Disneyland Wait Times Board

bryceran · Post by **bryceran** » Feb Fri 02, 2007 2:13 am

Hi guys. I have been trying to find a chart or graph or something that gives me an idea of part attendance better than the normal "don't go on a saturday if you have never been to Disneyland."
I am making a spreadsheet of the wait times for attractions. If you could please let me know if you have a picture of the wait time board, know someone or somewhere that does and provide a link or e-mail it to me that would be awesome. I just need a date and the pic. I know Mousetimes.com has some, but I count three from this month alone and haven't found any from before that time back to Oct.
Thanks for the help,

Bryce

We have a test site up at disneylandwaittimes.com
Check it out and let me know what you think. I appreciate any extra data you can find.

That is a great idea! Kind of like RideMaxx, but free! It will be really good when you get more data, Sorry I can't help. One thing you may want to account for is the time of day. Ride times fluxuate throughout the day, so that would be helpful too.

Good luck with your site!

Can you also send it to my phone (subscription idea) so I can check it while I'm in the park? [hypothetical]

That's a really good idea. Or at least a "lite" version of the site so people can view it on their phone.

I am glad you like the idea. I am still working on everything. I have talked to some people about doing the thingw ith their phones. I am personally not knowledgable enough to know how to do that, but I am working on it. I am still working on a few different things to help the site, but I have to catch up in my freelance editing work.
If you go to the park anytime soon take a pic of the waitboard for us.

Indeed it is an interesting idea, and would love to try it out.

I have used Ridemax a few times and found it can to be a great place to start - but you still need to be able to make adjustments when there are unusual circumstances. Having something on the phone would be a great way to help make those adjustments.

I had a problem with the site (disneylandwaittimes.com). I looks like I am able to get the index page but nothing else. I'd love to see this site works as this would give valuable informations.

Yeah, the site currently kind of sucks. I am not a web person and I am trying to post some images today or tomorrow. Currently I am putting up just screen captures of excel docs until we get our fancier stuff up on the site. Sorry about that. Which dates are you most interested in?

Okay... I put some time into it today and decided to just do it simple until the heavy stuff is ready. I updated it and I think it looks better overall.

Works great... and I love the graph from 2006. If you ask me, this is where the most interesting stats are...

The site will eventually have something better... I just have to put some more time into it. Glad you like it.

It's time for you to learn a little more design / html / css

For graphics, if you don't want to spend for (or "find") photoshop you can get "gimp" or "Paint.NET"

http://www.w3schools.com/ has great tutorials for HTML and CSS.

http://www.oswd.org/ Here's open source free templates you might want to try looking at.
