For those currently in the parks: curious as to what the crowds feel like? How many Ontario license plates are you seeing in the parking lots?
As a Canadian, I know that a large number of Canadians have their spring break this week. As with years past, touring plans predicted 7 or 8 crowds during the Ontario Spring Break and the actual crowds have been a '10.' Similar with other crowd calendars.
My theory is that crowd calendars are not properly weighting the 'international affect' when they make predictions. In January, it sounds like the unexpected bump was in some part due to South American tour groups on their break. And every year there is an 'unexplained' surge to level 10 crowds during the week that most Canadians have Spring Break. I understand that most crowd calendar's take into account the Spring Breaks by different U.S. states. However, Ontario's population alone is 13.5 million - larger than all but 46 of your states. And several provinces, not just Ontario, have their break this week.
Curious, @lentesta . . . how much is the Canadian factor considered? I noticed that last year during Ontario's March break touring plans also predicted 8 crowds but actuals were 10.
