More infoFriday of the July 4th holiday weekend, with elevated travel and Florida schools already out for summer. Yesterday's actuals ran well below prediction at Busch Gardens Tampa and Universal Studios Florida but above prediction at Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios; today's score is recalibrated accordingly, corroborated by this afternoon's wait-time snapshot. Typical Florida summer heat with afternoon storm chances (30%). The 22:12 UTC snapshot shows only 4 attractions still reporting (avg wait 0), consistent with Animal Kingdom's earlier evening closing time relative to the other Disney parks.
