Disney theme parks remained surprisingly undercrowded during late October and early November, a pattern not seen since the pandemic. Crowd levels at various parks stayed notably low, with only a few exceeding level 2 on specific days. The Touring Plans predictions underestimated crowds by an average of 1.8 levels, indicating ticket sales were much less crowded than anticipated. Downtime for attractions rose to summertime averages due to rain, with EPCOT experiencing the most downtime issues. Posted wait times were inflated compared to reality, with Journey Into Imagination boasting posted times that were almost double actual waits. Holiday overlays like Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will debut soon, potentially increasing crowd levels.
Key Points:
- Only one park exceeded a crowd level of 2 on any day this week, reaching just a level 3.
