How reliable are the crowd calculators??

Some of our planned parks are on the least recommended days? Should I start attempting to change plans? ADRs have been made and we are going the 22nd through 28th. 2 days at MK, 2 at Epcot, 1 AK, 1 DHS.

I was thinking with FastPass+ and EMH we would be ok, but now I'm second guessing... We will not do park hoppers.

Thoughts would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the dis, nikki.

I find easywdw to be very reliable. Read Josh's reasons for labeling a park as not recommended. If it makes sense, maybe think about changing your plans a bit along with your DR's.

I'm pretty sure somewhere on easy's site he also has pics of a recommended park vs non recommended. Thing is I have read that it makes more of a difference when it's lower crowds vs higher and looks like you're there during a more crowded time. My personal preference is to avoid EMH parks unless I have hoppers. This allows me to sleep more and get more done. however if ADRs are set and you're unable to change, I would make sure to get to parks at rope drop. Personally, I would probably leave parks in afternoon and then come back. YMMV though. There really isn't a right way to tour.
