We used the touring plans during Easter last year and they worked perfectly. Our group consisted of my parents in their 70's, myself and my husband (who shall remain ageless!) and our daughters 7 and 9 yrs. My daughters were real troopers. They held up through the whole trip. Their only complaint was taking the afternoon nap the first day. By the second day they understood how important it was. Following the touring plans and tips in the book kept us from standing in long lines and really made the trip enjoyable. I even bought the new edition this year for our trip.
