Crowd Calendar

[Nick Wilde]

What is the best most reliable crowd calendar for WDW? This would be a great tool for when we get our AP's.
Thank you in advance

I can think of two: Touring Plans (they have an app too) and Your First Visit.net.

Thanks. I'll check 'em out.

I like easy WDW's. I used Touring Plans for a couple of trips and while I know many swear by them, I found them to be way off.

I agree with the three sites recommended by the previous posters -- I've used them all. Each one may be "off" on some of their day-by-day predictions, but I find that in general, they're pretty good about figuring out the best weeks of the year to visit (and are all generally in agreement about that). I rely on them more to plan the timing of our visit rather than which park to visit on which particular day. In the end, a good touring plan and an early arrival will always do more to help you beat the crowds than visiting the "right" park.

I would not just rely on one. There are 4 different sites or so I believe with crowd calendars, and like @Weather_Lady stated, they can differ from site to site. I Always look at all of them and then base my decisions after that.

Easy wdw has been the most accurate IMO but I wouldn't plan my vacation around them. They can be way off at times, I just look once in awhile to get a general idea of last years crowds at certain times

Also, remember that there are variables for which the crowd calendars just can't account, such as the weather -- for example, crowds will be lower during a couple of days of torrential rain, but then swell beyond the norm for a couple of days after the weather clears. The crowd calendars are, in the words of the pirate code, "more what you'd call guidelines..."
