Liner Daily Tip #44 – Optimizing Personalized Touring Plans – Posted 12/02/13
Every time you optimize a Personalized TP, run the optimizer several times until the results are stable. The optimizer is designed to find the best result within a given timeframe not the overall best result, so additional runs may improve your plan.

Liner Daily Tip #45 – Park Times Guides – Posted 12/03/13
When you enter a park, always get a Times Guide and check it against your TP. WDW often makes last-minute changes that may affect your plan.

Liner Daily Tip #46 – Print your Touring Plans – Posted 12/04/13
Smartphones are great, but they have been known to fail at the most inopportune of times. Make sure to have a printout of your TP as a backup in case you have problems.

Liner Daily Tip #47 – Personalized Touring Plan Times – Posted 12/05/13
When entering times into a Personalized TP, remember to use Military Time (e.g 5:00 PM = 17:00). Not that we have ever scheduled dinner at LTT for 5:30 AM in a plan…

Liner Daily Tip #48 – Re-Optimizing in the Parks – Posted 12/06/13
If you’re re-optimizing TPs while in the park with the App, mark off the steps you have completed as “Done”, making sure to mark the most recent step last before you Optimize because it assumes that you are at the last “Done” step.

Liner Daily Tip #49 – Waiting vs Walking – Posted 12/07/13
When Optimizing TPs in the Web interface the criteria for best possible order is defined by the “Waiting vs. Walking” slider, where you set whether you want to minimize walking, minimize waiting in line, or balance the two (default).
