Best place to go for crowd levels.

I know things are a bit different now but I'm wondering where the best place is to go to check out crowd levels and dates for things like spring breaks and other times that may make the parks busier.

Can't post the link but Undercover Tourist has a good one.

Allears posts the daily wait times. I used that to plan for this trip. Just keep in mind that right now there isn't always consistency.

easywdw.com has good analysis of crowds and strategies to visit, which are always better than a number on a date.

I’d check out a few different ones including touring plans. WDW Prep school is also helpful. They include special events and holidays that could effect crowds. They both also list park hours which helps when planning. I pay for the membership with TP but I think the crowd calendar is free.

Touring Plans is always my go to.

I don't think any of the sites really know what the crowd levels will be on any given day as we are still in uncharted territory. Only Disney knows how many park reservations are gone for each park on any given day and they aren't giving out that information.
The sites such as Allears that post wait times can be useful.
But there are so many variables. Do they stop the rides and clear cars - depends how long the ride is down. How many cars do they have going, what their staffing level is. All of these things have a huge impact on our waiting time, maybe more than how crowded the park is on any given day.

Touring Plans is worth the $15/yr in any year that you may be going to Disney. I'll be renewing in the spring for my Oct'21 trip.

They track data scientifically and are usually pretty good for historical data. Issue is now that there is no historical data right now so they are all guessing based off very recent trends. So the data isn't great so I wouldn't plan park days based off of it.

The usual busy dates still hold true, although not quite as dramatically with the capped capacities.

Would agree, paid for it for many years and never regretted it.
