Is it too late to use TGM?

[TNDisDad]

We have a trip upcoming for December 15th-22nd and already have all of our ADR's based on which parks we are doing on which days. I have read good things about TGM. Would it still be worth using TGM even though we may not be able to get our ADR's changed. We are staying at the BCV with a total of 9 including 3 kids under 5.

Thanks!

Not too late at all! I got it with less than 45 days to my trip and I have gotten more than my moneys worth already. You may find you will want to change around some of your ADR to take advantage of his tips fully...but even if you dont you can still get plenty of tips for how to tour the days you have planned. The message boards there are really great too. If you post what you have planned there, people will help you find ways to make it better.

I purchased my first subscription there with only about 6 weeks before my trip and found it very worthwhile. This time i had several months to plan - maybe too much time, lol.
You may want to change adr's based on his recommendations, as mentioned above, or you may not be able to, or may prefer to just stick with what you have. With his advice, you will still be able to have a very doable plan. The forums are fabulous - essentially a flame-free environment.
You really have nothing to lose. There is a money-back guarantee and I think if you take the time to learn how to use the site, you will be very pleased.
Our group of veteran Disney-goers was very impressed with the efficiency of our touring plans.
Good luck!

Nope, it's not too late! Mike saved my sanity during last year's Christmas trip. I agree with the other poster, the TGM forums are great! The posters there are so helpful and willing to share their secrets, even some this Disney Veteran didn't know! I never plan a trip without Tour Guide Mike. Have a wonderful time!

Three weeks before our anniversary, my husband and I decided to go to WDW to celebrate. It was our first trip to WDW, and TGM was the best. You fill out a questionaire regarding the type of rides you like, etc. The website will tell you will which parks to go to, or avoid on certain days and the reasoning behind the recommendations. He also has different tours of the park set up depending on your group. There's a one day MK tour for active adults and teens vs. a two day tour for young children. With every park, he rates the all the rides on a scale of 1 of 5, with 5 being a must ride. At first, I thought I would ride everything, but his ratings were pretty good, so I ended up skipping some or waiting to ride them after I rode all the 5s.

I had a blast on my trip and TGM was worth the $21 (I didn't know about this website, so I didn't save the $3). The next time I go, I will pay the $ for TGM. BTW, I used TGM more than my unofficial guide to Disney.

Have fun!
