***Official November 2013 - Part II*** (that's right....we're that popular!)

Neither. Both. You have to understand something about how the numbers are calculated and recommendations are made to know which one works for you on a given day. I never used TP recommendations because I didn't like the rules they were based on, so I'm not sorry they got rid of them. Having said that, I don't/can't always go by Josh's recommendations and in those cases I like that TP has park level crowd numbers. It gives me a better way to compare between days. On the other hand, if I'm going to Food & Wine, TP numbers are useless because they're just based on wait times.

So the answer is, it depends. If that all sounds like too much work for you though (I'm a data geek so don't mind me) use Josh's recommendations; they'll steer you in the right direction most of the time.

I do think, for that reason, TP is going to regret getting rid of the recommendations entirely.

I found, for my dates, they weren't all that different. My plans look pretty good according to both and I'm not changing a thing!

O.K. I will try this. I wasn't really worried about it looking bad, just the feel of it for my sensory challenged children. Hopefully the emory board thing will do the trick. If not, I guess they will have to go without the grey surround.

If I can get my phone back from my kids I'll take pictures to show you.

I put in undercover tourist in the search and it came up

I didn't know there were so many apps out there!

 

[sunset7132]

Thanks! I'm going to check this out and see if I want to spend the $8 for the full app. My DH is going to hate all this, I can tell already!

I have downloaded about 6 different disney apps through this year countdown lol. They are fun

I think I'm going hands free in the parks. I'll be risking not being able to adjust MB FP+ times if needed within the park but I just really don't like being "connected" on vacation.

DS let himself get freaked out after watching it last night. Despite watching it at least 6 times, he needed his Daddy to sleep with him and STILL asked to watch it again this morning!!!

Yeah. I don't get him.

Will I still get email updates if my TP crowd calendar changes? I'm beginning to wonder... I haven't received any email in months for Nov 11-17. ;/

Is this the same Toy Story short they have on Netflix? Think it was seven minutes long. (Went with Skyfall instead)

 

[BwoZoo22]

Just found something interesting... Logged into my travel partner's MDE account (because I'm the one that set it up and is making ALL the plans ) and found an interesting FP+ glitch. On our EP day, I had been moving our FP+ all over the place, trying to figure out what our 3rd will be since there are only two we want. Somewhere in that switching mess, it assigned a second FP+ for the Land. (Would have liked the glitch to happen with Soarin' or TT, but oh well.) I haven't checked my MDE account yet today eek to see if I also have 4 FP+ for EP. Maybe I will try to change one to TT...

Already have it set to record for the 19th. I can't believe my kids neglected to tell me about this show. They are obviously slacking in their TV watching duties.

I think I'm going hands free in the parks. I'll be risking not being able to adjust MB FP+ times if needed within the park but I just really don't like being "connected" on vacation.

I don't like being connected when I'm out of the house at all, except to my hubby. I'm excellent at ignoring the phone even when it is in my pocket. My v-mail even tells callers that I probably won't be checking my messages. I figure the phone is for my convenience, not the convenience of others. I'll have it in case hubby and I need to split up for any reason, we can quickly text each other then. Plus I will have to know the wait times, you know, just because I can.

DS let himself get freaked out after watching it last night. Despite watching it at least 6 times, he needed his Daddy to sleep with him and STILL asked to watch it again this morning!!!

Yeah. I don't get him.

Sounds like my kids.

This show was on for 30min (with commercials). It's not a ts short, it was more like a "special" episode

And I'm apparently an infant family member on that account! Gotta love MDE, or it will drive you insane!

Yes MDE has its issues and we are the Ginea pigs that will tell the story of how we were all part of the change lol

I am driving myself nuts thinking I need to switch some things around. My sister arrives late Monday night and is staying off-site, she plans to meets us Tuesday morning at POR and check-in then head to AK. But AK now opens at 8am and I don't think we will get there that early. We already have an ADR at 50s PTC so I thought we would make Tuesday our DHS day, move AK to Thanksgiving along with still going to DHS for Fantasmic.

I am now also questioning if I should get FP+'s for our morning park instead of our evening park. We normally in the evening eat dinner, catch some of the low key attractions and watch the nighttime shows.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

I personally like morning FP times. For us, it's more of a chance to stick to the plan of leaving for a break after lunch and helps me not fret about missing favourites/classics. I also don't like rushing at dinner (be it QS or TS). I also don't know how "the bears" will wake or feel in the evenings.
