Planning tip from this week

Based on this week's data, Sunday, November 1, proved to be an ideal time to visit the West Coast parks, with Disneyland Park hitting a weekly low of 10 minutes. If you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Thursday remains a strong candidate for lower crowds; three of the four Florida parks hit their lowest averages on Thursday, October 29.

Additionally, keep an eye on seasonal overlays. At California Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark maintained the highest average in the park at 56 minutes, significantly higher than the park's overall average of 19 minutes. If you intend to ride seasonal favorites, prioritize them early or expect a wait that doubles or triples the park's average.
