crowd calendar question

[RMulieri]

First my post is not meant to defend the Crowd Calander or even talk about how accurate or inaccurate it is.

It just frustrates me when people go on about any topic totally ignorant and pass on poor information.

The Crowd calender is based upon only 1 thing, and 1 thing only. The Magic Kingdom Peak Wait Times For SM/BTMR/SM.

The numbers have absolutely no meaning to what it was like in DS or AK etc..

Further the comments of it felt like a 2 or it seemed to me the day was a 3 is totally subjective unless you have the data on what the Peak Wait Times For SM/BTMR/SM were for that day then used the chart below to call it that.

Doing anything else when talking about the Crowd Calendar is wrong, and passes on misinformation.

Case in point ....

Level Magic Kingdom Peak Wait Time For SM/BTMR/SM
1 14 mins. or less
2 15 - 24 mins.
3 25 - 34 mins.
4 35 - 44 mins.
5 45 - 54 mins.
6 55 - 64 mins.
7 65 - 74 mins.
8 75 - 84 mins.
9 85 - 94 mins.
10 95 mins. or more

So as you can see the day you saw SM as a 30 min wait, that would make it a solid level 4, not a 2 or a 3 as you "felt".

Thank YOU ! I was just going to post this...The above is true.They are guidelines people, not set in stone.That said I have used them for I don't know how many trips already and found them pretty accurate and useful.NOt every plan works for everyone..

I haven't been to the site since last year (prior to my last WDW trip), but I remember being able to access the full crowd calendar without joining, by verifying that I have a current copy of the book.

Now I can't find that option -- did they remove that ability, and now you have to join to see it???

If you go to http://www.touringplans.com and click on "Subscrobe Now!" at the top of the page, you'll see the sign up form to pay and join. But under the password fields is a link called, "Own a current Unofficial Guide?" If you click on that you can verify which book you own in order to get access (looks like only current editions are eligible).

You can no longer unlock the whole calendar that way.You now have to purchase a subscription regardless if you bought the Unofficial guide.

Oh, ok. So what can you see with the book verification?

The website seems to say if you own the book, you get a 50% discount. So I guess it's not free anymore, but as least it's something.
