Where does the Autopia wait-time data come from?

Mickey Alerts records Disney's posted standby waits at Disneyland every minute and summarizes historical patterns in 15-minute decision windows, always as ranges with sample sizes — never single-point guesses.

Where can I see the current Autopia wait?

This page shows the latest posted wait next to our model's estimate while the park is open, and the Disneyland wait-times board shows every attraction at once.
