Attendance Turnout Chart?

[Alice&theMadHatter]

Is there some kind of chart or statistics paper that shows what the number of people that go to the parks are everyday?

The question sounds akward but I dont know how else to say it. I just want to know when the lowest attendance days are....

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.touringplans.com/BestDays.htm this is the best source of that type of information and in fact, any WDW information. I would recommend purchasing the book Unoficial guide to WDW.

This chart says the best days for Epcot during the Food and Wine Festival is the weekend. I always heard that the weekends in Epcot were packed in October during this festival...mainly because of the locals. Can this be correct?

Just keep in mind that just because a day was low attendance last year doesn't mean it will be this year. Hundreds of things can change year to year that affect attendance -- weather, tour groups, special events, holidays, etc. Attendance charts will tell you trends, but you could still show up on what the chart says is the lowest attendance day of the year, only to discover that there are 5,000 cheerleaders or the 4000-member Smith Family Reunion visiting that day.

Hmmmm...I was in Epcot for a couple of Food & Wine weekends last year. The crowds weren't noticably bigger, as I recall, although having the food stands in World Showcase did make moving a bit more difficult. Mexico-to-Norway was pretty bad, if I remember correctly.

The good thing about F&W, and the Flower and Garden, is that they're spread over several weeks, so you don't have one huge throng of people in the parks. An extra few thousand people in Epcot would be barely noticable, if it all, because of its size and the capacity of its attractions.

In any event, I'll check to see whether we've made any specific adjustments in the calendar for Food & Wine.

Hope this helps.

EWWWW...wish I hadn't gone to that site! The two rides DS's want to do the most had over an hour wait last year the first week of June. Oh well, I keep hearing great things about fast pass and EMH....let's hope they really work!!

Disney does not release attendance numbers. The only thing we know is based on estimates. It is really nearly impossible to predict attendance based on previous years. The best advice, is that weekends and holidays will nearly always be busiest. Also if a park is having EMH that day, good chance you should go somewhere else. Try to avoid MK on the weekend, use those days for other things or AK and Epcot.
