I have found that some people swear by touring plans and some don't.
I have never used a touring plan and I have never felt the need. However, I do go enough to where if I miss something then I don't stress because I know I'll be back sometime soonish.
This may be me jumping the gun a bit but I think a lot of people who use touring plans have kids..and I think for them it's very effective. While when DH and I go we can pretty much figure out what we want to see and the best way to aviod crowds.
My suggestion is read up on ALL the rides..figure out which ones you really want to see. Then when you get to the park take it in for a few minutes and try to see which way people are moving and go the opposite way. My DH and I went for our honeymoon last year in mid-October and we had a great time BUT it was pretty packed..so don't be suprised if it's a little more busy than you expect.
