This is a graph of Lightning Lane wait times recorded
from the Disneyland and Disneyworld apps.
The wait time is the amount of time it takes a freshly booked lightning lane
to become redeemable.
The times are sorted into slots of 10 minutes to make processing them easier.
As of August 17th, there are 93,788,692
recorded times sorted into 3,455,365 ten-minute slots.
The
Crowd Level
adjusts how relatively busy of a day is graphed.
Selecting a higher mode means a busier day will be shown.
Use a crowd calendar or make your own estimates to see wait times
that are more relevant to your stay.
The Availability
shows how often Emerald was able to find a free lightning lane
at a certain time. For example, an availability of 90% means
you should be able to book a lightning lane at this time on 90% of days--
on the other 10%, there will be no lightning lanes left.
The Variability
shows how much the lightning lanes vary within each 10-minute window.
A variability of 30 minutes means that times will shift
from 30 minutes below the estimate to 30 minutes above the estimate.

On busy days, Disney will often run out of lightning lanes. Having no lightning lanes means Emerald can't display an estimated time for them. Always check the availability to ensure there will actually be lightning lanes available at your desired time.
