How accurate is Undercover Tourist for crowd levels?

[Deanie1]

I had planned to go to USF on Sun, Dec 2 and to IOA on Tues, Dec 4. I might just have to reverse this. On Dec 2, USF is red (not recommended) but IOA is green. On Dec 4, they are reversed. Does this make any sense? I wish they would explain why. We will have park hoppers but my sister has a sore knee so we don't want to walk any more than we have to. Has anyone used UT crowd predictors? Other sites have not shown this level?

i looked at that crowd calendar as a lark for my october stay at the darkside last month.

i never use those calendars but was curious as newbies have mentioned them over here.

what they stated for the darkside parks was way off for the 10 days i was there.

just was not accurate.


usually the regulars that go to the darkside are the best bet in giving you advice on park crowds and ways to avoid it.


families usually follow the trend of a week vacation with sunday being departure day for returning home.

that is one reason the sundays have lighter crowds.
but, summer trips don't always fall into that theory.


i would have to look at the UO calendar to see what events are going on that sunday to see why the crowd calendar states it is a bad day to visit there.
could be a planned entertainment event/show, short hours, etc.....??

Well, on Sunday, there is the Mannheim Steamroller playing at USF that is only there on weekends. For IOA, I thought that maybe more locals would go on the weekend as opposed to during the week.

I would love some input the regular Universal park people out there!

VERY inaccurate. I've used them for WDW and UO. I just stick to EasyWDW and Orlando Informer's predictions.
