Which park on which day?

[leebi]

Hi, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed so I'm hoping you can help. How do you decide which park to go to on which day? I've seen crowd calendars but I am not sure how accurate they are and it seems like everyone I look at is different. What are your strategies?

I always use touringplans.com. What time of year are you going? We go in early September and crowds are very low, but I have found it to be very accurate. It also posts how accurate they were the day after a predicted crowd level, so you can see how well they do with their predictions. I made a decision to not look at too many sites because there are some varying opinions and I would just make myself crazy! I love their phone app too. I think because of the really bad winter we had, the economy picking up and changes to WDW, there is going to be some uncertainty about crowds, however.

My favorite one is at easywdw.com

I consider myself a seasoned WDW visitor but we got Free dining and with the FP+ I know have to know what parks I am going to every day! It's stressing me out too! Should I take advantage of EMH or go with EasyWDW?? I never had to think this much about planning my trip!!

After over 20 years and 30 plus trips, we do our days a little differently.

We look at which parks have an early opening and go to a different park. We also look at which park has a late closing and go to a different park. Those parks are usually less crowded and we don't have to get up so early. We do try to get to the park we choose at least 30 minutes before it opens.

Im in the same boat as alot of you.

I am thinking of doing as the above poster said though and going to whichever ones dont have MM

Our family really likes the benefit of Extra magic hours. I feel like for us, it lets us get the most out of the parks without necessarily having to be super early birds. But that also "might" mean more crowded, depending on if other families think like we do. Although the crowds haven't been an issue for us yet. So I start by designating whichever parks have EMH, & then I scatter the rest thru the week. That's how we decide which park/which day. Good luck

We avoid EMH parks for most of the day but if any of us who aren't tired still feel like more park time, we hop over to the EMH park at night!

We've spent the last 2 Winters 20 minutes from WDW and used Easywdw to decide if we would go to a park at all, and which park to go to - We stuck to his "most recommended" park. We found him to be very accurate.
