My DS10 just randomly check on MDE the wait times for rides when we aren’t there. He loves it when the wait times are low. He will tell me such and such is only 10 minutes... 'CAN WE GO??" too funny. One of these days I’m going to jump in the car and head over (3hours later) and ride that ride...lol :mickey:
Been there, done that and going back!!! See ya real soon !!!
I do sometimes. Usually I do it about a week or so before we go. I like to get a feel of what attractions are currently drawing the biggest crowds and what time at night the lines start to get short on some of the older rides.
I know, I know there are rides that always draw huge crowds (Soarin' ; Toy Story Mania, etc) but you would be suprised how much the line can drop off on some of the older attractions in the early evening.

Our next trip is Christmas week (23rd-28rd), out first ever Christmas visit to WDW; but I don't even want to know the wait times! :shake:

I was actually "logging" the wait times of each park approximately one year from our next trip. I wanted to get an idea if FastPass+ would necessitate us reserving a FP for rides where we normally wouldn't need one.
This is all the homework necessary for a successful vacation in WDW anymore.
Back to the OP's original post: my DW, DD11 and I play a game where we attempt to guess wait times to see who gets closest.
