Attendance Stats at the Park

[Ben Pearce]

Does anyone have a link or site that shows the daily attendance stats at the parks during different times of the year?

I realize the busy days on the holidays are crowded. I am interested in seeing what some of the weeks leading up to the those holidays are like. Or even after. Spring break now seems to be a few months long but are some weeks better then others?

It's not historical data, but www.touringplans.com has a Crowd Calendar that estimates crowd sizes for upcoming dates. I believe it is partially based on historical data. You need a membership to see anything beyond 30 days however.

Good Luck

Disney keeps daily attendence numbers very confidential. They only release annual figures.

If you have the current 2008 Unofficial Guide Book to Disney World - you can access the data for free at that site - you just have to answer a few questions - basically - what's the 2nd word on page 435 type of thing

Honestly, I don't think the historical data is going to be very helpful right now. Attendance is way down. We had lunch during our backstage tour last week with 3 CMs who have worked at WDW from 1.5 to 18 years and they all said it was very, very slow in June and July this year. They have not seen it this slow in a long time. One girl works at AK and she said they are sending people home early because the crowds are so small. Everyone assumed the economy has the most to do with it.

I was there June 1-6 and I experienced the lowest crowds I've ever seen in my eleven trips. I foresee lots of specials in the next year to try to entice more travelers.

I keep trying to respond to your note about OKW today, but since I don't have 15 posts they won't let me send it to you. I have the dates 10/15-17 or 10/19-21. Let's hope you see this.

Scarletlady, I think you responded to the wrong posting. I am also in the same boat and only have 5 postings so I could not respond directly to you...At least we are getting our counts up..lol
