Disney crowd forecast 🍁 [Autumn visitors] 105 of the 182 autumn days are quiet — but only through September?
Counted one day at a time, autumn turns partway through. Some of its months sit under the yearly average and some never get there, so the quiet label covers only part of the season. Here is where the turn falls.
Autumn is not quiet from end to end. Across the 182 days, 105 of them (58%) come in below the yearly average. By month, the quiet stretch covers September and stops there. Wednesday is the quietest weekday, Saturday the busiest.
The table lists the 40 autumn days still ahead, quietest first. Each level is our own forecast for that autumn date, not a count of visitors. The charts count all 182 days of the season, so the totals do not match the table.
