Lately, due to social distancing measures, it’s become a regular occurrence that ride lines at Disney World zigzag in weird and wonky directions!
Peter Pan’s Flight Queue
From waiting inside a restaurant to go on Peter Pan’s Flight to queuing up at Muppet*Vision 3D for Rise of the Resistance, we never know where we might end up! Today in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the line for Kilimanjaro Safaris took us on a wistful stroll down memory lane, to the outdoor queue space at the Festival of the Lion King!
Walt Disney World reopened with limited capacities throughout every building on the property. All gift shops, restaurants, rides, and shows were reduced to accommodate physical distancing between travel groups.

Upon reopening, Disney World had a reduced capacity of 25% and the theme parks attracted fewer crowds. It was recently announced that the theme parks were raised to 35% and we’ve seen an uptick in crowds over the holidays. Attractions are seeing increased wait times and Disney has been adjusting experiences to accommodate the lines. But what about restaurants? While Disney World hasn’t shared specifics, we have seen a quiet increase in capacity within the restaurants. So, what does dining at a Disney World restaurant look like now that the parks have been reopened for a few months?
As the end of 2020 is just around the corner, we’ve seen a year of fluctuation with new health and safety measures being put in place and even stay-at-home orders being issued.
