About American Theme Parks
Plan smarter. Wait less. Spend wisely.
We believe everyone deserves a great theme park experience. Our mission is to give you the data-driven tools you need to skip the guesswork, avoid the crowds, and make the most of your visit.
Whether you're planning your first Disney trip or your fiftieth, we're here to help you make informed decisions based on real data, not opinions.
We've all been there: you plan a vacation months in advance, only to arrive and find the parks packed with hour-long waits for every ride. Or you hear about a "secret" best time to visit, only to discover everyone else got the same memo.
The problem? Most planning advice is based on anecdotes, outdated information, or oversimplified rules of thumb. "Avoid spring break" doesn't help when there are 50 different school districts with 50 different spring break schedules.
We built American Theme Parks because we wanted something better: a planning tool that actually looks at the data. One that considers school calendars across the country, historical crowd patterns, special events, seasonal pricing, and yes, even the weather.
Crowd Calendar
Day-by-day crowd predictions based on historical data, school schedules, events, and more.
Wait Times
Real-time and historical wait times with hour-by-hour patterns for every attraction.
Budget Calculator

Trip Planner

Our crowd predictions aren't magic - they're math. Here's what goes into our model:
Historical Wait Time Data
We analyze millions of wait time records to understand crowd patterns by day of week, month, and special periods.
School Calendars
We track spring break, summer vacation, and other school holidays for major districts across the US.
Special Events
Festivals, holidays, race weekends, and park events that impact attendance.
Seasonal Patterns
Understanding how crowd levels vary throughout the year based on weather, ticket pricing, and travel patterns.
Transparency note: We track and publish our prediction accuracy. You can see how well our predictions match reality on our Accuracy Report page.
We aggregate data from multiple sources to provide accurate, up-to-date information:
Wait Time Data
Queue-Times.com and ThemeParks.wiki APIs
Weather Forecasts
Tomorrow.io weather API
School Calendars
Public school district calendars
Ticket Pricing
Official park pricing data
We update our data regularly to ensure you have the most current information available.

- Mobile app: Native iOS and Android apps for on-the-go planning
- Personalized recommendations: AI-powered suggestions based on your preferences
