Disney Parks Are Nearly Empty and That Seems to Be the Plan
- The wait times are five minutes or less on many rides
- ‘It seems to be slow by design,’ amusement-park tracker says

Jay Scutt, who runs the Park Hoppin’ YouTube channel, visited the Animal Kingdom park on Sunday, the day after it opened to the public and found it lightly attended. “I walked on everything,” said Scutt, a frequent park goer. “I’ve never seen the park like this.”
