How much do touring plans and crowd calendars change?

[GatorMama]

We are planning our trip for Sept and the planning bug bit me hard this week when we got to pay off a big chunk of the trip. We've never had so long to plan before so I'm not sure when the best time to start will be.
I usually use easywdw to plan which days we will be at each park. And I'll need to have my basic outline to schedule ADRs in March. How much will recommended parks change in those six months? How early in the year are MNSSHP dates released? And what extra planning should I consider for experiencing F&W for the first time?!

Can't wait for another trip to the world!

EasyWDW rarely if ever changes the recommended park for each day (there would probably have to be some significant change in hours or some late-announced special event for that to happen). The dates for MNSSHP probably won't be officially announced until late April (they typically go on sale May 1st), but you'll be able to tell the dates when the September calendar comes out in mid February by which dates the MK closes at 7 (except September 5th and 6th, which are for Night of Joy). Probably the best advice for experiencing F&W for the first time is to avoid Epcot on the weekends.

Unless Disney makes a material change to the already published Extra Magic Hour schedule, then I am inclined to suggest that EasyWDW recommended Parks will not change.

Thanks yall! All great news for me!! I know there have been minor changes last minute when Fantasmic shows were added or removed but MNSSHPS is always a priority and we plan the trip around that (no other park earlier in the day and none the day after to recover).
