How predictions work

Every date on every calendar gets a score — Walk-On, Moderate, Heavy, or Peak — built from day of the week, holidays, seasonal travel patterns, and park-specific factors like Halloween overlays and Christmas festivals.

These are model-based forecasts for planning, not live sensors or official attendance. They tell you which weeks to target — not how long you’ll wait for one ride at 2pm.

Forecast accuracy

We check our Walk-On → Peak forecasts against observed scores derived from daily median posted standby waits at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Knott’s, and Universal Studios Hollywood. We publish real numbers — not marketing accuracy claims — and say so when history is thin.
