Please critique my EPCOT, 2 adult, Crowd Level 1 Plan

[carmen]

Now I think I am simply reading too much here on the forums…

I just started to read the All Time ‘Top’ topics in the Touring Plan Forum…

I came across this topic of last year:

Touring Plan wait times were radically different than reality

Just returned on Jan 28th from a 5 day trip with 8 others who were 1st timers at Disney World. We toured together and I planned with a slow pace and plenty of rest/potty breaks for the 4 grandkids. I obtained all our FP and refreshed all the touring plans several days before the trip. We found the wait times for every major ride that we tried riding standby to be at least double if not triple or quadruple the times estimated in the TPs. I was forced to drop 5 or more activities each day and reor…

Were @len posted at post #23 there:

@len

We measure crowd levels by the average posted wait time at certain attractions.

We’re saying that when the number of people in the park might be lower than average, Disney lowers the capacity of the rides so that the average wait time in line is the same as any other day. Disney does this to save money on labor and ride maintenance.

Which means that today I have to HOPE that TP has really figured out how to maintain the, currently still in use, CL1-10 system.

How can the CL1-10 system even work, when the whole CL1-10 system is based on posted wait times and when @len says that Disney now tries to make the same wait times on CL1 and CL10 days by changing ride capacities…

1. Has TP wait time prediction improved since Disney began this draconian ‘bottom line’ practice almost 2 years ago
2. Are TP wait time predictions for RD non-FPP FEA strategies worth planning on
