Latest security line waits?

Disney does a really good job of moving people into the parks - even with the new random metal detector screening. I've never waited more than about 5-10 minutes at worst to get in. Most times, it's more like 5 and under. I'd say if you figure 10-15 , you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

Just got back Friday. Waits were not bad, honestly. I went through bag check in Epcot and MK and had short waits both times. Only got selected for metal detector at MK. Didn't take a bag into DHS, but the lines were very short there. We went out around 10 am or noon every day.

Thanks for the replies! I was there around Easter and it seemed the waits were at least 30-45 minutes up until about noon. I think they were just rolling out the metal detectors. Sounds like its running smooth. Thanks again!

Went to Magic Kingdom on 9/3/16 (going to Epcot Friday so can tell you about that this weekend)
There were several lines with a lot of people in them, but we choose a line with only 2 people ahead of us. Look at all the lines, before you get into a line. One of our group of three was randomly chosen for the metal detector, but that really was only a few minutes wait.

Thanks for the update! Headed down Sunday for 10 days!

We just got back. Security lines were 5 minutes at the worst for those with bags. Without bags, you probably will go through metal detectors so be ready for that. No problems for us at any park with long security lines.

Maybe it was just our "random" luck, but a member of our group was pulled for the metal detector every single time we went into a park. It varied who it was, but we never just walked into the park. It didn't take long at all, but just be prepared.

Security lines at EPCOT yesterday at 8:35am where one or two people in line at each line - the line to get in was very slow moving - it just takes a while to scan and fingertip approve.

Yes, b/c wannna be cops understand random. I was randomly selected 30 times in a row at the airport. Randomly pulled over. Just depends who they are looking to harass that day.

I forgot about all of this nonsense. I might have reconsidered going to WDW for vacation, and chosen another destination. NFL/Cowboys adopted standards like checking every guest who comes to a game, so I've stopped going to games. Watch for free on TV.

Last week at Epcot, I was randomly selected to go through the metal detector AFTER bag check approval. Slow day I guess. :shrug:

It HAD to be a slow week, I was randomly selected at Animal Kingdom - no security lines at all there when I went.. I think they were bored....

Disney employees with nothing better to do.

I was suprised at how much tighter security was at Universal than it is at Disney. EVERYONE goes through metal detectors there while at Disney (especially MK) didn't even seem to be 15% of guests. They do move quickly but I would give an extra 15 mins for security check

Just leaving WDW now. Took us 30-40 minutes to get through security and the gates twice this week. When we arrived later, closer to 11, it was maybe 10 minutes or so.
