Typical lighter vs heavier periods
This page describes typical patterns. It is not live data and not a forecast. Specific dates can behave differently.
Typically lighter
- Mid-week days outside major school breaks.
- Weeks that are not near major U.S. holidays.
- Early in the day, especially near opening.
Lighter does not mean empty. It often means shorter waits and easier movement.
Typically heavier
- Weekends.
- School breaks and peak vacation windows.
- Major holiday weeks.
Heavier can mean longer waits, slower walkways, and limited dining capacity.
A practical way to read patterns
- Pick a season first.
- Prefer weekdays when possible.
- Check holiday proximity.
