Was at MK on the day in question. The wait times were not correct. Only one ride was a 30 minute wait, Jungle Cruise, everything else was essentially walk under 20 minutes and walk on.
Yes. ROTR and Ratatouille will both have virtual queues as well as the ability to purchase "Individual Attraction Service" - paid FP for a single ride.Hi Guys. I don't know if this belongs here but feel free to move. I am asking because it deals with wait times. With Genie+ coming, will ROTR still have virtual queues? Thanks in advance.
Thanks. I can live with either one at this point. I was there last month and both days got BG 38 and 29.Yes. ROTR and Ratatouille will both have virtual queues as well as the ability to purchase "Individual Attraction Service" - paid FP for a single ride.
This. We were at the studios Sunday and Epcot last night. Posted wait times seemed double what the actual wait time was.Was at MK on the day in question. The wait times were not correct.

FTFY10-15 years ago this week was the same price as all the other weeks. Nowits 1/3rd cheaper the other weeks are 2/3 more expensive.
Explain to me like I'm 5 why there are 60+ minute waits today
Both can be true. Over most of the last 15 years, if a wait was over 20 minutes I usually just walked away, though sometimes I judge by looking, not the posted wait time. Others may well do the reverse, see a posted wait of 30 and walk away. Still others opted to wait in the 30+ minutes line.I always wonder if we have selective memory when we think back on wait times, I’ve only been visiting the parks for a decade but I distinctly remember days where I walked on most rides, I also distinctly remember people constantly complaining about the long waits on the blogs and websites, including this one, so that makes me think it’s always been busy.
Mabye we simply remember the positive and forget the negative or maybe there just aren’t any slow days left to remember.
That said, even on busy days I don’t think we ever wait more than 30 minutes for anything, we hit the e-tickets early and/or late in the day and do the rest of the rides midday when it’s chaos, or better yet we go back to the hotel for cocktails by the pool.

2. WDW has busier weeks, like holidays, and slower weeks. Perhaps folks both visited in 2015, but chose different weeks.
3. Even over the course of a single day, the peak waits occur 11am to about 4pm. Maximum wait time is typically very different from the morning and late PM wait, or the wait with FP. You don't need a complex plan to know that the wait for Kali peaks in the late afternoon. Kali has a short wait in the AM hours, you just have to be willing to get wet. If I ride it at 11am, I don't pay attention to the 2pm wait. (Unless I decide to re-ride it.)
4. Even during the peak hours, many attractions have short waits. I don't understand why so many park visitors don't manage their time better, but waiting in peak lines is their choice. If they opt to do it, so be it. I think many folks just don't want to think it through.
Possibly there is influence from the general situation? It seemed that more people were looking at options for schooling beyond the standard public schools (including things like home schooling).That sounds like another good reason for sure. But I just find it hard to believe that this many families are visiting with their children this week. Yes the prices are cheaper, but families can only go when they can go.

If that has, in fact, increased that could increase demand as those families would have more freedom to schedule their vacations when others can't as they don't have to stay tied to a standard schedule.
I just don't get it. Tuesday, of the least busiest week of the year, all kids back in school, and yet still 60+ minute waits for numerous attractions in all four parks.
