A ride that opens late is measured from when it first runs; a ride that stays closed until park close (often a scheduled early closing) is listed separately, never counted; whole-park pauses (weather, park closures) are excluded. Shows, meet-and-greets and rides closed all day for refurbishment are not counted.

How SupaPark measures this
Everything on this page is SupaPark's own data, collected for this page's date: posted standby waits and ride status every few minutes, same-day Lightning Lane availability every few seconds, dining availability continuously, Disney's published park hours, and NWS weather. The crowd level is SupaPark's forecast (graded publicly at supapark.com/accuracy); everything else is measured. Posted waits are what the park displays — SupaPark does not time queues. Each section shows its own as-of time; nothing is filled in when a source is missing. At 3 AM ET each day is frozen into a permanent dated page.
