Passporter or TGM??

[newtodis]

What one would you use? We used TGM for a trip last year and I wasn't overly fond of it - information wasn't updated quickly enough for my standards would be my biggest complaint. I'm looking mainly for something to tell me the "best/worst" days for an upcoming trip. I'm not interseted in a lot of the actual "planning" stuff as I can ask my specific questions here on the DIS and get amazing answers for free!

So, where can I find the "best/worst" days without a huge price tag and without a lot of hassle?????

TIA!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Passporter. Got it online w/ their discount, less than $20 to me, soooo worth it. A wealth of info!!

Although I enjoy the passporter, I use it mostly as a reference and place to write down what we do each day once at disney, I am not sure it is much of a help as to which park to go to on a particular day. As for TGM, I don't think it is worth the money for many of the reasons you state. You can go to touringplans.com and get the crowd estimates for the next 30 days for free. Or if you buy the unofficial guide, you can get a membership to the site for free and see the whole next years crowd estimates. I love the unofficial guide, fun to read. So that would be my suggestion.

I bought the Passporter but I didn't find it was something that I really used. I already had a method of organizing my materials and plans so it wasn't worth it for that. maybe if I had gotten it as a first timer I would have liked it more. I have had a running subscription to TGM for several years know and though I enjoy the information I do agree that it isn't always updated as quickly as it could be. I am going to use a combination of Touring Plans and TGM for our next trip- though I have never used Touring Plans.
