touringplans.com worth it??????

We used TP a few times because they were free in the back of the book which I borrowed from the library. I will say they are semi unrealistic. They expect you to be at rope drop every day which is very hard to do if you want to see Wishes, Fantasmic or Illuminations. They also leave no time for eating/bathroom breaks or doing anything but running from one end of the park to the next. They did seem to work as we never waited in line for more than 15 minutes for anything even in busy season. However, things may be different with the enforcement of FP return times now in effect. We usually returned with fp late because we felt we had to run to the next attraction! Overall I thought they worked but I would not pay for them. Go to the library and get them free out of the back of the book. Or get someone else's password if they are willing to share it

NO!!! I have it. I tried using it and the entire time we were at WDW the app wouldn't work. I kept going back to EasyWDW. So, No. Not worth the money at all.

I had the paid subscription last year and hardly ever used it. For my trip last September all their recommended days were different than the other site I frequent (EasyWDW) and they were off. EasyWDW's were completely on. I'm sure others will chime in soon with different opinions, this is just my experience with it.

Wow, thanks for the tip! I'm loving EasyWDW, even if it isn't the most user friendly website. I only wish I could go sooner!

We just got back yesterday from our first trip and used easywdw , it was great , we went on the days he recommended and the kids rode TSM 4 times both days we went to Hollywood. His planned worked out for us great , we never stood in line for anything

I use Touring plans for all my trips and it has been accurate for me. The app is great and worked great for me.

I tend to use the crowd calendars and the app more than anything.

Can anyone steer me towards the touring plans on easyWDW's site? I have the touringplans subscription but am trying to compare them to easyWDW's and can't find them on there for the life of me! Thanks!!

I love it. Especially now that they have the Lines app, too. I get the subscription every year.

I've subscribed to TP for years & have enjoyed using their touring plans (we go almost every year). However, for our upcoming trip (leaving next week), the personalized plans no longer make any sense. For example, we'd ideally like to ride TSM twice while in HS. Their advice is to ride it immediately upon entering the park at 9:00, then ride it again. It predicted wait times of 4-11 minutes doing it this way. There is no way that can possibly be accurate. Not in June. Probably not ever at TSM. Sure, if we're the first ones to arrive, our first ride on TSM might be a short line. But by the time we're done, I can't imagine only having an 11-minute wait to ride again. That's just one example of why I will not be using their plans for this trip. EasyWDW makes much more sense for their daily recommendations now, too.

If you click on the easywdw icon at the top of the page, it will take you to the message forums. The very first thread is strategies and touring plans.

We used a touring plan when the crowds were the busiest a 10!!! I would never go on vacation without a plan. Well worth the money!!
