Wed, Nov 11: 10/10, packed; Thu, Nov 12: 5/10, moderate; Fri, Nov 13: 5/10, moderate; Sat, Nov 14: 6/10, busy; Sun, Nov 15: 4/10, moderate; Mon, Nov 16: 5/10, moderate; Tue, Nov 17: 5/10, moderate. The lightest is Sun, Nov 15. Parky's forecast on a 1 to 10 scale where 5 is a normal day for this park, from park hours, event nights, Lightning Lane prices, school breaks and holidays, recomputed every night and graded against real waits.

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.

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.

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.
