Best crowd predicted?

[2neverland]

We used tour guide Mike years ago. Who is the most accurate in preplaning crowds these days?

Josh at Easywdw. He also explains, in detail, why which park is best. Plus he's funny. Go for the crowd calendars and cheat sheets, stay for the snark!

I use Touring Plans. Its subscription but offers more than just a crowd calendar. I also use EasyWDW and compare the two. On some days the best park, crowd levels do not agree but for the most part they do.

Easywdw is always spot on for us. Touring plans is not.

whomever you select, just recognize that the crowd levels have increased a lot in the past couple of years, so it will feel more busy regardless of what the crowd prediction number says.

I believe TP relies on historical data and statistical modeling, so the operational changes (less capacity & staff due to #FundShanghai) & attraction closures in Epcot & DHS for expansion is probably making their predictions less accurate then they would like right now.

I use both EasyWDW and Touring Plans, often times they don't agree on the "best" park, but often they do agree on at least 2 parks not to attend on a given day, so I just pick one of the other ones.

Agree. Touring plans hasn't been able to follow the changes. Josh explains everything.

Thanks for input! I believe I looked at wdw prep school post on pintrest and it didn't match what I had seen on easywdw. Easywdw seems to be similar to tourguide Mike. I've noticed from posting the crowds do seem higher. We usually go week after thanksgiving. This year will be October 30-Nov 2. We used the kids fall special. This package seemed to have worked out to be just as good a deal as free dining. First time at this time frame. Currently booked a 2 day ticket with the thought of doing mnsshp. After debating plan on adding 2 more park tickets vs mnssh.
