Question about TGM

[Quinn222]

I've been thinking about trying out TGM but I have a question. How flexible is it? Do you just get generic touring plans or is there some way to customize them for your particular interests? We'll be going without going on any big thrill rides, so that would obviously have a pretty big effect on the ideal touring plan for us.

TGM doesn't spit out generic touring plans for you.
What it does it add recommendations to your AVP, which you review and make choices based on TGM's philosophies and recommendations for best days/times to visit the parks, etc.
You use his advice to build your won itinerary based on YOUR interests.

Great, that's just what I was hoping to hear. Thanks!

rant had it right. TGM is about much more than itinerary planning. It is about educating people on things related to WDW, including park touring. You can use the info presented to create your own plan - starting from "sample plans" provided, and get the benefit of understanding why you are doing the things you are doing.

For those interested in getting a customized itinerary for the specific rides they want to do, RideMax WDW was just released a few days ago. I wrote up some preliminary observations here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1074084

I think people should take a look at both these resources and consider using both. They complement each other in many ways, and the expense is a small fraction of the thousands paid for the actual vacation.
