Tokyo Disney crowds in November: public holidays vs weekdays

Autumn gets booked as the quiet season. Counted day by day, November sits clearly above the yearly average. The month has few public holidays and still runs heavy. We take it apart by weekday and by where the year’s peaks fall.

We counted all 60 days of November. The month averages Fairly busy against Normal for the year, and the average itself sits above the yearly line. 8 of the year’s 32 busiest days fall here, 25% of the peaks. Thursday is the lightest weekday at Normal, Saturday the heaviest at Busy.

Of the 60 November days still ahead, the table lists the 40 quietest. The levels are what we set in advance, not counts of visitors through the gate. The charts count all 60 days of the month.

November runs above the yearly average

November has 60 days. It averages Fairly busy against Normal for the year, 1 level apart. The average itself sits above the yearly line.

By level the month spreads across 3 bands, and the lightest of them (Normal) takes only 38%. Just 1 day came in below the yearly average. "Autumn is the quiet season" does not survive November.

8 of the year's 32 peak days sit in November?

8 of the 32 busiest days in the year land in November, 25% of them. November is only 8% of the days we cover.

The month takes far more of the peaks than of the calendar. Ahead of today the busiest is Nov 7 (Sat) at Busy, the quietest Nov 23 (Mon) at Normal. The year's busiest days shows where the rest of them fall.

Is it the public holidays?

November has 4 public holidays. That is all of them, and the month still carries 8 of the year's peaks. Holidays are not what builds the pile.

The heaviest working day is Monday at Busy, and there are 10 of them. 4 holidays cannot lift an average that far.

Drop the holidays and count again: Monday does not fall. The heaviest weekday outranks Sunday. Crowds by weekday takes it from there.

Thursday to Saturday: 2 levels apart

Thursday averages Normal and Saturday averages Busy — 2 levels apart inside one month.

The 43 weekdays average Fairly busy; the 17 weekend days Busy, 1 level apart. Same November, different level, just by moving the weekday.

Quietest first: Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday. Changing the weekday beats changing the month. How the months compare ranks them; Park crowds and room rates handles the price side.
