Our trip is coming up next month, and I'm confused about the heatmap at TP... yes, I know crowd calendars are useless now, and I know we should just expect wall-to-wall pretty much all the way through March, but can someone explain this?
One of our park days is marked a Level 10 day, and this heatmap was posted up to 2/23:
This is is the SAME DAY and the same Level 10 prediction, posted 2/24:
But this one is my favorite. Different day, also a 10, also posted 2/24:
(I hope I'm not violating any rules by posting these - I left out the actual days these apply to in case that's against the rules.)
I scrolled through and I see bizarre heatmaps. Days with red and dark orange labelled "8" and THE SAME DAY, different park, all green and yellow also labelled "8". This used to be pretty logical - lots of red = 9 & 10, lots of green = 3-5 (not that that means anything anymore).
I'm not changing any plans at this point. But I'm thoroughly confused how TP expects people to use their tools when they make no sense. A flat estimate of Level 6 or Level 10 is helpful, but to change the heatmaps so drastically and not change the Crowd Level... either there's a major glitch, or they're recalibrating their entire system to not show solid red every day for the next 6 months, or.... I don't know. Does anybody here know what's going on?
