Statistics! Please answer soon!

Does anyone know about how many people visit Disneyland? All I need is an approximation for another post... day, week, month, year... whatever. Just something to go on, thanks!

Well quite frankly this depends on the season. Between Christmas and New Years there are about 70 thousand people. From Jan 2 to about Washington's B day Weekend about 20 thousand. On washingtons B day weekend 55 thousand. After that til collage spring break there are like 36 thousand. From then until Easter about 60 thousand. After Easter until Memorial day about 32 thousand. From after Memorial day to the end of Summer there are 60 thousand. When September starts until Thanksgiving 20 thousand. Thanksgiving weekend brings in a large 55 thousand. Between the end of Thanksgiving and Christmas there is a low of about 18 thousand. I hope that answers your question.

Good grief! Does it ever answer my question. Thanks so much for the in-depth answer... I bow to your superior knowledge!

I am just curious as to why you wanted to obtain this knowledge. Maybe to plan a trip?

Nope. It was a statistic I needed to prove a point in an online debate I'm in the middle of. I'm against the closing of Yellowstone National Park for the winter time, and the argument goes something along the lines of: Discovery channel, or Nova (I forget whom) did a recent report on the Environmentalist victory of Yellowstone's winter public inaccessability.

During the wintertime, some 200 thousand snowmobiles tour the park. I have gone on the snowmobile trail on several occasions, and am devastated by Yellowstone closing that event. The contention is that it is hard to breathe because of the fumes from the snowmobiles (among other supporting contentions), and I was stating that in all my treks there, the air was crisp and clean, and that 200 thousand is a number that sounds staggering, but when you stop to think about it, any well traveled road country road would have similar numbers. Disneyland (one of my points of traffic stats), for instance, sees numbers like 200 thousand in the span of a month... and Disneyland is not known for being a family environment choked with exhaust.

You may or may not be in favor of Yellowstone closing, but I'm grateful for the info just the same.

Thanks, Buzzboy.

BTW: are you really an imagineer? Sounds great. If you're an artist, click on my fella floating on a pencil, and have a look at my art if you'd like.

Also, "road country road," is not a very good representation of my grammar (its normally much worse).

Thanks again!

When you see Imagineer by my name it means I am a staff member on the site. The head people (Mike and Jen) are senior Imagineers. Actualy it is my dream to become an imagineer. That is very interesting about your argument. I guess you figured out that my statistics were on a daily basis. Welcome to Mouseinfo by the way!
