Default Best & Worst Parks (crowd wise) on touring plans website

For those of you familiar with the touring plans website and look at the calendar for best park/park to avoid for each day...I have a question.

If the best park for the day is MK, and the one to avoid is AK, what about the other 2? Epcot & HS? Does it mean those two would be "ok" to visit (crowd wise?). I'm trying to use a variety of resources to think about which park for which day and if touring plans doesn't have it listed, I was curious. Any idea anyone???

Sorry, no. I generally do not pay any attention to the touring guides re: crowds.

The main consideration for the recommended parks on Touring Plans is the EMH schedule. They do not recommend parks that have EMH as they tend to attract more crowds.

Touring Plans does this because of the reasoning that many people do not get up early enough to take advantage of morning EMH (or stay up late enough to get the real advantage for evening EMH). If you're early risers and know that you'll be at the park for opening, it is recommended that you do EMH and enjoy the park in the morning. When it gets more crowded around late morning, hop to another park for the rest of the day.

I am a big fan of the touring plans website (and their related podcast). However I never really look at their 'best parks' -- solely because we are early risers who are at the parks for opening, then hop to another park in the afternoon.

Hope that helps!
Kathy
