I just got an update from Touring Plans telling me all my crowd predictions have gone from low to high. I'm pissed and thinking about canceling my trip. I don't deal with crowds well.

I don't know if they've improved their algorithm or whatever it is they use but for a while their crowd estimates were really bad.

Their crowd predictions are poo poo, and that time of year you're going to be fine. Don't fret. EPCOT might be a little crowded during wine and dine weekend, but the rest of the parks will be fine.

I'm going 6/21-27, based on touring plans I'm hosed. I'm not worried, it's always crowded somewhere in Disney and there is plenty to do.

Last October I was at Disney and the crowds were so heavy. I have crowd PTSD. I'll never go in October again because of that. Touring Plans predicted much lower crowds than there actually were so I think that's why I'm freaking out. But I've had this trip planned for over a year and I might die if I don't go, so I guess I'll suck it up and deal. Between this and the clusterfuck that was dining availability this week and last week, I'm very much over free dining.

They're as accurate about hih crowds as they are about low, if it makes you feel any better.

To be fair, me knowing everyone at Disney world has become sort of a running joke among them. Godspeed to everyone coming out for the 24 hour event. I got to the park about 10pm last year and closed it out but this year the family I'll be with has already said they want to do MK so I'll be there in the trenches.

This will be our 5th trip and we've gone at all different times, though this will be our first June trip. There is so much to do that if its way to crowded we know to just find something else to do or go to the pool. We are also spending a day at Universal this year so that will be an interesting twist to the trip.

I always preferred easywdw crowd calendars. It might be mostly due to how much I love his cynical posting on the site.

I follow his reports when I am looking to go to a park on a day off, and it never steers me wrong. I also chatted with him over lunch once (humble brag, I guess?) and he's very nice.

Can you activate more than one MB for an account? Since I see them as fashion accessories more it would be nice to mix and match to outfits and stuff without the next to activate daily. Or can I only do one and everytime I'm at the park I have to activate the MB I want for the day.

Disney Area Goons: Ya'll don't know anybody looking for roommates do you? I am desperately looking. My current situation seems poised to blow up at any moment, I am staying with a friend, but the roommate in his house that likes to play parent has started taking issue with it. I am trying to find something near West Clock, like within walking or biking distance, or someplace that I can catch a bus to West Clock (the 50 goes to TTC and the 56 goes to West Clock directly, so I can finagle with those) This sucks. I wish I had more money to just rent an apartment of my own, but I just had all my bills pay at once, so I can't even begin to put down a deposit.

Thanks to demonR6 and Braksgirl, I am getting pretty set for my 30th birthday trip in December Now I just have to figure out.... everything else. Like oh god, where do I do my birthday dinner?!?! I kinda want to go to Boma, but I hate the idea of leaving a park to eat. I want to maximize my time. And what if Im at Universal that day for crowd reasons!? How much can I reasonably get done in EPCOT in 2 hours?! So excitttteeeddddddddd

If I had a comp ticket, I'd totally go, but my usual free pass is blocked out (which I totally get) so I will stay home and read the war stories on Facebook.

I think the Mine Cart bucket I picked up earlier this year was like $15. I know shipping will be stupid, but if it's around that at the park I'm good for it. Thanks for checking it out for me!

The Mickey buckets from MNSSHP are $12, so they're probably about that much. You can tell them not to put the popcorn in if you don't want it.

Yes, was not even thinking she was referring to an event. They might be charging more since SWW gives them a good reason. I'll go check later when I loop back around to the shops. I was on another magic band run today and got the second poster in the series.

I'm an annual passholder at Disneyland, and I go with my boyfriend all the time. I want to go to Disneyworld REAL BAD but I need to have money for that to be a thing, so I'm reading this thread to relieve my travel desire. Question: are vegetarian options as pervasive there as they are here in CA? There's one in every single in-park restaurant. I realize I could comb over every menu to get this information but I would just like a general overview.
