Sorry, the heat must have addled my brain. MK. We just left and are going to try going back at 4pm—got tired of massive waits for anything. We only got to do 4 rides before lunch (7DMT, Splash—got stuck in a cleaning cycle just as we were about to board, BTMRR and Peter Pan). Would have been a much better day with FP.
Maybe will see you there!

With fastpass we would typically did 9-10 rides in that amount of time (note we were in the park at 8:20).
Adding that the hour wait we had for HM was a posted wait time of 35 mins. So yes everything is an hour regardless of what the app said. That makes 5 rides today.
Nope, I agree with you there—we got in line at Pirates exactly three minutes after you (still posted 25 mins) and it was exactly a 35 min wait as well. Shortest line of the day. It was also considerably less congested in the walkways in the late afternoon than the morning. Sorry if my posts have been Grouchy today but I feel a little annoyed at everyone on these boards saying how the wait times are half of what is posted—that was not true for a single ride today. Every wait time was on point or longer except one (Space mountain was 35 mins with a posted wait of 45–but that was at 4:30 pm after a lot of people had left the park.
Thank you, I'm going to take a look. We arrive in less than 3 weeks.
. Watched your Frozen opening and another one recently with no problems either that night or the next day. I click on your signature link and then when on FB click "video" in the sidebar and all of them pop up.
No need to apologize, everyone has a different perception, what might be fine to me can be crowded to others and all of those opinions are valid, the problem is when someone wants to change another's mind.
Thanks! We are going to Epcot so I know it won’t be too bad because even if it gets crowded (and I expect it will) the kids still only have a couple must-do rides there so won’t be in line again all day. For me the main “attractions” are mariachi cobre and visiting at least one F&W booth, so hoping for a nice change of pace from yesterday.
I do agree with the more people in line, less compliance observation. I noticed a lot more people ignoring the increased spacing of markers for switchbacks, meaning we were often much closer than 6 ft from the people in the next “lane.” And at one point in the HM line during a long pause (cleaning cycle or malfunction, not sure), I did a little visual poll looking at the 10 groups closest to me in line, and 6 out of 10 groups had at least one person not wearing their mask (combination of eating snacks, below the nose and hanging off ears).
We observed several attraction vehicle cleaning stoppages. Some longer than others. The crew at the new railway ride @ MGM had it down to an art. Worked well as a team in general there IMO.
From experience going often, rope drop will get you on 1 or 2 of the big rides in less than an hour, then last hour of the park will get you on 1 or 2 big rides as well, in an hour.It so strange to me, that except for the big rides in each park, a lot of the recommendations say you can go later in the afternoon with similar wait times. I'm "trained" (LOL!) to get PPO and get there early; not sure my mind can grasp the temporary-state. Since we don't go for another 25+ days... gonna to keep watching. Thanks to everyone for the updates/info - so helpful... especially the transportation situations with the buses/skyliner/lyft/etc. We usually stay at POR, and are at POP for the first time - now we can better plan for a smoother/quicker way to the park and not be shocked by all the lines!
Haven't been there yet but expect there could be a big difference in the way 4 or 5 rides by afternoon are experienced. It would be in the balance between what portion of time was spent on lines vs time to freely roam the park. Standing in a line for 40% of that time will feel much more pleasant than 90%+.
