How this is worked out

Each park's day is forecast the same way as on its own calendar: how that weekday normally runs there, learned from our recorded wait snapshots, raised for public and school holidays, and shaped by the months that are busy or quiet at that park in particular. The Universal Orlando score is the average of the 3. A park is named as the one to do only when it is clearly lighter than the others; when they are within a whisker of each other, the square says nothing rather than pretend to a difference that is not there.

It is a forecast of relative busyness, not a promise, and the further out a date sits, the more it leans on the weekday pattern alone. Want today instead? Open live waits, and the planner will build a route around these crowd levels.
