Which Crowd Calendar? So Confused!

[newmannsmomtoo]

Hello Experts,

We are all booked and ready to go to Disney!!! We have been a couple of times before, but not over a "busy" time. We are going the week after Easter and are hoping that since Easter is so late this year, that everyone's spring breaks have been spread out some, so it won't be sooooo bad. We have our fast passes booked and our dinners. I am just trying to finalize our game plan:

1, Should we rope drop one park, hit the must rides at that one and hop on over to another park for our fast passes and dinner. For instance, we don't have a ton to do in AK, really just the Safari ride and maybe the rapids. We have done most everything else a few times and the kids are good with that. So I thought we could hit those then head to MK for some fast passes and late hours.

2. Same with HS, get there at rope drop and sign up for the Jedi Academy and then ride TOT and Star Tours. They don't want to do RNR coaster or toy story. Then many a few of the "lesser" rides, then head back to MK to do fast passes.

Also, I am really confused at the difference in the crowd predictions and which parks are recommended on each day. I have been looking at Easywdw, Touring Plans, and Undercover Tourist and get different information at each one. Any recommendations on whose is most generally accurate?

Just trying to maximize our time and money.

Thanks,
Karen

We'll be there that same week, and have the same hopes for lesser crowds due to non-Easter-linked Spring Breaks taking place at other times.

Our plan is doing RD at early EMH parks, then leaving after lunch to take a break before heading to one of the "recommended" parks with our FPs. I'm going by the EasyWDW crowd maps for planning, but I'm really hoping TouringPlans is right! Unfortunately, MK is EMHs a LOT that week, so we're just going to have to suck it up and cope, since we do have two full days there.

We'll be there the same week! I too am confused by all the crowd calendars. But I think we'l be doing rope drop at the parks and taking advantage of EMH for those days we want to sleep in a little bit.

I'd recommend Easywdw over the others. Not only do I find the information very accurate, it's also an entertaining read as well.
