Python3program that records wait times and extra information at Walt Disney World, FL. Created this program to plan a family trip at Walt Disney World.

Requirements

  • Python3 (might work with Python2, but not tested and will not be supported)
    • BeautifulSoup4 installed
    • urllib3, it is a default python module, but on some installations it isn't
  • Internet connection
  • Rights in the folder you're in (especially on Synology's DSM)

Instructions

  1. Download the latest version of pyParker.py in Releases
    • It is recommended to put it it's own folder, because it will create automatically a folder data at the place where it executed
  2. If you don't have Python3 installed, install it
  3. If you don't have BeautifulSoup4, install it manually or with pip (pip install beautifulsoup4)
  4. Open Terminal/CMD/Powershell, navigate to pyParker.py's folder (using cd) and run the script by entering python3 pyParker.py.

Using it

A folder data will be created, inside this folder there will be sub-folders for each park. Inside these folders you will find a file for each attraction and a [INFORMATION].csv file, this file contains the date, the day of the week, the opening hours and Extra Magic Hours. To interpret the data, you will have to use an external tool.

To have it log wait times automatically, you will have to schedule a task (using Windows Task Scheduler, cron, Synology's Task Scheduler, etc.).

TODO

(This list is made in chronological order, it may change)

  • Create a repository that will have the waits I logged by commiting changes automatically.
  • Transform all the web scraping in a module.
  • Make a TUI to create a script for automation (currently the script needs to be modified manually to use on a Synology).
  • Take data directly from Disney, this will provide accurate data at the time specified.
  • Support Disneyland, CA and Universal Studios, FL (same website, same webscrape, just need to implement it)
  • Support other parks (Six Flag and others).
  • Script that will convert it in a graph instead of doing it manually.
  • Implement a GUI to select parks and to create a graph.

Credits

Data taken from Laughing Place, there's a way to take them from Disney directly, it will come one day.
