SCARY CROWDS: Magic Kingdom Wait Times Experiment

hey everybody it's the all ears crew i'm molly i'm breedlove and we are back at the magic kingdom with another wait times experiment breedlove and i are here at rope drop and we are both gonna head in different directions to do seven of the most popular attractions in the magic kingdom i'm starting over in tomorrowland molly's starting at adventureland which one of us is going to get around the circle fastest with all of these summer crowds along the way we're going to share tips and tricks on how to best tackle the magic kingdom are you ready i'm ready i'm excited me too let's do it goodbye have fun at tomorrowland have fun in adventureland see you soon look at this they're literally holding the crowds in each of the lands and they just came on with an overhead announcement that at 9am when the park officially opens they'll open it up so i would wager most of these people are going to go to splash mountain first most of those people over by the castle are probably fighting their way to seven doors mine train and then good morning oh gosh it's happening thank you please enjoy all the shops and restaurants along main street usa while we prepare to open all of our landings at 9am thank you and have a magical day so that was the rope drop announcement letting you know they're not opening until nine but there's going to be a large crowd i guarantee breedlove is seeing a large crowd at the rope drop over at tomorrowland so as you can see we are doing rope drop today here in magic kingdom so this line here is no joke rope drop over to tomorrowland appears very popular i've been to the magic kingdom 4 times 75 but that announcement that they just made like brought a tear to my eyeball about let the magic again all are welcome here what is wrong with me unfortunately i'm skipping jungle cruise today there's so many amazing attractions here at magic kingdom we had to narrow this list down um to seven of the most popular so the attractions we will be tackling today pirates of the caribbean splash mountain big thunder mountain railroad haunted mansion peter pan's flight seven dwarves mine train and space mountain so since i'm starting adventureland way my first attraction will be one of my all-time favorites pirates of the caribbean and breed love is starting over in tomorrowland at space mountain all right our first stop for today is going to be space mountain i have a feeling a lot of the people that we are rope dropping with right now are headed there too all right we are officially in line for space mountain now this rocket ship roller coaster in the dark is as iconic disney thrill ride as it gets there's a 44 inch height requirement and this is on my list of must-do rides in magic kingdom okay i've gone ahead and started our timer but as you can see we're sort of in a pre line waiting to get funneled into what is the actual queue and at about the 13 minute mark we get to go inside rut rose seems like we might have run into our first little concern i think pirates is closed pirates of the caribbean has not opened yet so that's where i sh was planning to start for this video but you know what that's fine we're actually gonna go start at the attraction i recommend rope dropping at the magic kingdom which is splash mountain so we're gonna head there first and hope that one opened on time because it often doesn't a very good sign that boats are going down this attraction is very very popular but it often has a delayed opening there's been more than one video where i've tried to rope drop splash mountain and it hasn't opened on time so this is the attraction i recommend rope dropping because it typically does get the longest line in the park so we're gonna figure out where that line is it looks like they haven't actually opened up the official cue yet so don't be alarmed when you see all of these people and how far back they're going all right at 23 minutes we are boarding space mountain [Music] wow that was space mountain and that was super super cool and fun and sure enough checked the my disney experience app seven doors mine train currently has the longest posted wait time at 75 minutes so we're in for a wait being flexible is one of my best tips in the magic kingdom i normally tell people to rope drop splash and then when splashes down go ride pirates and juggle crews but hey today we're doing the opposite pirates is down so we're gonna go right splash instead all right we can officially start the clock now that they've posted a wait time and opened up the queue it's posted at a 20-minute wait 20 minutes that is not very long for splash mountain the last few times i've written splash mountain it's been at least a 90 minute posted weight and it's actually been longer most of the time so that's why i recommend rope dropping splash we are slowly but steadily working our way hi there through this very long outdoor queue i like to see this moving because the last time i rode this again it was a very long wait out in this hot hot cue wait i didn't plan on riding splash so quickly i'm not dressed for splash mountain one moment now we are dressed for celeste wait time update it's been 15 minutes as you can see i'm still outside needless to say i think this will be longer than 20 minutes but i also think it is shorter than whatever breed level but i do wonder what he's doing right now all right it's just a little bit over 20 minutes that we've been in line now i would like to just point out that the shirt that i'm wearing today is themed to this particular ride seven dwarfs mine train it's a movie that i love it's a ride that i love i think it's a really fun ride the whole family is going to enjoy together and i'm excited to ride it with you today it's been 19 minutes we're actually not too far from load so i think this will be about five minutes off the 20 minute posted wait which is excellent because this one again will get the longest line in the park and it will stay there all day long so [Applause] [Music] [Music] pretty dry thank you hat rain jacket and sitting in row four i call that the molly approach to splash mountain don't forget to hold your hat walking off splash pretty dry only about a 23 minute wait for when i got in line posted 20 minutes i will absolutely call that a win on splash mountain and another win pirates of the caribbean is back open so let's go over there just a little look at the wait times for you the park has been open for a little less than an hour pirates of the caribbean has reopened and has a posted five minute wait haunted mansion has a 10 minute wait big thunder mountain railroad has a 30 minute wait splash is already up to a 40 minute wait peter pan's flight and space mountain are up to 45 minutes and seven doors mine train is up to 75 minutes and i presume that's where breedlove is right now and at the 50-minute 5-0 minute mark we're entering the indoor part of the queue i don't know maybe we'll we'll get through this part in 25 minutes i think it might be longer than the 75 minute estimate we were given when we first got in line pirates of the caribbean is actually my favorite attraction in the magic kingdom it's a perfect disney attraction in my opinion it's a family ride so everybody can ride it but it still has a little bit of thrill it's got the iconic original music but i do like the new addition of the jack sparrow and characters from the films and it's just as a boat ride it's just like quintessential disney magic and an absolute must do it's been about six minutes since i got in line so it looks like that posted wait what's much closer to that five than that 25 so very excited to almost be boarding my favorite attraction in the park it's cotton jack sparrower after a fortune [Applause] strike your feathers dearie [Music] total wait time for pirates of the caribbean seven minutes so much closer to that five minutes than that 25 when i actually got in line so that is great news um it's already up to 45 minutes so we're doing well friends and now we're headed back to frontierland to go on big thunder at um about the 59 almost an hour mark we have been placed in row eight to now board the ride so not 75 minutes after all [Music] that was awesome love seven dwarfs mine train perfect perfect perfect fantasy land ride speaking of perfect fantasy land rides we are on our way to peter pan's flight big thunder mountain railroad the line is all the way back out here i'm looking for the cast member with the sign it's a posted 40-minute wait this one tends to move pretty fast so let's see if that's the case today it's been just over 10 minutes and i am headed into the main part of the queue we are moving and grooving for this queue now that i'm on the inside like we are not even filling up the whole thing the whole thing's not even open so 40 minutes maybe a bold face lie just 25 minutes later and my runaway train is going up so needless to say 40 was overshot a little bit and i am tickled by this information and ready to ride i love that attraction and i giggle like that every time i ride it because i literally feel like a child again on that one that was always one of my favorites as little kids and i feel that joy when i ride it now so happy it was shorter than 40 minutes that one does tend to move quick so you can usually get on that one pretty fast usually faster than the other two mountains in this park but we are two mountains down and headed to haunted mansion made it over to haunted mansion arguably the most popular disney attraction in the entire world posted 30 minute wait it was 35 on the app but this attraction is an opening day attraction here and what i love about it is the effects are so simple that most of them are the same as they were almost 50 years ago staying in fantasyland we do not have to walk far to get to peter pan's flight there's a 45 minute posted wait time right now okay great so we are nowhere near starting all the way back at columbia harbor house but i'm gonna go ahead and set our stop watch and see how close to that 45 minute mark we end up all right so molly is making good time over there on the left hand side of the park i just got word that she's in line for mansion at this point so considering they're not even using the extended interactive queue right now and that we're almost to the stretching room which is where disney stops the clock they consider the pre-show the start of the experience and i definitely agree i don't think we're gonna hit 30 minutes on this one we're already almost there i actually did a whole haunted mansion video where i go through all the easter eggs talk about some of that backstory explain how this is actually a murder mystery game explain how that game works we will link that for you so definitely check it out [Music] [Music] [Music] seven minutes seven minutes is how long it took for us to get into the stretch room well under 30. gotta love an omni mover keeps those vehicles moving now we're on to peter pan's life and it's about the 14 minute mark we have entered the indoor portion and have not gone through columbia harbor house i think that's a phenomenon of the past here's the second star to the right i have a tattoo if you turn it this way which i'm unable to do with my hand that's also the second star to the right getting close to the 15 minute mark and we're already inside i think we're doing well and we're only at the 25 minute mark and we are already boarding this is great news we're picking up a little bit of time here [Music] all right we can check peter pan's flight off the list i just heard from molly she has just gotten in line for peter pan's flight i am now moving on to haunted mansion the ride that she just completed very dim but it says 30 minutes but there's a huge crowd here all trying to get in peter pan's flight has a posted 50 5-0 minute wait definitely longer than i tell you to get in the peter pnp because this one will drop to 30 throughout the day so we'll see how long it takes it's also an omni mover so it may move really fast and we've had pretty good luck so part of it don't say it while i don't stand while i don't say it while i don't say emily can't contain it [Music] line update it's been 15 minutes and i'm already in the darlings nursery which is a really cool extension of the queue they added it's an interactive queue you can watch out for tinkerbell you can interact with the butterflies and uh it's almost in the living area so i don't think i'm gonna wait another 35 minutes just to get on board okay so we did not loop around after that loop over here there's some pew area that goes through these interactive sections and we did not get looped through there today we got sent right to the entrance door for the stretching room so this definitely means we're getting in there in a lot less than 30 minutes 24 minutes on peter pan's flight less than half the posted weight we are having a great day but it could all come crashing down right now when we go get in line at seven doors mine train in the middle of the day 70 minutes right now for mine train 7-0 this is a long one friends okay here we go 70 minutes on the clock one thing you do want to consider though with mind train as well as splash and thunder is that this cloud could result in a temporarily closure i've talked a lot about weather in recent videos because in the summertime in the hurricane season it rains almost every single day and if it thunders and lightnings uh they will have to shut down all the outdoor attractions so if this is a must do absolutely do not miss this is a good one to rope drop i still recommend rope dropping splash mountain and then coming over to this one in the later afternoon hopefully after the storm has cleared 40 minutes four zero minutes and i'm finally in the official part of the queue i don't know if i've only got 30 minutes to go we shall see this is a very hot cue to wait in in the middle of the day so i definitely don't recommend doing this one around noon like i am right now whoa the doors opened at exactly 13 minutes is that a creepy sign of what's to come all right here we go we're entering the stretching room [Music] okay so i actually got scared because we stopped in the dark for a long time and then a cast member's voice came on really loud all of a sudden telling us to stay seated because the ride was going to move again immediately and it created an authentic jump scare we've gotta head over to big thunder mountain railroad timer is set we're a few minutes in and we'll see how close to that 60 minute wait time posted on the my disney experience app we actually end up coming in at and at just about the 14 minute mark we are headed now into the actual queue for big thunder mountain railroad coming in at exactly half of the original posted wait time on the my disney experience app which was 60 minutes we are now ready to board big thunder mountain it has been railroad hour on the clock 60 minutes and i am still in the queue i'm right outside here where the interactive portion used to be i think it's going to take me longer than 10 minutes to weave through the rest of this queue i am assuming this one will likely be over the posted wait time we did big thunder mountain railroad how fun was that we're headed right next door to splash mountain great news the wait time has gone down to 60 minutes 6-0 we are right here in line again and we're reaching the official start of the q here at about exactly the seven minute mark and the posted wait time has now been increased to 75 minutes that happened after we got in line so i'm hoping that won't affect our wait time hopefully we'll be all right okay so this just started happening um this might change our plans a little bit i've got to put my camera away or it's going to get wet but i just wanted to give you a glimpse of what literally happened instantaneously welcome to orlando in the summer has been the most in 70 minutes since i got in line and as you can see i am still in the mine i'm very worried it's going to close because of the weather outside i probably have about 10 more minutes to go but we'll see drama rainbow has let me know it started raining thank goodness so i could put my hat and rain jacket on because i didn't want to get on the vine train and then get out there and realize it's raining as long as it doesn't lightning they'll keep the ride operating but this may throw a big wrench into our plan of him writing splash and me riding mine trade right now so i have about 10 more minutes to go so i would call this one at 80 minutes i think but we'll see if we get on i'm leaving after being in line for 75 minutes and i had about 10 minutes left to go so we're gonna call this one at 85 minutes and i'm headed to space mountain because all the outdoor attractions just closed for weather just letting you know i wouldn't advise what i just did leaving so quickly this storm looks like it'll be over pretty quick and if you've waited that long for an attraction you might as well wait 10 more minutes and see if the storm passes um however i feel like for this experiment we were close enough to the front to count it and move on to space mountain all right so i have gone ahead and gotten out of line i do not believe there's any way because there is thunder which means there's lightning that is when rides that are outdoors that go outdoors in disney world shut down i am going to move on to the opposite thing that molly did i am going to move on now to pirates of the caribbean do i look adorable i think the answer is yes and i think the other answer is pirates of the caribbean that's where we're headed now space mountain is my final attraction it's posted at 80 minutes eight zero minutes like i said when it rains and the outdoor attractions flows the indoor attractions lines go up so that's a very long line for space mountain but this one does tend to move quickly let's see if it takes that long as you can see it's basically already stopped raining so they just need the lightning to clear out of these areas but this is now a very very long line situation at your popular indoor attraction space is 80. mansion is shot up to 60 peter pan's flight is around 60. pirates of the caribbean went back up to around 60. what i recommend doing during these times is if you can grab something to eat during a thunderstorm that's a great thing you can do also some of those theater shows still don't have very long lines carousel of progress country bear jamboree enchanted tiki room make you feel our magic this is a great i bet you could have ridden carousel of progress and in the 20 minutes that that show exists this storm would have passed over you a great thing to do in the ring 15 minutes since i got in line and i'm headed inside the building well we've experienced a little bit of a miracle we made our way over to pirates of the caribbean and the entirety of the line right now is indoors which is amazing the posted wait time right now is 55 minutes we'll see how accurate that is i've started the stopwatch so as you can see the q does wind around back and forth indoors quite a lot it's moving very quickly right now sort of suspiciously quickly which makes me wonder if sections of the queue that are indoors have just been open at just under the 15 minute mark we are already at the loading dock this is amazing [Music] amazing we have completed pirates of the caribbean again that posted 55 minute wait time in reality ended up being 15 minutes however i did just check the my disney experience app and splash mountain is still down all i can do is walk back over here to splash mountain and hope i can just get in line and we'll just see when it opens and once it opens we'll see how long it takes me to ride it it's been less than 30 minutes and i am already up to this main part of the spaceport so i really don't think this queue is gonna take 80 minutes if you notice this little sign right here it says to let them know if you're a party of one i am a party of one and so i shall in fact let them know already up to the main part of the spaceport it's only been about 30 minutes since i got in line i don't foresee this taking a full 80 minutes to weave through this back and forth right here but we shall see the first cast member i saw was at the merge point where she was sending people left or right because there's two different tracks i let her know i was by myself and look i'm scooting along bypassing all these people and i'll fill in an odd number group so if you're alone it's a fun little hack that you can do don't forget to let them know 30 seconds in the single rider pin 44 minutes total and i'm about to board [Music] baby i love space mountain so much i waited about 44 which is about half of the posted wait time um i shaved about probably 10 minutes maybe off by doing the single rider thing at the top so if you're single rider there you go um but glad to see you was less than it was posted and now i'm off to find breed love because he's still sitting outside splash mountain i think all right so the wind has swept up a little bit and there was some lightning and some thunder and i believe the phenomenon we're now experiencing is that people are leaving the line they're running the ride with no passengers the posted wait time is 75 minutes they are keeping the ride closed for now once again 19 minutes in line well now we seem to be moving oh plot twist plot twist plot is are we gonna walk on splash mountain right now is that the finale of this video it's the 30 minute mark and we are headed up the stairs that's a nice little marker to show our progress on this ride i looked on the my disney experience app and some of the water or some of the outdoor attractions are starting to open back up so that means that breedlove will be able to jump on splash mountain soon i saw that that one's already posted a wait time so i'm just lingering outside jungle cruise as a little fun bonus adventure to see if i can be one of the first people back in the line there they just said open it up skips and there's applause is can someone come open it though so jungle cruise is undergoing a refurbishment at disneyland and the magic kingdom where they are turning it into uh they're removing some things and they're adding some stuff from the sca which is the society of explorers and adventurers which is the secret society indiana jones was in and dr albert falls from the ride and the adventures club and it's really really cool so you'll start seeing things from that pop up like there's an overturned boat there's new people on the totem pole running up to uh being chased by the rhino there's a couple other new things trader sam is gone but his sale he has a new establishment so go check that out too [Music] all right bonus ride at the jungle cruise um including me standing there for a few minutes it was 21 minutes posted 65 minute wait once they did pop a wait time up there and then but actually like going through the queue only 10 minutes so i will consider that a successful bonus ride especially considering the outdoor rides are already closed again so we just nailed that one friends okay now let's go find breedlove well there's some good news for us we are able to see they are loading people onto splash mountain we're getting on it and we're not far away and once again being a party of one is getting us on the ride a little bit early thank you and at 37 minutes we are leaving the boarding area and we're riding splash mountain that's 37 minutes including the time we waited in line and didn't know if we were going to get to ride [Music] we rode splash mountain we stuck to it and we succeeded friends it is now time to meet up with molly and hear about her day but that was really really fun checked off everything on our list we did we managed to actually get through it unlike epcot um technically i didn't ride seven doors mine train but i got almost to the front and i clocked the line and that's what matters and you put in the time there 80 minutes yeah 85 minutes yeah so do you know that the exact time i waited for 100 mansion was 13 minutes that's spooky um i have a confession to make yes i knew that you were still waiting for splash to reopen and getting in the line yes so i went and wrote jungle cruise oh that's great a little bonus i got a bonus ride i didn't carry physically online trade when i did a bonus jungle cruise well it'll be interesting to see how the actual minutes spent in line work out i mean clearly the moral of the story is if splash mountain and or seven dwarfs mine train are very important to you and your family do those first yes especially in the summer when it's bound to start raining my advice would be to yeah like you said pick the one of those that's the most important for you rope drop that one um and then the rest of the wait times are gonna start to drop in the evening time so if you're like willing to gamble on one of them wait until the afternoon after the storm is gone but my best plan would be splash thunder pirates and jungle first four rides of the day you could knock all those out real quick and have a lovely day hopefully this was helpful for you to have some rainy day magic kingdom tips and tricks let us know what other experiments you want to
