scorp111 said:An interesting theory, but reality is the number people on the boards visiting in a specific time frame is not necessarily a good indicator of overall park attendance, two main reason why:
1. A higher number of people that are visiting the park soon visit the boards anyways in an effort to get caught up with all the changes etc. So at any point in the year, it seems like a lot of the posters have an upcoming trip planned in the very near future.
2. A lot of posters visiting this board also try to avoid the busiest times of the year when possible. Sp a large number of them, would plan to go in off-peak times.
Regardless, I will be there from April 27th-May 8th!

I am aware that this survey is not a great indicator of overall park attendance during that time period, but I thought by having a thread like this, it might help some people who have questions. I know that attendance will most likely be up this May because it is the starting month for the celebration, but lately I have seen quite a few people concerned about the crowd size. I thought that maybe by getting a "semi-random" sample from people on the forums it would help to understand what might be the busiest time period during the month of May.
