Discrepancy on EasyWDW calendar

[gaelicgoddess]

I'm trying to figure out when we should visit Hollywood Studios. The two dates I'm looking at are March 19th or 20th. I am only looking at these two days because the rest of my week is planned for specific reasons. I'm using Touring Plans and comparing it to EasyWDW. TP has HS listed as a 6 on Wed. and Thurs. I noticed that on the March Calendar at EasyWDW, it has HS listed as green on Wed. and red on Thurs. But then when you go down to the actual description for each day, it says HS is Not Recommended in red for Wed. and also on Thurs.???

Thoughts?

I'm thinking of doing Epcot on Wed. since the day before has EMH, and TP has them listed as a 5 on Wed. That would leave HS on Thurs.

I trust easywdw 100%. I use it to plan my trips and it has never steered me wrong.

So should I go by what Easy has listed on the March calendar, which has HS listed as green on Wed. March 19th? Or should I go by what Easy says on the Wed. March 19th description, which has HS listed as red and Not Recommended? I'm just wondering since it says two different things for the same exact day. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

But in the OPs case, there's an internal inconsistency at EasyWDW. On the calendar, HS shows as green on the 19th (albeit, the least recommended of the greens). But when you read the analysis text, it says:

Hollywood Studios: 9am – 9:30pm (Not Recommended)

With no evening Extra Magic Hours anywhere and a lowly morning Extra Magic Hour at Disney’s least popular theme park, Hollywood Studios is going to be busier than recommended days during the week. While the addition of Fantasmic to every night this week makes each specific show less appealing, we still need to be concerned about the lack of attractive forces elsewhere. Plus, it’s later in the week, which means most people on a weeklong vacation will already have visited Magic Kingdom and Epcot and they’ll be looking to spend a day at one of Disney World’s less popular theme parks. With nothing specific drawing people to the Studios, it’s not going to be crazy crowded, but it is going to be busier than other recommended days during the week and should be avoided if possible. With Magic Kingdom being incredibly popular tomorrow with the morning Extra Magic Hour and Electrical Parade, the Studios would be a much better choice tomorrow.

Now, my instinct would be to assume that the calendar has a typo, and the analysis is correct. However, if the OP wants to be sure, she should probably try posting her question on the EasyWDW forums. Josh would probably appreciate the head's up, so he can fix things.

Oh I had no idea that there were forums associated with EasyWDW. I completely glanced over that in the description at the top, lol. Thanks!
