Its the discrepancies September 17 , September 19. Wouldn't it be a poor choice to do EPCOT on a weekend during food and wine

I'm not sure how useful their crowd calendars are to most people, though, since they don't make park recommendations.

If you plan on taking advantage of EMH, use touring plans. If you really want to be in the parks with the lowest crowds every day and don't mind missing EMH to accomplish that, use easywdw.

If you are going to be in future world, F&W should have little impact. If you are going to world showcase, avoid it on Saturdays and Friday nights during F&W. Sundays vary/

I have always loved Josh at Easy Wdw but lately I really like Kenny the Pirate. He is awesome at keeping you updated and he answers you right away. The other day Josh at Easy WDW asked everyone what they thought about him maybe putting ads up or charging $9 for his site and a lot of people said they wouldn't pay. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but after I posted that I loved his site but if he started charging then I would for sure only use Kenny the Pirate, all of the sudden I get a 403 forbidden error. I am not sure if they blocked me or not but I know Kenny the Pirate would never do something like that. I vote for Kenny the Pirate all the way! He is awesome! You can also pay a small fee and join character locator on Kenny the Pirate's site and it gives you even more useful info while you are in the park!

I have no idea why you got the 403 error, but you could simply have answered that you wouldn't pay. He has been doing all of this work and sharing it for free for many years, and it sounds like you have taken advantage of his work. To direct others to a different site on his site because you have lately come to like that other site more - that is not cool and I wouldn't blame him from blocking your IP address for doing that.

Actually no one can really be blocked. There are ways around that. I just won't be sending anymore people his way. His loss.

If you don't want the truth then don't ask. Lots of other people said worse things than I did. Oh well

this is not what the question was at all! He said all current content will be available to all, there will be some content (new) only for subscribed viewers and no ads. I pay more then 9 usd for TouringPlans and don't use them that much. He personally answers many questions. Many answered that they will be happy to pay the fee

As for ads, or paid subscription - he is very invested in his website and he needs to support himself somehow. This site also have ads, and tourinplans subscription service. It's very unfair and incorrect to mislead people stating that he will start charging for the use of his site - he stated current content will continue to be available to all and updated regularly.

 

[HappyGrape]

I have followed both - tourinplans and easywdw and have better luck with easywdw calendars and cheatsheets

 

[Luvamouse]

Easy WDW. I've done both a number of times, and I have found in the event of a discrepancy on where to go, Josh's recommendations were more correct.

You say you wouldn't pay a small fee for one site and then promote paying a fee on another site for even less information...


As for which site, we used nothing in May 2014 and went to every EMH. Crowds were actually not bad but it got exhausting doing all the late night into early morning transitions with DS.

In 2015 we used EasyWDW for Labor Day trip and felt like missing the morning EMH meant fewer rides before the crowds came.

This year we have 7 days, are going back in May and will likely try EasyWDW again only because we want to relax and the late night into early morning is not relaxing.
