Need Opinions on Tour Guide Mike...

[kimmac1]

Has anyone used Tour Guide Mike's info? I have already purchased it, so that isn't really the problem. After just starting to look at the best days to go to the parks, it seems I have planned ALL of the WORST days to go to the parks. We've never been before, so I need some feedback.
We leave June 13, and I'd have to change some ADR's if possible.
Please Help!

I think TGM is a great resource! Why don't you post on the forums there and ask opinions on your itinerary? I'm sure you'll get helpful responses! Have you signed up for the June club forum? (can't remember exactly what it's called).

I have used TGM on the last two trips! I highly recommend using the days to go to the parks! It worked!! Really it did!! I often found on Extra magic hour mornings the line for that park was packed. I was often in the line for another park and rode rides faster etc! DO IT!! If it requires changing your itinerary i promise you will not be disappointed!

Thanks, ILoveMagic, that is what I was wondering. I am wading through all of the info now. It's interesting. I have already done "fruit basket turnover" with every, single day. I've rescheduled the ADR's we had. My stomach is churning!
My husband is worried I am going to be so stressed over this whole trip I won't have a good time. But, that is the point. I want to try to plan well so that I'm not stressed while we're there.
Thanks for the info!

(I didn't want to post on the forum HE sponsors since it seemed a little wierd.)

You are very welcome!! Everything will turn out great! Us women are obsessive about planning!! It couldnt possibly turn out any other way
Have a great time!!

I completely agree with what everyone else has said. June is a busy time and using TGM's best days will help tremendously especially since you have never been there before. It can be difficult to navigate the parks too, I would try to use his touring plans too that way your sure to have a fun, relaxed trip! Good Luck!

We used TGM when we went last July for our very first trip and I'm so glad we did! Using his tips I scheduled the best days and plotted out a loose schedule for each day and it worked out so well! We walked right on or at the most of the attractions or waited maybe 10 minutes in line. We did not want to do commando style so we worked in plenty of down time and even decided to skip the parks completely one morning since we did everything we wanted to at MK!

We will be going again next year except for a shorter trip and I'll be using TGM once again!

We used TGM for a trip on President's Day week which was very crowded and am so glad we did! We got to ride things like Soarin' and Expedition Everest 3 or 4 times with little or no wait while others were waiting 2 1/2 hours to ride once! Make sure you follow his main points, they are very important! He has great advice for shortcuts or uncrowded walkways which are good for getting away from the crowd (we had a stroller so these "uncrowded" areas were nice) and also tells you the best places to view parades. I will definitely be using TGM again!

TGM helped us too. It was so cool to not wait in any lines. I felt like I knew a big secret. I definitely recommend the days he suggests.

I've used TGM 2 times and am using it again in May. I would definitely follow his suggestions regarding what days to go.
