Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Calendar Report – January 25 to 31, 2015
The Universal Orlando Crowd Calendar predicted ‘2’s, ‘3’s and ‘4’s last week and that is exactly what we saw. However each day we seemed to miss by one. Wait times jumped around between the three levels with the only exception being Monday at Universal Studios Park. ‘A Celebration of Harry Potter’ event occurred on Friday and Saturday but wait times were not adversely affected.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Report:

It’s no coincidence that events like “A Celebration of Harry Potter” occur during times of the year when our crowd calendar predicts below average levels. Universal wants to attract visitors during a normally low season. But as you can see, wait times were not affected last Friday.
