Their own disparities between "Predicted" and "Actual" have been growing larger, suggesting that their current method of predicting "crowd levels" may not be as accurate as it has been in the past. The only substantial change has been the addition of the FP algorithms and they have caused increased guest turnover in the parks, downward pressure on wait times for high demand attractions and upward pressure on wait times for lower demand attractions.

In other words, they need a better way to guess crowd levels because their guesses are less accurate now than they used to be.

That's probably true. But I would guess as they get more and more data with the new FP system, their predictions will get better and better. (They have pretty smart people working there who can figure this out.)

Also, a 3.1 this year could be more crowded than a 3.2 last year.

Gotta love a numbers nerd! Now, if you,ve got the itch, you could calculate the average change in standby wait times for my favorite rides year over year and the yes/no on whether the dining plan is a good choice for a given list of ADRs. . . . I could go on and on with "Disney math!"

yes! this is right up my OCD alley
