Data updated · rolling 30-day window
Averages use only readings while the meet was open with a posted wait. An hour needs at least
10 readings, and a quarter as many as the meet's best-covered hour, to count; and a meet needs 500 readings in the window to be ranked here.
Rotating meets can change characters or close early, so check the day's schedule in the Disney app.
