Mid September crowds

I will be at WDW 9/18-9/22 with my DW and DD 9 will be staying at POP and have all my ADRs in place. The guides show the crowds to be pretty low those days. Is it worth it (Pay TGM or TouringPlans) to put together a detailed plan for each park or it will the crowds be low enough that if we hit the big rides early we will be ok to just play it by ear. We are planning on visiting MK on Monday after check in early morning, Tuesday for early morning hours at Epcot, Wed at MGM, Thurs back to MK for early morning hours, and AK on Friday for the last day.

As long as you don't feel lost (not knowing what the major attractions are, what you really want to see, etc.) you'll likely do fine. If you desire a little help in that area, then sure, TGM or TP can give you a general plan to follow and you won't likely miss anything.

As I recall, TP has some "early riser" plans which might help (both in the book and on the website). But since you'll generally be ahead of the crowds, it might be nice not to feel pressured to follow the plan. Your personal preference has a lot to do with it. HTH.

In my experience, the guides are accurate on crowds at different times of year. We will be there Sep. 10-15 and I expect small crowds and short lines. Hit the big stuff first and you should be fine. Good luck!

We wil be there Sept 19-25 staying at POFQ. We went a few yrs back in Sept and walked onto just about everything. I remember the longest line for the boat ride in the land in Epcot about 15mins. I love going in Sept.
