EasyWD or UTouring plans?

[provencio]

Any opinions.. which touring plans would you go by - unofficial guide or easy Walt Disney world? Why? trying to not only convince my sister to use them, but narrow down which site for me.

The cheat sheets at easywdw.com, no question. That's what we do and we rarely wait more than 20 minutes (and never more than 30) for anything.

I combine the two and make my own plan. I'm not a fan of zig-zagging all over the park, and most of the touring plans do that. I choose 4 main attractions, get FP for 3 of them and hit the 4th one at RD. I am a fan of the lines apps! They are always more accurate than the official WDW one.

We go with the easyWDW choice of which park to visit, but don't use the plan itself. We may try it this year in one park just to see how it does. But like a PP said, I'm not a big fan of going from one side of the park to another. We generally tour one area totally before going to another section.

What other lines apps are there other than the WDW official app?

The lines app: https://touringplans.com/disney-world-app

I take Josh's cheat sheets and use them to create my own plan, then run it through TP (using 'evaluate', not 'optimize'!!!) to fine tune and get the basic steps the way I want them.

I loved the Lines app when we were at UO, but at WDW in January, it glitched out on me in a major way and was useless the entire trip.

I love using unofficial's website. Create your own, let them "optimize" it, then tweak it to my liking then hit "evaluate" and keep playing until I get something perfect. I do find their "walking" paces to be a bit fast. As a fast walker, I always create plans with a "relaxed" pace and find that works out better.

This is the one I use, @WDWRook but Undercover Tourist has one now. I haven't tried it yet. Maybe on the next trip I'll use both apps to see which one is more accurate.

To be honest, I use the calendars (UG, easy WDW, **************) together to decide when to visit. Outside of that, I make my own plan based on our priorities and what I know about which attractions are most popular, what gets busy when, etc. I don't want to zigzag all over the park like a lot of the set plans have you do.

I also TOTALLY IGNORE their recommended park days since we stay onsite, park hop and use early and late EMH (their recommended parks for the day will not be the ones with EMH; they note this on their sites).

Has worked well for trips 1-3 times a year since 2005.

As far as websites go, if you're determined to pick just one, I like how much data UG has on its site. Not only forecasts, but historical info you can look back at -- including a by-attraction breakdown of wait times throughout a day. But I'm a data geek.

I like easywdw since it's free, and I can't follow an exact plan because I take small children. So I like that easy has the maps and prioritizations on there. So I basically know which attractions I want to get done at rope drop and then can go where the kids want.

Both - if only there were more threads out there to help answer this question.

touringplans.com all the way! Also, their app is incredibly impressive with how accurate it is!
