Looking for EasyWDW's Jan 2017 Crowd Calendar

[Gamegrl1]

Sounds simple, I know. But when I go to www.easywdw.com and click "Crowd Calendars", the latest one it shows is October 2016. You can also get the February 2017 one as it has a link posted on the main page, but I've looked at his site and can't find January. Can someone please post a link to Josh's January 2017 calendar? Thank you.

I don't see his February 2017 crowd calendar on the site either - the link for February 2017 that I see is just a post with Disney's travel agent operating hours. January's is here: http://media.disneywebcontent.com/StaticFiles/ParkHours/WDWTravelAgent_january.pdf

Is this what you are looking for?

 

[Gamegrl1]

Yes, that is one of the things I was looking for - thank you! So the terminology I was using was not exact when I referred to the TA schedule, so thanks for that. Since you mention it, can anyone find his day-to-day breakdown for each day online (where he writes a paragraph or so of what to expect at each park and why)? One of the big things I'm looking for is to find out (if anyone knows) when/if MSEP is offered. If it's still showing, like it was in January of our last trip, we don't want to miss that and need to plan our dining accordingly since our 180-day mark is coming up fast!

P.S. In looking it over (and I know it's subject to change), I can't see how it could possibly be accurate since it's showing *NO* MSEP and *NO* Wishes the whole month. Just frustrated because I need that info to plan.

I don't think he's done that yet. As you mentioned, the last one I've seen is October.

I completely agree. I had my 180 day mark last Friday and did the best I could. I expect wishes will be every night. MSEP may not be, from what I've heard. I don't know what nights it would be though.

he hasn't done it for jan, he had posted, when the calendar was released a month or so ago, that the calendar was too incomplete for him to make day by day recommendations.

Same with November and December. They haven't posted Star Wars fireworks or AK evening activities, so he feels the info is incomplete.

I've been looking and waiting for March 2017. I have always trusted Josh's advice in the past and I'm creeping up on the 180 day mark...

You know hes got a forum page too!

 

[Gamegrl1]

DrDrowsy and Debbie - yeah, I did see that...thanks. Disappointing. But in spite of that, I don't understand why February is up and not earlier months! And Boski - no, I don't know about a "forum page". Please give details if you can...where, what, a link...I'm a busy gal and my 180 is in about 28 hours. I'm just trying to do the best I can with what little/incomplete info I have...trying to plan a great trip for my family, one of whom is a WDW first-timer and I will take all the good help I can get. If anyone has what they feel is reliable info about January 2017 crowd levels/recommended parks for certain days...anything...I'd be very appreciative.

Where did you find February's day to day recommendations? I can't find anything different for February than I can for January.

Josh has his own forums here: http://www.easywdw.com/forums/forum.php

That's just it - I can't find any day-to-day recommendations - as clarified above, all I could find were the travel agent schedules for February. And thanks for the forum link...I did see where that was last night with a little more exploration. All I'd used last time was the DISboards and paper guidebooks and I found it to be sufficient.

I see so many people saying that they use Josh's recommendations for which park to go to--but how can you when the day-to-day recommendations aren't out and your 180 mark is here? It's frustrating!

I guess I'm sticking with the recommendations on Touring Plans.

 

[anotherhb]

Anyone have any luck finding these?

 

[notrub98]

Josh isn't doing them anymore. Hasn't for several months. He said he's coming out with a new format eventually but no more day to day recommendations.

 

[senadler]

I think if you go back through the old ones you can pretty much figure it out. Avoid EMH, avoid MK early in the week, etc. The logic pretty much stays the same. If you find the comparable week when he was doing them last year it should help you plan park days.

 

[drdrowsy]

kenny the pirate publishes crowd calendars, too (touringplans, also, but i think there's a paywall there?)

I used to recommend his site. Until I had an October trip booked and he didn't make day to day recommendations ever. Would have been nice to know he planned on not doing them anymore, but he was pretty mum on it until recently. I ended up renewing my Touringplans membership and used that instead.

Josh stated many months before my October trip that he was not going to publish the calendars and his reasons why. Sorry you missed that info

He stated he was waiting for clarity not that he was never going to do the day to day.
