Question about Mikes Guide?

[ckret01]

Is this an online help guide and how long do you have access to view it? Can you print it out are they like a slide show? I am considering purchasing it if it helps me

Tour Guide Mike is an on-line service. When you join, you fill-out forms with information on your upcoming trip (such as where you are staying, ages of people in your party, etc). You will then be given information that helps with your upcoming trip. You could print out some of the info, but there is an enormous amount of information that he gives you. You have access to his website information until about two weeks after your trip is completed. I used it for my Easter trip this year, and also signed-up again for our upcoming New Years trip, since these are both very busy times.

You have access to TGM until 60 days after your vacation. I print out all of the vacation articles I'm interested in and I have them organized in a 3 ring binder. He has a printer friendly button you can click on for each article which is great.
If you haven't read this yet it is the FAQ for TGM:

He does actually tell you to print stuff out if you want! There is so much info there that to print out everything would probably take a few packets of printer paper!! It's a great source of info, and had some excellent advice on how to plan your days.

I have subscription to TGM and I have tried and tried to get comfortable with the site but it just doesn't seem user friendly to me and I get frustrated. Is there an easy way to use the site?

Kelly, my best advice would be to post on the forums on TGM's site and ask for help. Someone will come along who can explain things better to you Another TGM fan here!

If you have the time, yes. Concentrate on one park at a time. I started with AK since it seemed like it had the fewest attractions. I cut and pasted the info I wanted to take with me into a Word document. I started with the AKL ride/attraction descriptions. For each one that sounded promising, I read the whole descrption of each and copied into my Word document tips I would want later. (I didn't try to memorize things like the best place to sit at a given show, or the best parade viewing spot...I just took the pages with me and got them out at the appropriate time.) After I was familiar with the AK rides and attaractions, I studied the touring plan.

I did MK next. Then MGM, then Epcot.

If you concentrate on one park at a time, it helps.

First of all, go to your month's express planner. Read thru the page, review the steps, and then begin you planning as he presents it step by step. There are some very knowledgeable and helpful people on the forums that are very willing to be of assistance to you. Post any questions you have and you will have an answer, Possibly from MiKE himself if it is warranted.
