It seems like the numbers are REALLY low compared to other sites. Am I missing something?

I believe touring plans goes by wait times and some others go by number of people in the park relative to park capacity.
Theoretically, if rides/activities were operating at max capacity and there were enough activities, then that could happen.
If a park yanked cars and employees, you would see the reverse.

Have you looked back to the February 2025 crowd levels to compare?
If they don’t match too good, I lean towards the year ago numbers.

What other sites are you looking at? TP and WDW prep school are the ones I trust the most. They look pretty similar to me. I think the week of 2/16 will be very busy due to Presidents Day, Mardis Gras, and northeast vacation week. The end of the month has Run Disney. You could also read Disney Tourist Blog narrative but last year, I’m glad I ignored his outlier prediction that the last week of February would be very busy b/c it ended up great at light to moderate. I usually just avoid 8’s/red and higher and deal with the rest.

I agree - President’s Day week on here is at 4s and 5s (for Epic) while other sites have that week at 8-9?
How do those other sites get their data? Are their crowd levels determined by wait times like Touring Plans or by number of guests? Are they just penciling in 8s and 9s because it’s a 3-day weekend? Are the levels based on a normal curve or are there a lot of 8s and 9s because “it’s always crowded”?
It’s all of these questions and Becky Gandillon’s Disney Data Dump article (I know this is the Universal board) that shows the actual crowd levels as to why I trust Touring Plans over all others.
