How to choose park days (Aug 21) when you have no idea of busy days/opening hours?

It is just going to be pot luck isn't it? And hoping that things change, and more information is available closer to the time? I am going to book the days, because I can, but it does feel a little pointless to do it so early.

I feel adrift without a planning guide - no way of knowing what restrictions will be in place, what restaurants will be open, whether or not park-hopping will be allowed (the cast member I spoke to last time I changed our booking told me that water parks wouldn't count in the 'no park-hopping' rule).

I am not a planner, but I do miss being able to try and work out what we are doing when, drawing on other people's experience. Planning with no information is totally unsatisfying
