Thank you @drvillarejos !! This is very helpful and practical advice. I have 2 months until the visit, so plenty of time to update it as the algo improves. I guess I was just surprised by the output of optimization as presented to me atm, but seems like everything is far too early to be considered baked/realistic.
I should think my plan (everything that is not a meet and greet, for folks who do early drop and express pass) is pretty common one, such that it would be one of the standard plans for Epic. Hoping there are a few “7” and “8” crowd days between now and then that can help the algo improve for my situation….
Am extremely curious to see what @len will advise when he has time to chime in.
