Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator documents a solo visit to Magic Kingdom to test the accuracy of posted ride wait times compared to actual wait times. After experiencing difficulties booking a Disney Wish cruise through Adventures by Disney, the creator enters the park alone to ride several indoor attractions. The video highlights various park updates, including blue roof paintings in Fantasyland and refurbishments in preparation for the 50th anniversary. The creator observes mask requirements in indoor queues and physical distancing markings throughout the park. During the ride comparisons, the creator notes that Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had shorter waits than advertised, while Pirates of the Caribbean wait time was more accurate to the posted estimate. The visit concludes with a meal of buffalo chicken tots from Friars Nook and a sighting of a character cavalcade. The creator concludes that posted wait times are not always reliable and suggests further testing to determine why certain attractions, like omni movers, process guests more efficiently than others.
