Theme Park Attendance Tendencies

[Disney Lover JJ]

Regards to All:

I have read in many guidebooks hints about when throughout the year parks are least crowded, average attendance, and most crowded. I've also read that parks are supposedly more crowded on days that there are extra magic hours....I will be staying in a WDW resort and wanted to gather your thoughts regarding this claim that parks are most crowded during extra magic hours...should I take advantage of the benefit...or should I avoid the parks the days that the have extra magic hours? Any suggestions would me most appreciated.

Many of us go to Morning EMH (and sometimes HOP).
Some of us like the evening EMH at certain parks.
Some of us avoid EMH parks.


NOBODY can tell you what WILL happen with ATTENDANCE on any given date, any more than they can predict the WEATHER (which WILL affect the attendance much more than EMH.)

EMH is FREE.
I go.
If I need to, I can always go elsewhere.

Welcome to the DIS.

I have followed TGM (see banner above) for the past few trips, he is right on. I stay away from EMH and follow the sequence to avoid them. Works great.

This is a very good website for crowd trending and analysis. It also has a crowd calendar for each day.
