Explain this please... And which day would you go?

[mshanson3121]

Was looking at the crowd calendars... Now Josh from EasyWDW typically recommends to avoid Saturday at MK because of locals, people being on their last (or first) day of vacation etc... And yet,Touring Plans comes up with their numbers based on years worth of data, and typically have a high accuracy rate. Thursday, June 25th (morning EMH), TP has a crowd rating of 9, and only a 6 on Saturday, the 27th (evening EMH).... EasyWDW recommends neither of those days of course. So I'm wondering why the difference in numbers?

And based on that, which day would you go?

Years ago, Touring Plans was my go-to crowd calendar. At some point during the last few years something changed. I just don't find it to be all that accurate anymore.

However, easywdw is always spot on.

Based on my experience, if I had to choose between those two days I'd take Thursday. A Saturday with evening EMH is bound to draw a larger crowd than Thursday's morning EMH. That said, I'd try to avoid both days if possible.

Undercover Tourist also has an excellent crowd calendar...it's the one I always use.

EMH and a saturday? avoid MK. I would hop there later in the day (if you have hoppers) but i wouldnt start there. will be crowded with non-hoppers and locals.

Agree. Josh explains this on his site how EMH (early or evening) affect crowd levels. I'd try not to be at MK either day but if I had to I'd chose Thursday.
