Bear in the Magic Kingdom Causes Massive Wait Times

A wild bear wondered into the Magic Kingdom today, leading to the closure of Adventureland, Frontierland, and Liberty Square. These closures wreaked havoc on the wait times at the park today, leading the average wait time to be its highest in the past 6 months! Adventureland and Liberty Square reopened at 12:31 PM. As of 1:05 PM, Frontierland, including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, is open.

Blocks of white indicate ride closures. With a limited number of attractions available, wait times grew significantly for those that were open.

How extreme did Fantasyland and Tomorrowland get? Well, it is not often that the Carousel reaches a 35 minute wait time!

Wait times will likely remain above average for awhile today, as the backlog of Lightning Lane slots gets processed through the attractions that were closed. Many of these attractions filled up availability before more has appeared (indicated by the gray in the graph below).
