Conflicting Crowd Calendar's

So, I'm at my window for booking dining for our Oct trip, and looking at Under Cover Tourist and Easy WDW crowd calendar's have two different suggestions for MK for the one day of our trip. Under cover has MK as a red park and Easy has it as a Green park.

So, which would you follow? This is for the 9th of Oct. if you are wondering.

Understand the reasoning and make your own decision. The reason that they differ is the MNSSHP event that night at MK and the morning EMH.

The park will only be open until 7 without a MNSSHP ticket, so many people will not go there. Morning EMH may draw in some people, but enough to counter those who avoid the park because of the reduced hours? It is a crap shoot.

I would probably go there at rope drop and be prepared to hop out if the park gets over-crowded.

That's our plan for that exact day. Go to MK for the EMH then head over to Epcot around lunch time so we can start going around the food and wine booths.

I asked a similar question last year on the Dis and overwhelmingly, the feedback I got was EasyWDW is better for predictions. I've become such a fan of Josh's site and insight that I didn't even bother looking elsewhere when I planned our upcoming trip.

We've been there that day the last 2 years (that's our anniversary). The second year the crowd level seemed higher, but very manageable. That's a great time to go, in my opinion. Don't stress about it!!

I think we're going to try to do MNSSHP again, so instead of breakfast and booking this as a whole day at MK day, I made a 4:00 Dinner reservation for Liberty Tree and then we will hopefully stay for the party. That way we can use that as a pool morning but we'll still have some leeway if we want to go earlier once we see FP+ availability for that day.

If we don't wind up doing the party we'll just grab a yummy cinnamon roll on Main Street or at Gaston's for breakfast spend the day there and then eat our dinner and go back to the hotel and swim or hop over to EP or DTD. So a win either way it pans out.

Thanks for the input! Also thanks for the crowd calendar reviews, I have mostly relied on EasyWDW in the past and been happy so I don't know why I was second guessing this time.
