It makes sense to me that crowd levels will drop with increased wait times. Doesn't TP use ride wait times to determine crowd level?

With increased hours, many families (especially those that take the afternoon break) will come to parks earlier in the morning, leave parks earlier for their break and return later (fireworks times are later).

You are spreading similar crowds out over extended periods of time. That has to impact wait times.

Received my TP park crowd update Monday that Studios has dropped from 9 to 7 for June 3-9. A few minutes ago, I received notice that Studios has extended hours every day that week from 9 to 9:30. Hmmm.....

Same thing happened for our trip, June 18-24. Crowd levels were dropped for all parks too except MK.

So last year I didn't get my AP until October, and I was not one who got to see the preview for Pandora but was with someone who did. ha!

My questions assume that the same or similar would happen for TSL, if/when that magical email comes out, what happens if it's not there? Like, is there a way to log in and still request a time/date (or whatever)? Or do you need a special link...etc.?

Thanks for indulging my uber-hypothetical questions, allll the speculation is welcome!

You'll need the link. Last year for Pandora it was posted in the Pandora thread.

Weird that projected crowd levels would drop and park hours extended.

Those are normal closing hours for HS historically. You can see previous years' calendars on Kenny the Pirate's website and probably some other places as well. Later in the month HS is being bumped to 10pm which is a little interesting.

 

[MommyinHonduras]

Where are you seeing 10pm for HS?

*Wait you meant June's hours, I was looking at May. I see them, starting the 24th.

I wonder if Tsmm will open prior to the land? I'm really hoping it opens sooner than end of June but if not I hope to ride tsmm at least

TSMM isn’t closing as far as we know. It is going down to one track in April though.

I just can't imagine it being one track until the construction of the land ends...if it opens say end of June that's a lot of time for only one track...how would they have more than one track open when the entrance is inside the land...I think it's going to be interesting how this all plays out....

We might get lucky and get our opening date tonight at D23 Expo Japan.

 

[rteetz]

Boo hiss!

Personally I am thinking a June opening now.

I'm hoping they do some AP previews in early June. I have my eye on a quick trip!!

Yeah, it's getting a little too late to announce a May opening.....

Maybe Disney folks should pay more attention to likely acronyms before they name something? Now we have Alien Swirling Saucer and Monsters Inc Laugh Floor.

And if anyone thinks I am joking, many of us know that companies/organizations consider likely acronyms all the time. In fact many times companies/organizations choose names purposely to align with a desired acronym.

Seriously!! Whenever I cringe at someone trying to shorten All Star Sports I think - at least Disney knows better now - and then they come out with Alien Swirling Saucers and prove me wrong :\

I had thought maybe that TP dropped the crowd levels based on snow days in the east - since I am first week of June, some may have to delay travel plans until later due to changing school schedules (TP had actually raised crowd level for my week a couple of months back). Then, of course, I was hoping that Disney changed to a later closing time at the Studios because something "new" may be opening? None of the other parks had their closing times change.

Time to wish on that star.

Well I can only speak for Alabama, our governor issue a state of emergency which allow schools to request not to make up days, our system had 3 days built in, we missed a total of 3 days, the first day was a waste, it did nothing up here in North Alabama, the other 2 days were ices/snow. We are only making up the first day and they aren't even using the snow days! We had 2 half days, so we are going full days those days to make up for the 1 day missed. So our school year did not get extended out. Also years ago when swine flu was going around, schools shut down for several days, they did tack on days at the end of the year but said parents could send a letter in if they had vacations already planned and would be excused from making it up, which we did.

All that to say, I wouldn't count on snow day necessarily to make crowd predictions go down.

Ok I literally just spit my water out on my screen at work when reading the acronyms, I so totally never thought of Monsters Inc Laugh Floor for that
