areas with more crowds or some rides down while they film near them.

Belle often gets a long wait. It can only fit so many in the room at a time and is a decent length of a show so I've seen it stack up even in a "slow" period.

As @Accident pointed out they are currently filming Blackish in the parks so that is going to create some logistic issues if they are filming during regular hours and a lot of schools have not yet gone back or just went back so a lot of last minute summer vacations. I checked Universal just for fun and they are pushing 90 minute waits for the popular rides as well.

With that note though there is still a bunch of stuff that is 30 minutes or less so not crazy crowded. IF it was ridiculously crowded Pirates would be more than 15 minutes and Space Mountain would not be at 45 minutes at 3 pm.

That would explain it.

Many rides closed today due to weather.

Also notice ride times on app does not reflect reality...Sometimes much shorter.

Agreed the app had FEA at 120 mins last Friday however when we got to Froway it was posted 75 (changed to 90 as we were queuing to meet lines end but still)
