How this crowd calendar is computed

• 37 million+ real wait-time measurements. We record standby waits roughly every 5 minutes for every attraction at every Disneyland Paris park, continuously since April 2025 — no survey panels, no guesswork.
• 175 tracked park-days at Disneyland Paris. Each park-day is archived with its full hourly wait curve, park hours, and holiday/event context — coverage runs back to March 2026.
• Crowd scores, not vibes. Each date's 1-10 score is the day's measured average wait ranked against the trailing 60-day baseline for Disneyland Paris, recency-weighted so recent shifts count more.
• Forecasts use a 3-layer model. Future dates combine a day-of-week baseline, trailing 7-vs-30-day momentum, and a seasonal calendar layer (Spring Break, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other peak windows).
• Back-tested nightly: 51% average accuracy. Every night we score the previous day's predicted crowds against the waits we actually measured. Across 175 scored park-days, daily predictions have averaged 51% accuracy.
