Hello ALL!! A quick question about crowds. I am going with the fam October 20-27. I originally had HS for Wednesday and AK for Thursday. Kenny the Pirate is telling me to switch these 2 around. I know either way will work but what do you guys think?
Thanks!
I don't follow any. I use to follow KTP (when he decided that he had rights to charge people for information on the refresh method I unfollowed on all social media ) but really they all just want to commercialize on common sense.
I go with the expectation that everyday will be busy and utilize fastpasses and the refresh method. Doing this has never let me down. Your best bet is just to have a good plan.

I just looked at the Lines app, and funny enough, the crowd levels are 9/10 this week, but the wait times are the exact same as when I was there 2 weeks ago and the crowds were only 5/10 or 6/10. Yeah there's more people around, but looking at this snapshot it makes no difference on actual ride wait times. I'm sure it affects getting a table at a QS restaurant, and transportation and all that, but the ride waits are the exact same.
I have a habit of looking at Kenny the Pirate's and Touring Plans and making decisions based on what they both agree on. Lately, though, the overlap seems rare if at all, and our last two trips didn't seem to line up with either (other than the fact that the week of Christmas was, of course, busy).
I'm curious which crowd calendar all of you DISers find most reliable? If not one of these two, which?

Crowd calendars seemed to work great for us through 2014. I would always chart the predictions from Touring Plans; Kenny the Pirate; Undercover Tourist and EasyWDW etc. and usually find some consensus to plan our days. For our 2017 trip none of the calendars were even close....and that includes the weather forecasts. The crowd predictions were way low and the late April/early May temperatures were hotter and drier than we expected. Rain would have cut the crowds and cooled everyone off but no such luck.
For my 2019 trip in November I plan to look at the calendars in general but also the MVMCP party dates. Since I always have a PH I will adjust plans on the spot and go where I can get the Fastpasses I really want. It's really a shame though because I think using those calendars helped many people plan their trips.....
