These are USJinfo scores based on waiting times. They are not minutes, attendance or a forecast. Color only represents the published score; an empty cell remains unknown.

How to compare two dates
Choose a month to see its daily scores. Below the calendar, enter two dates to compare their values. A higher score is higher on USJinfo’s scale; it is not a visitor count.
Are the scores queue times in minutes?
No. They are daily USJinfo scores based on waiting times. They cannot be converted directly into minutes or treated as the wait for a particular ride.
What does a day with no data mean?
We do not have a historical score for that day. We do not replace it with zero: it does not mean the park was closed or empty.
What is the best day to visit?
This calendar lets you compare the past, but cannot guarantee what your visit will be like. Avoid treating one day as a rule for every year. Check official hours and events when choosing a future date.
How far back does the calendar go?
Available history runs from July 2016 through September 2026, with some missing days. Empty historical cells are not forecasts; an available beta forecast is shown in a separate section.
I am already in the park. Where can I check queues?
Open the wait times page to check individual rides. This calendar summarizes past days and does not show what is happening now.

Waits by hour
How averages are calculated
Waits are weighted by duration, capped at 15 minutes. Hours need 30 covered minutes; averages need three covered hours; highlighting a window requires four comparable hours. Gaps and closures are not zero. This is not a forecast.
