- The crowd calendar is 25AM Parks's estimate based on historical data and holiday patterns, helping you pick less crowded travel dates. It is not official attendance.
- Are crowd estimates accurate?
- Crowd estimates are reference values, not actual attendance. Major events or weather can cause variance. Check live waits on your travel day.
- How do I use the crowd calendar for planning?
- Open your target park page, check the calendar's crowd levels (very low, low, moderate, busy, very busy), and prefer very low or low dates. See https://park.bluemarble.day/guides/how-to-read-crowd-estimates.
