It was a potential for Disneyland where Winnie the Pooh is now

Obviously apparent after reading the article. But my opinion is that Disney needs more of this type of thinking. Rather than trying to develop new IPs how about reimagining some of the old. As a good example would the crowds get in an uproar if they closed (or repurposed) the Jamboree if they added the dark ride?

As long as the new thing is better - replacements haven’t had a great track record (see Imagination, Journey into)

I’m totally on board with that Imagination was a revamp in my context although misguided. I’m thinking more of a new attraction reimagined apart from the original.

So I just received an email from TP updating crowd levels for the week of 3/6-3/12 the levels show dramatic increases from levels of 5 and 6 jumping to 9-10! Anyone know why this might be???? I'm considering canceling our trip as it sounds like holiday level crowds.

It’s Mardi Gras week and the beginning of spring break.

Just to be clear, do you mean the same week forecast has gone up from the previous forecast? Or up from the week before?

It’s Mardi Gras week and the beginning of spring break.

Well known dates. Makes you wonder why they weren't already factored in.

If there's anything the world needs more of, it's the country bears.

Unless it's another country bears movie, definitely don't need that.

I think part of the reason I'm so excited for runaway rail is because it's a dark ride. I'm always up for more dark rides.

Are you sure it's Mardi Gras week? I thought that was end of Feb this year because Easter is so late.

Mardi Gras is March 5th this year.

I got a Touring Plans email re: my next few trips (Presidents Day weekend, Easter weekend and the weekend before Memorial Day) which have all increased in crowd levels. I got a second email dropping crowd levels on my September trip. I think they made changes across the board, not just for that Mardi Gras week.

This may sound like a silly question but are crowd levels of 9 and 10 during the year similar to Christmas crowds? I'm helping friends plan a trip which coincides with new levels of 9-10 in March on Touring Plans. I saw pictures of the crowds last week and if they're like that I would discourage them from going as I just cannot see crowds like those being enjoyable!

I'd agree with this. I got an alert this morning for my spring trip in late March dropping the levels. I think it was just a release of adjustments in general.

I had one this morning for January 28-February 2, and some are quite substantial. Anyone know what’s going on?

Re: TP, they probably updated their algorithm with more data. Usually they'll post a blog article about any major update so you can stay tuned to their blog page to see if that is forthcoming. Last year they did monthly updates but I haven't seen once since Oct so they've probably been working on a major update and this is it.

It's weird though because I also got an email and it's for next weekend, which is the marathon. Previously they had MK at a 5 and they just updated it to a 9. Duh it's going to be a 9 on marathon Saturday!
