Reading over the Here Now and Just Back thread, almost everyone (both those who came home happy and those who returned upset) has agreed that crowds of late have been overwhelming. And yet, Touring Plans says that the overall crowd level for every day so far this month has been only a 3, 4, or 5. What gives? I understand that TP bases crowd level on ride waits, not necessarily number of people in the park. But I'm still surprised that seasoned Disney vets can describe a crowd as massive and stifling--like nothing they have ever experienced before--and TP can tell us that it was only a 3. And I'm more than a little terrified about what that means for trips over the next several weeks, when TP is forecasting crowd levels of 9 or 10. Again, what gives?
EDITED: And just to clarify, this is not a situation where TP predicted a low crowd and ended up being wrong. I'm not using TP's crowd predictions. I'm using their "historical crowd" level--that is, the number that they assign to the actual crowd the next day, after they had a chance to see how big it really was.
