Which crowd calendar should I believe?

[mtmbyck]

For Early March, There are discrepancies in the crowd calendars that are listed by undercover tourist and EasyWDW. Anyone know which is more reliable. One says MK is Red ( high crowds so not recommended) and the other shows it Green.

EasyWDW. The first time I used it, I compared it to Touring Plans, which I also had. Easy seemed to be more accurate when it came to which parks to go to and which to avoid.

But make sure you read the details for each day. Some days Josh will recommend, but say something such as If you go early, you can ride whatever you wish. If you arrive after 11 am, forget it. Read everything.

You should use these plans as a guide line only. There is no way to know what it is going to be like on any given day. With the changes in the way things are going at Disney now I don't know how accurate the predictions are. I have been and seen the touring plans be right on and also have seen them be exactly wrong. To me it's a crap shoot. That is why we always get Park Hoppers. If the park we are at gets too crazy we just go somewhere else. YMMV. Have fun.

Exactly what I would said .. You read my mind!

I also agree with this. I love easywdw!

And just to add to this, the recommended parks are usually the ones that close early, don't have EMH, or have limited night time entertainment (ex. No MSEP at MK). So keep this in mind when you make your plans and decide what's important to you.

I had great luck with Touring Plans until I didn't, and then EasyWDW was my go to. I am afraid to put too much stock in either right now. There was a post earlier this week about how off they both were. I think with all of this testing of fastpass+ etc that crowd patterns and wait times are going to be very very hard to predict with the old reliable methods. I would still go with EasyWDW recommendations for what parks to go to on what days, but I am going in prepared for the unexpected because everything is so up in the air right now.

We go with Josh, hands down the best.
I steered a group of 11 around WDW in August and they were in awe of how much we managed to get done. All credit to EasyWDW.

Another vote for Easy WDW.

And I love reading his blogs. He's got that sarcastic sense of humour! Hilarious especially when he's making fun of touring plans. lol

Thanks all. I know they are just predictions but it is a good guideline

Easy WDW for sure. I have a subscription to Touring Plans and for my last 2 trips I picked dates with low crowd levels based on Touring Plans crowd calendar. Then about a month out or maybe less they increased the crowd calendar substantially. I see no value in going by their predictions.
