Crowd Calendar Next 10 Days?

[shburks]

Just got a second message back from Fred at TP:

Ok, now I am suspicious, that is a drastic change and highly unlikely. I will have to check our park hours information and get back to you.

I'll let you know what he says!!

The numbers on our dates (Dec. 14-22) changed today as well but not as drastically as yours. However on 2 of our days the previous best park has now become the park to avoid. It has really messed up my plans because I have hard to get dining ressies on both those days. I generally NEVER visit the suggested park to avoid so not sure what I will do now.

Thanks for keeping us updated shburks. I will be anxiously to hear what info you get.

The crowd calendar for my dates just changed back to the previous version. Maybe it was a glitch in their system.

As I was working on our january 4 day trip plans the numbers changed from 4, 7, 7, and 7 out of 10 to 4, 9, 10, and 9 out of 10 . It was like that for about 30 minutes and now they all changed back.

I suspect a glitch.

Maybe they're preparing for Occupy Disney World to set up shop...

I noticed the same issue with the crowd levels for my trip in November, week 3. I think there must be some kind of mistake. There is no way a Thursday, with no EMH and a notoriously slow week is busier at Epcot than the last day of Food & Wine. I think there's an error with their stats. I sent an email to the webmaster earlier this evening.

Like I said, Fred (from Touring Plans) said he'd take a look at it and that apparently some number was put in incorrectly! Apparently, they've fixed it because the 9.4 for EPCOT for next Monday is back to a perfectly manageable 1.9!

Whew

I am so glad that they went back to the way they were. I started to freak for a second, the new numbers really messed up our plan. I am glad that it was just a glitch.

Exactly. Whew!!!

It seems the glitches were just that and I'm glad the changes have been fixed! I did just send an email to TouringPlans as the crowd estimates for this weekend, Oct. 22-23, seem a little strange.

On Saturday, MK is at 9.5 and Epcot at 8.8. Then on Sunday, both parks drop to 1.3. Is such a drastic drop not uncommon for WDW parks on the same weekend? Sunday does have MNSSHP, but I didn't think that would keep the crowds away during the daytime hours. Sunday was planned as a non-Disney day for my trip, but I don't mind switching to a Disney day if the crowd estimate of 1.3 is accurate. If I hear back from TouringPlans, I'll post back here.

I think that numbers that are up now are accurate. They are similar to what was listed last week. MK numbers are low for Sunday because of MNSSP. From what I read, most people without hoppers will go elsewhere, because they want to get the most out of the day. We are going to MK on a MNSSP day, just for that reason. We are not staying for the party.

There have been several days of my trip for Oct 28-November 5th that have jumped up. I got the email this morning.

Ditto!! I'm absolutely stunned that 11/12 is at a 10....the resorts are full that day? Really? I can see the parks being crowded for F&W and Jersey week, but a 10 ????

I am not sure what is going on over there lately. If you read the comments for the actual days, a lot of time it doesn't even match up with their latest revisions. They need to finish their analysis rather than going back and forth like this. It's like someone pushed a panic button over there or something

no way! it's gotta be glitching again, but then again MK did open up EMH till 3am, add a MSEP, and a second F! was added so they must be expecting crowds, maybe a cross over w/ Jersey week and ending of Food and Wine is going to pull in some major crowds.
