The scene post WW3 will be like The Flinstones with architecture of sticks and stones.

Is attendance really down at WDW this or…
- Thread starter coachb
- Start date
I'm pretty sure that WWIII is already scheduled to be occurring much much much sooner than that.
By 2109. Universal will have built their second park on resort property in Texas. Own all of Vegas while cleaning it up and Disney will still be figuring out why Tiana was not a hit attraction and deciding on a different meaningless change for EPCOT, the park that will get you in free for last few hours if you have a valid dinner reservation.
Those seem outrageously high. Interesting. How can something like Slinky, with a modern coaster efficiency have a higher wait than the low capacity Toy Story Mania?
Were there odd delays/weather delays today? I wonder what the actual wait times were for anyone there.
I know it was a three day holiday weekend for many in a tiny park void of many attractions it once had, but still.
Uni was very busy all weekend as well. Some was due to temp tech issues but Hulk had a 75 min wait on Friday Evening which is a people eater for coaster capacity and Kong, although not running all vehicles had near an hour wait posted, but actually waited around 25 minutes.

I thought no one is going to disney?
I don't think anyone said that. I think plenty are still going, posted wait times are not the only, and sometimes are not a good qualifier of attendance to the guest. Remember they have reservations to operate at maximum effiency. So it can be really low capacity situations too.
If a ride like HM or SSE get a double the length wait without any downtime or capacity issues, then we know attendance is booming.
Proof in the fact that Slinky should never be getting a two and a half hour to three hour wait in a park full of newer attractions and a ride that has a small, but relevant height and thrill threshold. That is bad courtesy to the guest.
Runaway Railway only at a 65 tells me something is amiss with the coasters with the crazy waits.

Well, I just checked and I see the Swiss Family Treehouse only has a 5 minute wait, so all is not lost. 
My wife and I discovered an apparently not well-known secret about avoiding standing in line for Smuggler's Run the other week. We tried the single rider line and we were warned that we'd be split up into different groups. Nope. We walked right up to where it merged with the Genie+ LL. There was no one coming from that line and so they let 6 of us at a time from the single rider line through. We did that several times in a row. I think the standby line posted wait was 30 minutes.

Only the folks that live in the North East and recognize Columbus Day.

Toy Story Mania, with third track has an operational hourly capacity of 2,160. Slinky Dog's is only 1,296
Florida does not recognize Columbus Day.

No, but some of us do and have the day off so will travel for the weekend
Other areas of the country have "fall break" now as well - I know friends who did a Disney cruise last week as their schools were closed for that break

No, you must be wrong. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this thread . . .

The park is busy right now but forecast is not. From what is being said that resorts are quiet as well as dining availability being wide open. Again WDW is more than just parks, resorts are a big part of it too

Been practicing that method for 40 years when skiing out west. Next best part to reducing the wait time is striking up conversations with all types of different people.Well, I just checked and I see the Swiss Family Treehouse only has a 5 minute wait, so all is not lost.

I've learned to avoid Columbus Day weekend for this very reason.

Fall breaks happening
That is far too high a capacity for a coaster to have a two and a half hour wait, even on a Federal Holiday Monday.
