LOL thats funny! the only way to get 'actual' wait times is to go on every single ride and time the wait yourself and compare it to what is posted on the standby time board. Even asking guests in line to do this would be inaccurate.
Low gas prices this year may have something to do with more people driving down than years past. I remember the years when gas was $4, MK parking lot hardly reached capacity, but yet the park itself had many phase closings.
