Good to know for this day
How we tested
- On that day, at the entry time, we built the same plan the route planner would, using only the real posted waits up to that time and the forecast after it.
- After each ride we re-planned from the time, place and rides left. Waits are what the app showed when we joined the line.
- The comparison uses the same day, rides, meals, walking speed and posted waits.
- The day shown is the middle day of those we tested, not the best one.
Popular rides: those averaging 40+ minutes from September 20 to 30, 2026. Small rides add to the count too, so we show both.
