Is a crowd level 6 bad?

What if you don't do FP's? Do you still have a shot at getting on the most popular things? I didn't have any intentions of doing any RD's so I'm guessing FP's will be out by the time we get to things. My park days are all expected under 5. Think I will have horrible wait times even with low park levels? I keep seeing people on other threads say "get there for RD and make sure you get FP's". I figured with low crowd levels I wouldn't have to worry about this???

I don't know if you will have horrible wait times, but doesn't the number kind of translate to how many minutes you might be in standby on a popular/e-ticket kind of attraction, ie 5=50minutes of standby?

I could be totally wrong about that.

Thanks all for the advice. I wasn't planning on any RD's or worrying about EMH but maybe I will revisit. I've been focused on ADR's and stuff like that now I guess I will focus on a park plan!!

Easywdw has my week listed as 6's. Touringplans has the same week listed as 8's and 9's. Who do I believe? Does Easywdw ever adjust their numbers? They haven't changed since I've started watching several months ago, while Touringplans numbers have been moving up.

I don't know. Touring plans has changed ours, down though. They're showing 1-2 for most of our days. I looked up the historical info for our trip the same week in 09, and it matches with what they predict for this year and with what our experiences were. Easywdw is predicting mostly 5s.

Touringplans.com But it is a subscribed for service that you pay for.

For free try easywdw.com. This seems to work really well for me.

Touring Plans (http://touringplans.com/) has them listed 1 year in advance. I think it's $10 or $12 to join. The numbers change as they get information - so there is still no guarantee. My days over Pres week started at 7's and 8's when I first checked and they wound up at 10's....this coming Pres week, they're already listed as 9's...but I'm sure it will change. The closer you get, the more reliable the info will be - but that doesn't help much with your ADR's if you're making them 180 days out.

Once again my thanks to the great board members that provide terrific information!
