I renewed my TP.com subscription yesterday and started putting in some personalized plans to test for our trip next May. I made a plan for our first day in each of the four parks. Everything looks reasonable. Then I put in a plan for a second MK day on May 22, 2016 (a Sunday). It shows no waits for all but a few things. Not just no waits for PeopleMover or Stitch. No wait for ETWB, 7DMT, and others that should have at least SOME wait, even on low crowd days. I've got Space first thing, and it shows a 16 minute wait (OK), then Buzz after that with a 5 minute wait (probably OK). I added PPF to test it and it showed a 45 minute wait mid morning (that's more in line with expectations), but the others were still sitting at zero for wait times.

To test whether the site is broken I copied over one of the first plans I created and hit Evaluate. It came up with the same reasonable times as the original plan, including for those showing no wait on the new plan.

Anyone with an idea why it would be doing this?
 
Glitch maybe. I think it's pretty unreasonable to assume that 7DMT would never have a wait. It is one of the most popular attractions right now.

I'm getting a similar thing on my personalised plans for April 2016. The start of the plan looks reasonable then everything after my lunch break is showing no waits which I know isn't accurate ?!?
 
In the past, I've had great lunch with Touringplans and the "reoptimize" button, even though people say you shouldn't reoptimize the plan. However, I just got back from the parks and TouringPlans was really glitchy for this trip. Found that the lines time app was often extremely incorrect and was pulling times that didn't account for the wait times Disney had posted. The wait times reported in my plan often pulled from their estimate database and not from their lines app. It was really frustrating to see the lines apps tell me something had a 20 minute wait, but the current wait that would show up in the plan claimed the current wait was vastly different.

I ended up with many plans where it gave my free time for hours or suggested I do nothing for hours before lunch.

I contacted them multiple time are they admitted to having issues. What those issues were I don't know, but when I tried to post times on rides often the app told me they weren't open.
