Can I get some clarification to make sure that I understand "accelerating" Lightning Lanes/MEPs? There is a lot of info on this thread, but I couldn't find a post that clearly explains how this whole process is supposed to work (maybe it's there but I couldn't find it).
I think I understand "fishing" for an MEP: I would make a regular
Lightning Lane reservation with G+, say for Indiana Jones, and I would hope that the ride is broken down during my time slot, since then my Indiana Jones times LL slot will automatically convert to a Multi-Experience Pass (MEP), which can be used on (almost) any other ride, and has no time restrictions (except that it must be used that day).
Then, I can make another regular Lightning Lane reservation with G+ - let's say that I make one for Space Mountain for the 1pm-2pm time slot, and say that it's currently 10am. "Accelerating" means that I can immediately go to Space Mountain, and I can tap in at the Lightning Lane entrance, and even though my Space Mountain Lightning Lane shouldn't work until 1pm, it somehow will let me in, because I have the MEP. After riding Space Mountain, my 1pm Space Mountain LL slot will be gone, but my anytime MEP will remain. Then, I can repeat the process all day, and I can use any new LL that I book immediately, rather than wait until the posted time.
But, if I were to try to ride something for which I didn't have a LL reserved (e.g. Big Thunder), and tap through the LL entrance, then it would take my MEP, and I would not be able to continue doing this (unless I got another MEP somehow).
Is that all correct?
And, if it is correct, why does this work? This is clearly like a glitch or an oversight or something, right? Is this something that Disney is aware of and looking to fix?
