Crowd Calendar Wars - Help me Pick my Parks

[jeffg4]

There are discrepancies in the Easy, TP, & Kenny crowd calendars during my week. Please help me pick my park days. We have a 4-day, one park per day (non-hopper) ticket. We want to visit all parks but need to be in Epcot on Wednesday. Our touring plans usually consist of rope drop, afternoon break, return to same park in evening. We are staying on site but have always avoided EMH parks in the past. We plan on reserving our 3 FP+ at 60 days out and utilizing another set of SDFP.

Sun, June 25 (Park day)
Mon, June 26 (Park day)
Tue, June 27 (Park day)
Wed, June 28 (Epcot - need to be in this park today)
Thu, June 29 - (No Park)
Fri, June 30 (No Park)
Sat, July 1 (Park day)

TP has Sun, June 25 as a CL5 and Sat, July 1 as a CL4. I can't believe there will be any summer days of CL4's and CL5's, especially around Independence Day. Seems like TP's crowd calendars are way off this year. TIA.

Without looking at any of the hours or crowd calendars, I think I would still avoid the EMH parks since you don't have park hoppers.

However, since you are onsite and with Pandora opening at AK AND having late EMH there until 1 am in June, I would definitely make one of those June days an AK day and take advantage of that late EMH. But I would want a day off after it so I could sleep in. So maybe Monday AK and then Tues an off day. So that leaves your Sun and Sat to decide. Do you want to begin or end with MK?

My wife and I will be at WDW for some of these days We try to avoid the MK on Mondays...........so we'll be a MK on Sunday June 25th (that may be tough on arrival day I know) Monday we're doing Epcot....but you could do HS also......and Tuesday we're finishing up at AK.............these are all Kenny the Pirate green days......used him in Nov 2016 and we were quite happy. Your "gotta do" Epcot day is also set to green........so you're good. Saturday can be a rough day...........you could go back to MK or HS. Again the only thing we try to avoid (and sometimes we couldn't) is MK on Mondays............

Have a great vacation whatever you do.

Doesn't matter - just looking to avoid the most crowded parks.

Okay, here are my two suggested plans:

Sun MK
Mon AK with the late EMH (they also have early, so you could take advantage of both)
Tues off
Wed EP
Thur off
Fri off
Sat HS

Sun AK with late EMH
Mon off
Tues MK
Wed EP
Thur off
Fri off
Sat HS

I would choose MK on Sunday over MK on Saturday. Saturday just seems busier to me than Sunday.

since the crowd estimates vary so much now, and I don't know how accurate any of them realy can be with all the changes/new stuff going on the past/next couple years, I now start picking my parks based on EMH - will I do them? If yes, that's the park I go to. If no, that's the park I avoid. So that at least narrows the choices down a bit. THen I will look at the crowd calendars and see what they have to say about my remaining choices.

Don't go to MK on Monday and avoid parks with EMH. Then from that I usually plan our days based when and where we can get our ADRs.
