You definitely can't compare crowds of 2020 and 2021 to any point in recent history. They stand alone as low points. 2020 was like a low crowd dreamWhile that may be true, I was there last week and the crowds were MUCH higher than last year at the same time. Historically, this week is pretty low with kids going back to school in many states. However, the number of Europeans has increased dramatically--which makes sense, all those postponed 2020 trips. I would estimate that about half of the conversations I overhead last week had a British accent--which is always fun to hear!
2022 feels to me to be about to 2019 comparisons points
