Hi all...:wave:
I have spent a few hours pouring over the Unofficial Guide's website and also numerous forums containing threads about it, but I am still a bit confused about the crowd calendar.
I understand how it works and how they get their data and all that, and also have a general idea of how accurate their predictions are, thanks to the many wonderful posters in this forum and others. However, I still don't understand what the numbers signify in wait times.
For example, I will be going to HS on a day that has a 1 rating sohappy. The UG website states a 1 means "Is the park even open? Mickey, are you there?" but I have no idea what that means. Will the park be practically empty? Will we walk on to the rides over and over? Or is it wait times of 15-20 minutes per ride? (the second being the more likely case, I think, but I have no idea which is why I'm asking.) :shrug:
Below that info, it says that for a 1 Toy Story Mania has a peak of a 90 minute wait, but the last time I went to WDW, that ride wasn't there so I have no idea what the implications of that are...is that an exceptionally short wait time? Also, just to be clear, is peak time around noon?
Has anyone here gone to HS on a 1 day? What was it like?
My other day is a 5 at MK...any idea what those days are like? (EDIT: The website says "Reminds me of when I was here in the '80s" but that doesn't tell much to people under 20 like myself! LOL)
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
