Calendar confusion

[jengrey]

I'm starting to plan my fall (9/30-10/6) trip and am wondering...which calendar does everyone trust/go by (especially when it comes to EMH's)? The two calendars I'm looking at the most are the calendar on the Disney site and then this calendar: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/parkhours3/october2015v2.pdf
I'm not sure how often Disney updates its calendar on their site (I'm guessing fairly often), but I wasn't sure of everyone else's take on it.

I follow Disney's website and only Disney's website. I also make sure to check the mobile app every day on my trip. Last month I was able to make a 3 park day into a 4 park day because Disney added an hour to Magic Kingdom's hours that same day (AK in the morning, DHS in the afternoon with fastpass - and surprise! an extra toy story mania after I used all three fastpasses, the boat to EPCOT for dinner and Illuminations, left through the back gate and hopped on a bus from Yacht and Beach to MK in time for dole whip for dessert and even a few rides!).

Thanks, Disney Stine! Hopefully, something similar will happen to us! I'm kind of bummed that there aren't any PM EMH's for Magic Kingdom on my dates, but I guess it's the time of the year, coupled with MNSSHP going on.

which calendar does everyone trust/go by

If you're going to Disney then you only use their information (after all, they're operating the parks).

That PDF looks like pretty much like it's ripped from the Disney TA calendar PDF, layout and font's included. No idea how often they correct any changes to that PDF. In an ideal world, the calendar on the WDW site would be 100% authoritative, but it is often a few days late on updates. The TA calendar is usually the first to be updated, and most of the unofficial sites base their copies of the calendar off of that data. As far as the accuracy for any unofficial site goes, it all depends on how good they are about updating their info. Steve is usually pretty good about updates here, but I can't speak to most other sites as I don't bother with their info.

It is, it states it in the pdf

Yes it does. Totally skipped that when I first read it. My comments about the speed/frequency in which it gets updated still stand however.

I check allears.net sometimes as well.
