Of all the things you can buy for $13 to improve your Disney vacation, a Touring Plans membership is pretty darn close to the top of the list.
143%, YES!
Also, if you check out the book from the library, you can get the book owner's discount. The site verifies you have the book by asking specific questions about word placement in the book. Have some drinks while you're touring, you don't even need to know where you are - tp takes care of everything. You enter what you want to do, and tp tells you when to do it, based on historical wait times, walking distance, and walking paths for all of your attractions. Next attraction? Just check your tp, and get directions from
mde. When TP has the crowd levels right, it's pretty amazing. I was hooked when it told me to do Soaring twice before doing test track at Ep. Right on the money. Test track wait time went down 20 minutes while we were waiting to board Soarin for the 2nd time. It's also awesome for planning breaks, meals, shows with set times like Lion King, Flights of Wonder, the street shows at Epcot, etc. You literally don't have to do anything except plug in your list of things you wanna do, your fastpasses, and your adr's and/or meal breaks, and tp optimizes your route. It's pretty sweet. You can also re-organize everything in just a few seconds on the fly while you're in the park, no big deal. Best 10.00 stress relief kit you'll have on your trip. Whiz right by the people looking at maps, and saying, "what should we do next?" We basically rope dropped every day, followed our tp, and got everything done we wanted to. Only missed the street shows we wanted to at Epcot one afternoon because of an emergency work call after we spent too much time at the hotel pool having fun.TP made it an absolute breeze. Even if you deviate from your plan, you just enter it into the software, and re-organize it in a few seconds, and it will spit out a new plan for you from that point forward. BREEZE, BREEZE, BREEZE! Reservation finder is amazing as well.
