Always. It's not a 100% guarantee but we find it a great guide to aid planning our itinerary.

I don't take the guide as it being absolutely correct, but I do use it as a starting point when I plan which park on which day. I try and miss emh , party nights etc.

I do to an extent. We usually stay on site now so also take into account EMH - we use these first and then use it to choose a park for the afternoon or evening. X

I use it but only very broadly along with other crowd data sources. When you look at the trends you can see that certain parks are busier on certain days of week e.g. avoid Park X on Mondays. Park Y is generally quieter than others at weekends. Also useful for the big picture e.g. end of aug quieter than beginning of Aug.

Individual days are never going to be 100% accurate as things happen within day which can effect crowd levels e.g. weather...traffic... word of mouth...chance.

We or should I say ‘I’ follow the busy day guide. If there are days were a certain park is never recommend then I fit it in around my other plans.
We always do MK on our first day even if it’s not recommended and whilst we are away we don’t stick rigidly to my plan, it’s there as a guid (and because I love planning) but depending on energy levels etc we tweak and go with the flow.
I love a good plan but it’s an holiday not a military operation 😂

I have used it every trip bar the first one and its always worked, this gives me my starting point for the plan, again we take advantage of the ectra early hours and leave mid morning either go back to the hotel for some pool time of another Patk etc.
One year we went with friends that don't plan, she suggested we do a spontaneous day at HS And it was horrendous the q for TOT was about an hour!
So I do think it works 😆

We only do Parks 3 days a week so I do an Excel sheet and when it gets to those days look at the Dibb info and insert which Park fits best.

For example I don't do EMH so plan around that. If it's an evening paid for event at the MK I ditch that Park as there will be no FPs after 3.00pm as they want Guests to bog off to make way for people paying more.
This ^^^

I also cross reference mine with the touringplans day guides too.
There are some days on there that are in the middle and will go then. It’s the red days the worst ones I try to avoid. Medium to best is what I try for and if I can get most days like that it’s better

I’ve never even looked at it to be honest. We pick our days based on the daily park hours and go from there, if it’s busy it’s busy, if it not then it’s a bonus.
