Crowd Calendar update. Yikes!

Hmmm. Josh doesn't seem to think anything has changed.
Last two weeks of Aug still says 6 to 7 the 3rd week and 3 to 5 the fourth.... Sounds right to me.

That's why I used him in the first place. For our trip the last week of June, he was consistently saying 8s and 9s, where Touring Plans was saying 4-6s... um, that's a pretty big discrepancy. And yes, TP changed all our predictions as well, and they are all running 7-9 now. At that time however, knowing that summer is busy, I used primarily EasyWDW. But one thing I did was write out the "best parks" per Josh (EasyWDW) and then Touring Plans, and compared them. Whatever parks they agreed on, that is the park we chose. Then... from there, we just went with personal preference.

We have gone the past several years the last week of June and even though it is busy it is definatley not 9,10's... Sounds like a marketing ploy to subscibe to TP.

Only people who have subscribed already would know anything about this (or people on the Dis).

I got one this morning too for Labor day week! Some of them went from 1's to 4's!!

Oh no! I will also be going that week!

I also go the e-mail for the first 2 weeks of September. But to be honest, I was not surprised. TP had a crowd level 1 for the entire week while with Josh the weekends were in the 4 - 5s. I assumed TP was too optimistic.

What site are people using that they're having crowd estimates emailed to them?

Touring Plans - you set up days to "track" and you get email updates for changes to any predictions on those dates.

I think the early November *really* got skewed with F&W being extended as long as it has - it's usually through the second weekend of November, but the first week of November usually isn't this long, resulting in F&W lasting well into mid-month.

We are going second week in June and I just checked park hours again and they have all changed. MK open 8am - 1am everyday we are at WDW. It has really screwed up my plans which I made months ago when the park hours were different. I was able to adjust most of my FP+ to earlier times which helped
