Which park on which day?

[kristin144]

How do you decide which parks are best to visit on each day? I have looked at various crowd calendars and they all seem to have different advice. Do you think crowds at mk really vary that much between a Tuesday and a Wednesday? I am just wondering how you plan out which parks you visit which day. (If it matters at all, we will be there Jaunary 29 to February 3rd)

I tend to go loosely by crowd calendars to start, and then I'll change based on available adrs if necessary. If it's close (like yellow vs green or yellow vs red) I just go by where I'd rather be.

I follow the advice of easywdw. We don't necessarily go by a touring plan as to do what attraction in each order, but we do follow his recommendations on the best park to visit on a particular day. If you have not been to his site, I suggest going and having a look.

No, day of the week for the most part doesn't matter. Weekends will be a bit busier at any park, simply because you'll get locals coming in for the weekend. But beyond that Tuesday is no different than Thursday. Time of year is MUCH more important than day of the week. It's kind weird, WDW is a place where time almost has a different meaning.

We use Josh's Easy. Works well. The crowded vs. less crowded parks depend on various factors...emh AM/PM, special park activities, etc. The calendar takes the guess work out of it, makes it easy.

I ignore crowd calendars. Advice from guidebooks years ago said to avoid MK on Saturday, but it is usually less busy on Sunday. If I am going to EMH, I go to the park that has it. We always have hoppers. I look at the park hours for each park. Other than that, I just go where I want to, and have always been happy.

I do use crowd calenders...
For example, on days that have MNSSHP or MVMCP, MK is picked as the best park to visit. I have always found this to be true. Opposite that, MK is crazy busy the days there is no party, because it's open late.
Found Epcot to be really busy on F&W, Christmas season, and F&G days, especially weekends. ( And depending on CP narrators)
So, since I do not wish to figure out all this info on my own, I utilize TP to help me out.
Are they perfect? Absolutely not, but I have found crowd calenders to really help with my trip planning.
