Ridemax/Touring plans? Either? Neither?

Has anyone used these services? What did you like? Dislike? Do you think it was worth it?? I would love to purchase both, but I'm on a mission to save every penny from now until nov. 2011!!! TIA for any opinions!!!

I've never used Ridemax or Tour Guide Mike

I have used Touring Plans for 6 trips at various times of the year. Following their plans I have never waited more than 15-20 min for ANYTHING (minus a fastpass anomaly).

I swear by their plans and I will be using them again at the end of June when crowds are high.

We use touring plans every trip. If you have the recent unoficial guide to wdw it's only about 7-8 bucks fir the subscription. Also, some of the plans are right in the book.

I have used Tour Guide Mike and Touring plans. I liked touring plans actual touring plans much much better, but I found the information on Tour Guid Mike to be very helpful in their projected busy days and some of his general suggestions. I ended up customizing my own touring plan using the information from these two sites and using passporter's touring plans (these are only available in the book) and we never had a wait of more than an hour and usually because of fast passes these waits were reduced to just minutes. Definitely worth the money.

I asked a similar question for a friend about 6 weeks ago. People gave similar advice and also suggested using the information on the free site Easy WDW.

I recommend Tour Guide Mike. We have used it our past 3 trips and will use it every time from now on.

I have found his green/red/yellow days to be spot on! I have also found his recommended touring plans to be very helpful in missing the lines. We have gone during fourth of July and not waited in line more than a few minutes.
