These figures come from posted wait times collected every five minutes across 91 days, then averaged by hour, weekday, and month. They describe typical conditions, not a forecast for a specific date: park hours, weather, and refurbishments all move the real number. For a specific day, check the crowd calendar or today's live waits.
