Animal Kingdom crowd questions

When is Animal Kingdom least crowded in the next two months?

Parky's calendar has Tuesday, September 29, Wednesday, September 30, Thursday, October 1 as the lightest days coming up at Animal Kingdom.

When is Animal Kingdom busiest in the next two months?

The busiest days coming up are Sunday, September 27, Saturday, October 17, Saturday, October 10.

What do the crowd levels mean?

Each park is scored against its own normal day. A 5 is a typical day for that park; a 10 is among its busiest, a 1 among its quietest. The score tracks how long the park's headline rides' lines run between 10 AM and 6 PM, so it measures what you'll actually feel in line.

How does Parky predict crowds?

For roughly the next month, Parky reads what the parks themselves publish: operating hours, event nights that close a park early, and date-priced Lightning Lane, which Disney sets by expected demand. Past that, it uses the calendar: weekends, holiday weekends, and school breaks for the districts and regions that fill each resort, from Florida and Southern California to New York, Texas, Canada, and the UK.

How accurate is it?

Parky measures every park day after it happens and grades its forecasts against it every night; each park's page shows its own track record, and parks where the calendar isn't reliable yet say so. Today's number is different: once the gates open it updates from the headline rides' actual waits, and by early afternoon it lands within one level of the final answer about 70% of the time, 85% by 3 PM. Days more than a month out are an early outlook, shown hatched.
