I know about a half dozen WDW crowd calendars, with two I really trust but what's the best DLR crowd predictor calendar? We're looking to go in the next few years and are open to whatever time has the lowest crowds and best weather. Thanks!
Also, the crowds conditions at DLR will be affected by the school calendars (local, greater SoCal, Northern CA, OR, WA, NV, UT, AZ, etc.), convention calendars, AP blockout calendars (this is big!), holidays, DLR promotions and events, weather, etc. We have threads on this board that discuss this. For example:
One problem with crowd predictors is that they rely on past years' data. First, holidays and events shift year to year. Second, Disney changes promotions which may spike crowds or shift them. Even data from 2-3 years ago becomes less of a predictor very quickly now, but I'd be willing to be that those crowd calendars look back even farther.
As an example you can run 2 sides of BTMR but during low crowd periods Disney will often run just 1 in the morning. That means they're reducing capacity by 50% even though the crowds haven't been reduced by 50%. It's also why 8am opens are better than 9am because less people will get up and go to the parks that early.
94. Sep 23, 2023. #12. We have been able to predict crowds pretty accurately by looking at a combination of things: 1. Magic key black outs - obviously the more keys that are blacked out the less busy it will be. 2. Single day ticket prices - the lower the cost of a single day the busier it would be.
It seems between touringplans, dad's guide, undercover tourist, and ***** I get seriously different numbers for end of May/beginning of June.
Does anyone still trust crowd calendars. If so which one do you consider the most reliable. Disney offers a crowd calendar as they charge more for tickets on more popular days. They also block out more periods from most annual passes. In the end, how you tour the parks is much more important than when your visit is.
Has anyone found a Crowd Calendar for Disneyland Hong Kong? Doing research to figure out best time of year to visit, crowd level wise, and see if it will work with making a stop in at another park. I know Saturdays/weekends are typically the busy times for the park but I can't find any info...
He doesn't do the crowd calendars anymore but he still has the best info, IMO. That said, I think crowd calendars are really only good for seeing all the parks/hours/special events/EMH, etc all in one place at one time in an easy printable sheet. There are way too many variables anymore that make it hard to predict crowd levels per park.
Messages. 3,093. Jul 5, 2022. #2. I either use Touring Plans or WDW prep school. Both are good resources but more times than I can count, have gotten the crowds predictions very wrong. What I like about TP is that they have the park hours, special events, morning/eve hours, parades, fireworks times, etc listed all in one place so I really use ...
