Small DHS update 2.28.15

[dreamscometrue]

Thanks so much for the update! That photo is beautiful! It's great to hear that the attractions are in very good shape. I know it'll be a few years, but I can't wait until 2020 when I assume this park will have quite a bit more to offer, to go along with some of my favorite attractions that are there now. (Hey, that's pretty much what I said the other day about DAK, except 2017 instead of 2020. Nice to see those to parks are currently, or will be, getting love and expansion. )

What about The Great Movie Ride Presented By Turner Classics Movies?

I wonder how often this happens or was it just a glitch on wait time for when you were there?

I went on Splash with a 105 minute wait, it was only 60. It might be that they had twice as many logs out and it wasn't changed yet.

The difference in these wait times is a lot but wait times, in my experience, are almost always at least a little less than what is posted. It is much better to tell people an hour and then have them be happy when it is "only" 45 minutes rather then telling them 45 minutes and have them be angry when it is an hour. It's a very old customer service technique.

That I can understand but 95 minute wait when only 35 minutes is a big difference. I will look at wait times a little differently the next time there.

Just hope it isn't raining in two weeks!

That's the Scotty approach.

Well, like the saying goes, a rainy day at Walt Disney World is better than a sunny day at work.

I don't know...when it is sunny and I'm at work, I'm getting paid. When it is raining at WDW, I'm paying someone else lots of money to get wet...

It isn't a mistake, often Disney will post longer wait times to discourage people from entering a queue if they want to disperse crowds or are having other issues.

I find the wait times on the Lines app are much closer to the real wait times that Disney's supposed posted times at the attractions.

In this case it is possible that the rain is causing the wait time discrepancy. If all the people who booked FP+ have decided to leave the park or not come at all due to the rain, but the system would still expect them to turn up for the FP causing the wait time to be lower than expected.

We've had wait times be anywhere from "just over posted time (by 5-10 minutes)" to "right on" to "well under". We've never felt that wait times were grossly understated, but have had everything else. We've ridden Seven Dwarves with a 75 minute posted wait time at the same time (start of Wishes) more than once and it has been between 45-80 minutes.

Back to DHS... liking the view, ready for the spires to return.

LOVE that view!!

I have a habit of timing my waits compared to what is posted and almost always find the waits are shorter than what is posted unless there is an issue with the ride.

Well once my wait for Soarin was listed for 50 minutes and we ended up waiting for 2 hours. So I guess it can work both ways.
