How this is worked out

Each day starts from how that weekday normally runs at each park, learned from our own recorded wait snapshots, and is raised for the public holidays and school breaks of the places its visitors come from and for the months that are busy there. It is a forecast of relative busyness, not a promise. Every day is on the Disneyland Paris crowd calendar, with the lightest park to do each day; the planner builds a route around it.
