I'm so pleased this thread has popped up. Our trip starts in 5 days and I literally discovered this feature with TP 2 days ago so am frantically learning how it works and planning on using it
What is the difference with optimise vs evaluate? I think this the biggest thing I don't understand! Reading through this thread I get the impression that most of you write you're own plan and use the evaluate function. Slightly concerned if that's what everyone advises as no idea how to write my own plan (hence why using someone else's!)
I think how I'm considering using it is by seeing what time we all end up in a park (hubby is not easy to get out of bed), how long we think we'll stay for, put in what attractions we'd like to do in that time, and let it tell me therefore what order to do them in
In this circumstance would I use optimise or evaluate?
Thanks
we started with a list of rides/attractions we wanted to do that day, added them all to touring plans, added one or 2 small breaks for toilet stops etc, then Optimized, this gave us an indication if we wanted to do too much or too little in our day, we then added or removed rides, and optimized again, once we were happy with start time and end times etc we then had a good look at the plan and tweaked it adding past passes we expected to get and also altered things to stay in certain areas, then we "Evaluated", best to keep a copy of the steps incase you want to go back as there is no back button which is a shame i think. like earlier posts we added some character meets by using rests and changing notes to suit. we now feel we have a full action packed 8 days to look forward too, We just hope touring plans are as accurate as we are expecting! beware though the planning has consumed our lives lately and tweaks were required when the wanted fast passes were not available.
