Anyone use RideMax and if so....how do you like it?

Is it worth the money?? I saw on another thread that this is another option for Disney World Planning. I used to use Tour Guide Mike for our trips until his site shut down. I am willing to try others now. I do use easywdw too. We will be at Disney starting on March 26th for 9 nights, departing Sat. the day before Easter Sunday. I feel like with the new FP+ system I might need something like this. We have only used the new system once, last Aug. We will be there at a very crowded time We have done this same week 2 other times but that was with Legacy FP.

I have used Ridemax the last 6 years...

I have found that since the FP+ it isn't as accurate as it use to be. I don't do the put in my attractions and follow the plan as it is created for me I do a lot of Tweeking to it as I find it often plans a large break mid day and we usually are not wanting that. So I use it more to help me create my own plan with reasonable estimates for ride waits and time to allocate for distance to the ride with ride times.

Tpettie do you think it's still worth buying? We have usedit in in the past (even while I was a TGMer). And I have used Touring plans (not really a fan and less so since FP+) and now use Easywdw. But I'd consider another go at RideMax for our Easter trip if it seems to be working at all. I did think it worked surprisingly well in the past, even though many of their plans were very counterintuitive to our usual touring plans.

I will still buy it for my up coming Dec trip I would rather have something. I like knowing the length of time it take to get from one ride to another and the length of the ride it then helps me to judge if I thing we are needing to change up our touring plan while were there and in the moment.

The one that sticks out in my mind was Peter pan should have been about a 10 min wait we lost about 30mins in line which through off the rest of the morning plan.

If I had to say how accurate I think it is. In the past pre FP+ I found it to be 90/95% accurate.
Now I would say it's more about 75%

Also keep in mind I do a lot of tweeting to my plans trying to get as much into a day as possible
