On Easter Sunday, the first day the sisters were appearing in the Magic Kingdom, the wait time was 2.5 hours immediately after opening and climbed up to 4 hours wait time mid-day.

The lesson is to not give up if every day of your vacation is reserved right now, keep checking and a time may become available.
