Any idea why DHS is mostly 9’s with a couple of 8’s that week, when the other parks as low as 5?
Per Disney’s calendar Rock N Roller Coaster should be open by then, and there are no other scheduled refurbishments.
In recent months, including so far in March, HS has seen higher actual CL than most of the others. Looking at the CL predictions for the next few months, including June, TP is keeping HS higher. It’s not just the week you asked about.
When TP last updated the WDW CL (about Feb 1), they explained in their blog that they found their predictions before the update had been “okay for Hollywood Studios (although skewed towards underprediction)”. Their revised numbers bumped HS higher than most of the others.
Remember, CL numbers reflect the wait in attraction lines, for key attractions during prime touring hours. HS does not have as many attractions (and they’re very popular ones!) as some of the others, yet is a very popular place to be, especially with SWGE. And some of those popular attractions have been plagued with downtime or running in limited form (ROTR, TOT).

Sorry for the delayed response and thank you for your information.
If I’m reading this right, its more about them adjusting their prediction numbers for DHS, and not so much that the crowds(and wait times) will be that much bigger?

Yes, they definitely adjusted their HS numbers up. The other parks had predictions that weren’t so off.
No, they did the adjustment based on evidence the wait times were bigger.
Wait times can be bigger for multiple reasons, but mainly for bigger crowds. Wait times can be bigger if key rides are closed or down for extended times. That pushes all those people into waiting for the other attractions. HS, with fewer attractions than MK, can’t absorb the down-ride people as easily, so waits go up much more.
Also, I wanted to make sure you realized the one week with your dates is not an anomaly. HS has had the highest CL most weeks for a few months.
