Best Touring Plans

[MellieMouse22]

Hi!
My family is headed to Disney World Nov. 26-Dec.1. We're doing free dining & park hopping through all of the parks. Can you recommend best touring plans for each park (esp Animal Kingdom with new Pandora stuff)? Let me know which websites can best help me plan out our days. Thanks so much!

My favorite is easywdw. He tests his plans regularly to make sure they are accurate. I'm sure he will update his AK info once Pandora opens.

I use EasyWDW as mentioned above and also Kenny the Pirate, because his character information is the absolute best.

My favorite is easywdw.

I do like the layout of EasyWDW but it is not updated in a timely enough manner for my planning. Right now the most up-to-date calendar is for April. People will be making FP reservations starting tomorrow for July so it's hard to do that if you're counting on a crowd predictor calendar for some guidance and it is only showing April.

I like Touring Plans a lot. I also like Kenny the Pirate.

try to make a plan where you don't backtrack too much, go in the order the park is built and do get fast passes, backtracking is awful for your stamina. Find a crowd calendar and use it to pick your park days, low crowds are always a plus, and if there is no way to avoid a high crowd park at least you can prepare for it. Do plan for breaks inside the park or back to your hotel and above all leave room for spontaneous things. Have a great trip!

I like Touring Plans. All their plans were developed using statistical data and queue theory. I am not a math person at all, but I appreciate data and analysis behind their plans. I use them every time I go to WDW and DLR. I was just in WDW the week before Easter (all level 10 crowd days). I used the TP crowd calendar to choose my parks and then used their adult touring plan each day (along with rope drop, FP+ and single rider lines). We got so much done with very little time spent waiting in lines. The longest we waited was 25 minutes at 1:30 PM (single rider line for Test Track at Epcot)!

Although Josh has not been updating his as quickly, he explains his rationale for why he picks dates. I used that information to plan. Also, the days for EMH and MNSSHP were similar to last year so I used his October 2016 to help plan for this October.
