Since March 2017 I've been automatically collecting wait times at all 4 Walt Disney World theme parks. Using averaged wait times of key attractions, I've created a 1-10 scale for the resort as a whole and each park.
Due to complexity, and shifts in crowd patterns in the last few years, I do not predict crowds for future dates.
My past crowd calendar is similar to other crowd calendars created for Walt Disney World. The crowd rank (1-10) is not actually based on the amount of people in the park, rather the average wait time of key attractions. Because Disney does not publicly disclose daily attendance figures, wait times are the best public indicator of how busy a park is.
A key attraction is a major attraction that most guests visit. I do not take into account newer attractions as they don't have enough data and their waits are usually high and consistent day to day.
The average is calculated from wait times during 10AM - 5PM daily, not including periods of downtime or when Disney does not report a wait.
Each attraction has ranks generated on a 1-10 scale using daily averages before a specific date. Currently the scale is based on wait times from March 3, 2017 to April 30, 2019.
Park ranks are generated from the average of that park's attraction ranks. This calculation method allows exceptionally high waits at a specific attraction to not outweigh the rest of the park. The overall resort level is the average of attraction ranks in all parks.
