TouringPlans.com - accuracy during pandemic

[cgattis]

One thing to keep in mind: I believe the 1-10 scale is calculated based on the distribution of crowds, so a 1 is "in the 10% least crowded days".

If you calculated the average wait times for every day of the year, a 1 would be in the least busy 36 days, a 2 in the next busy 36 days... and a 10 would be one of the busies 36 days.

But that doesn't mean that a 1 is 1/10th as busy as a 10. The least crowded day of the year could still have a 45-minute wait for 7DMT or a 90-minute wait for FoP!

The specific wait times for individual apps are more useful in planning your day; otherwise the 1-10 scale is marginally helpful, mostly in choosing between park days on a longer trip.

Yes, I was just about to post this. If anyone wants to know how to interpret Touring Plans’ data, I’d recommend actually going to their website and reading it. Lots of inaccurate info being stated here. That said, the question was about how well it’s performing these days, and I haven’t been yet post-covid, so I can’t speak to that. I do know I’ll be using it though; I will use that plus Disney info to make the best guesses I can.
