New Desktop View?

Are you not seeing this from that link?

No you can see it all in one place. I just did it yesterday.

Please hold.

Go to the main TP page

Click on the hamburger in upper left and select Disney World and then Crowd Calendar

Scroll a bit and o get past the explanation and you see future dates

Click on the little clock on the left under the month to see historical data

Scroll to your desired date and click see all details

Voila

Ohh ok so apparently through a bookmark / the url, you can still access this page in the old format:

https://c.touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/historical-crowds

And through here you can use the date jump to view predictions too, like this:

But, are they actually intending on keeping this old site live…? @len ?

Probably not

See above.

I think so, there was a discussion about it here:

Interesting

So you think they’ll maintain the new current site and also update the old?

Also on the new site you can actually compare days literally side by side??

Edit: I did it on my work computer but I don’t see the “compare dates “ option on mobile. I’ll check at home later.

They are maintaining the historical data on the old site. That’s all I really care about, not sure about other old stuff.

I meant historical data.

Will they update that going forward or will the old sites historical data stop as of the go live date for the new site?

I do this by having different days in seperate browser tabs/windows. Or, different parks in different browser tabs if I want to compare them.

Either way, when doing any sort of comparison, having as much information at a single glance as possible is efficient imo.

But once you select the desired dates they are all shown on one page.

I actually like that vs scrolling back and forth between dates.

I dug this up

I assume the data comes from the same database, so in theory you could have both versions of the website running. maybe.

I mean like this:

I’ll have multiple dates - either historical or prediction - open on different windows to compare everything from crowd levels to park hours, shows etc. This helps me pick which park to go to on a certain day, for example. There are probably better ways to do this but this is my nerdy way :nerd_face:

How do I add a plan to my dashboard now? I can’t see the option to do that.

Oh look. After nine months they finally changed the design. I’m still not impressed. Functions that have utility shouldn’t be made worse for the sake of vanity. That’s a wild business model IMO.

@bebe80 - Can you still access the crowd calendars in the old format? Is there a button on my desktop view that I can click that says “switch to old view”? Or in maybe in my settings? I would really love that option. I have zero need for the historical numbers but my original posts still matter. This site is going to take more time to navigate, more time to collate, and just be much less user-friendly (for me) in this format.

Not asking for the world. Just a “switch to old view” button.

I agree about the design, the old one is more efficient for me too.

But what goes for the business model, I imagine the goal is to attract as much subscribers as possible and a prettier looking site probably does that. Most of the functionality seems to remain but for users that are not hardcore planners, it might be more inviting.

As of now the old site is accessible through this url, see the links posted above:

No.

I know you’re big on copying and pasting into spreadsheets. I am still able to do that with the new crowd calendar. In one shot, I just copied a month of data for all 4 parks including: hours, CL predictions, and “what’s going on?”

I realize it may take more editing and deleting extra rows though.

Clarification. While you cannot see the old Crowd Calendar in a long term view. As @Mike_vndt said, you can see individual days still:
