We used these for our April trip and did well. I liked reading the reasoning behind the suggestions.

I saw that one and wondered if the others are any more "right" or if they all say the same thing. They were up for our dates a few days ago, I just didn't study them. Not sure if we should go or just wait. It's great to know theirs worked well for you!

I had the Touring Plans subscription. Most of the predictions were close. Sometimes, they were totally opposite. But, trying to get all the parks in made it so that we had to go on higher crowd days anyway. The Tuesday we were there MK was listed as 3rd on Easy and a level 5 on TP. It was the highest on TP of the parks. It was so not crowded that day because the forecast was the worst all week weather wise. We did a ton of stuff and barely got wet :). The next day, we decided to stay at the resort for a pool, fun day. MK was listed as the place to be and we had been going to go there. So a 4 on TP and a #1 on Easy. Ended up being a 9! I watched the wait times on my phone at times and wow we were glad we weren't there!

But, I did find most of the days were close enough between the sites. What are your dates? My SIL still has TP and I can ask her to check.

Not-So-Scary Season Brings Not-So-Scary Crowds
by Fred Hazelton

October is the first of the festive seasons that flood Disney World in the fall of each year. The low crowds of September give way to the moderate crowds of October. Guests of the Magic Kingdom must be aware of the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party schedule, it has a big impact on crowds.
How we did yesterday - Saturday, October 11, 2014
At Magic Kingdom we predicted a crowd level of 6. The actual crowd level was an 8
At Epcot we predicted a crowd level of 6. The actual crowd level was a 6
At Disney's Hollywood Studios we predicted a crowd level of 6. The actual crowd level was an 8
At Disney's Animal Kingdom we predicted a crowd level of 7. The actual crowd level was a 7
Our wait times predictions were within 3 minutes for the following attractions: Soarin' (0 min), Mission: SPACE Green (+1 min)
We were within 5 minutes: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (-5 min), Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin (+4 min), Living with the Land (+4 min)
We were within 7 minutes: Mission: SPACE Orange (-7 min), Jungle Cruise (+6 min), Spaceship Earth (+6 min), The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (+7 min), The Haunted Mansion (+7 min), Kilimanjaro Safaris (+7 min)
We were within 10 minutes: Primeval Whirl (-9 min), DINOSAUR (-9 min), Star Tours: The Adventures Continue (+8 min), Peter Pan's Flight (+8 min)
* The attractions above come from our core group of 25 attractions used in calculating crowd levels. Wait times predictions are the average posted time between 10am and 5pm

We used these for our April trip and did well. I liked reading the reasoning behind the suggestions.

We've used both Touring Plans (paid) and the easywdw calendars. Honestly, the free ones on easywdw are just as accurate as far as I've been able to tell. Every so often there will be a bust, but that happens whenever you're trying to predict the future.

it might not be as precise, but why not just download the wait time app for your phone?
