Crowd Levels And Wait Times At All Disney Parks
by Recent News
So far this year we’ve spent about three weeks looking just at crowd levels and wait times at all four parks. Actual crowd levels for 2007 are running +/- 15 minutes from our predictions, but approximately half of that comes from two days in January (the 24th and 25th) when Orlando was hit with wind, rain, and temperatures up to 15 degrees below normal. Below is a sample of our predictions and actual wait times from the parks:

Average Error |
Excluding the two days with bad weather, our average error would be 11 minutes. We’ve collected much more data than this, and we’ll have it posted as soon as we can get it all keyed.
