Daily Report for Monday, September 1, 2025
Executive Summary
Labor Day Monday showed remarkably light crowds across all four Disney World theme parks, with average wait times 17% below the 30-day rolling average. Despite being a federal holiday during what's traditionally considered low season, attendance patterns aligned more with a typical late-summer weekday than a holiday.
Key Findings:
- Unexpected Light Crowds: Overall average of 19.5 minutes vs. 23.6 minutes (30-day average)
- Magic Kingdom Dominance: Significantly lower waits (15 min avg) compared to other parks (23+ min)
- Technical Difficulties: The Little Mermaid attraction experienced a catastrophic 9.3-hour downtime
Tomorrow's Forecast:
Tuesday, September 2nd should see even lighter crowds as Labor Day tourists depart. Expect continued low waits with potential for some of the lowest crowds of the year. However, monitor attraction reliability—several rides showed extended downtime patterns that may persist.
