I know it feels weird asking for advice about the competition, but are there any other sites with crowd calendars/wait times that you follow? If there are, how do you think they compare to TP?
I only started following Touring Plans because that’s what the UOG cited in their Disneh and Universal books. I recently discovered Queue-Times while searching for indicators about SeaWorld
I don’t remember the names of the ones I used for Dollywood but they were very accurate and predicting crowd level.
Thrill data
I use them to be super accurate down to the approx 5 min wait. It works better than TP has for me in a very long time. I don’t really need TP anymore but when I have tried to use it, it always overpredicts what we can fit in and we’re all adults so fast walkers and no constant pottying or wheelchairs to slow us down. It’s been really wrong at every place I’ve tried to use it the last few times Disneyland, disneyworld and universal Florida. It consistently thinks waits are less than what they are. But still use it to loosely plan for fun and for showtimes and I enjoy reading the books and the forum.
Okay, so that’s a vote for the wait times
But what about the overall predicted crowd calendar?
I took a look around Thrill Data and frankly it’s a hot mess to navigate
