How to create a Touring Plan?

[mshanson3121]

I'm using the website www.touringplans.com, but how do I go about it? I selected all the shows/rides we wanted for that day, but then it just puts it in a big list, no times selected for the shows etc (lunch was at the bottom of the list!). So I hit the optimize button, but it won't let me adjust any of the selections (I want to move something to a different spot). I put for the plan to end at 5:00 pm, and it's giving me plans up to 7:00 pm! So what am I doing wrong?

Are you on your desktop? I don't think you can change the order if you are on something like an iPad. From your desktop there will be an arrow to the left of each step and you can drag and drop that. In the grey area at the top choose edit and you can change your park times there.

Also on the desktop, you can simply click and hold inside the box enclosing any of the steps, and drag it up and down to a new location. Very easy. Then you can click "evaluate" and it will work out the times with the new order.
Note that if your plan is ending at 7, that probably means your selections can't all fit in before 5. there would likely be a warning note somewhere on the page to this effect.
there are touringPlans experts here who can help you with the whole process. Keep asking questions as you need them.

Ahhhh k. I was wondering if that's what it meant. I'm curious... we have a Pirates League reservation, so how do I work that into my plan?

You can drag your ride order up or down and there are two buttons to hit at the bottom, either 'evaluate' or 'optimize'. The evaluate will show you timing on the order how you have them listed. The optimize will rearrange for you and show the recommended way.

We will be using a DAS card, so with that in mind... is it better to choose it to optimize by "reducing wait" or "reducing walking"
