Is it to late for TGM?

[graciespeaks]

We are using a TA and I have already gotten our ADR's to coincide with the park we plan to be in for the day.
Would TGM still be helpful at this point? Or shoud I count on using TGM on my next trip?
(I do not want to change my ADR's "AGAIN")
TIA for any suggestions on this, I wish I had stumbled across the disboards and TGM before I ever contacted a TA...LOL

Oh and does he give out the info online or does he have a special "book or organizer"?

TGM is wonderful. All his info is online, but you can print it all out. He does have a lot of different ideas about the parks to visit in which days, and alot of your planning should be dependent on this information, so you would probably end up having to change ADR's again because what he says makes a lot of sense. After I signed up, I was changing ADR's for all of my days...luckily it all worked out for the best! TGM rocks!!!!!!!

Well it depends on how far out you are to your vacation. If you have several months to go then I would say it's not to late. If your going in just a couple of weeks then I would say no. I have used TGM in the past and am signed up for my trip this August, I would never go to WDW again without his advice. As far as the ADR's you may not have to change them, but then agian once you see his plans you may think twice about moving some around. Hope it helps.

He is good. I really like his advice on what days/nights, what parks.

And welcome to the DIS.

There is no book/organizer, just the information on the website. Since you have your planning done and aren't interested in doing it over again, I don't think it would serve much purpose for you at this time.

As for next time, it was my experience that the majority of the info provided on the TGM site is the same as what I had already found at no cost on sites such as this one, AllEars.com, and touringplans.com. While the checklist of things you'd like to do/need to reserve and the reminders for them can be handy, it seemed to me that they aren't anything you couldn't easily do yourself using the basic word processing/calendar programs you probably already have on your computer or even just with a handwritten list. Further, it didn't really provide the personalization or updated information I expected. Just my opinion after thoroughly reviewing the service for several months.

I don't think this is true at all, and even if it was, how much time would you have to spend sifting through hundreds of posts of rumor, speculation and misinformation to find what is right at your fingertips on tgm?

Not much. Don't forget that the sites I mentioned have far more available than just the message board functions they offer. These sites provide a great wealth of information that is presented in a very accurate, up-to-date, well organized and thorough format.

Plus, related to the messages boards you referenced, a simple search will yield posts directly related to a particular topic and some very valuable "hands on" opinions/reviews from the general public.
