7am Strategy for MK in July?

[tigertides]

Will be headed with teenagers in a few weeks.
Will splurge on G+, ILL+, and using RD.

What is my plan for attack? Want to minimize waiting in lines, but would like to re-ride TRON and TBA if possible.

What do I do first? And remaining order of things?
Will have 2nd family member (new to G+) helping with this too

Also, how long are the VQ lines currently?
Last time we did RotR, it was still a 40min line (as opposed to ILL+)

My initial plan:

1. VQ+ for Tron?
2. VQ+ for TBA?
3. G+ for TBA?
4. ILL+ for Tron/7DMT
5. G+ for Jungle Cruise (120min rule)
6. Rope Drop SM and hit Tomorrowland
7. 2nd Rope Drop for BTMRR/HM

Should I not even bother with 7am VQ and hope for 1pm?

I'll be in Disney starting Wednesday and my plan is to go for a G+ for Tiana's first. I'm hoping a lot of people will go for the VQ for Tiana's first but who knows. I have five nights in Disney and 3 days planned for MK in the hopes of getting on it at least once. If I'm able to snag a G+ for Tiana then I'll decide if I want to drop $20 for Tron. It's almost 8am now and they still have Tron available for purchase as well as 7dmt so those are ones I can do last.

Just a heads up that you can only hold one VQ at a time. You will need to decide between Tron and TBA for your 7AM VQ.



Also, you can get your first G+ return time at 7AM (TBA or Jungle Cruise) but then you will need to wait for 120 mins after park opening to book your second G+ LL.

If TBA adventure is important definitely go G+ and 7 am VQ/ILL for Tron. With Peter Pan going down July 8th, this is going to impact G+ and wait times.

Looks like we have help:Link here

I saw something that Tron and TBA are going to have stand by lines (can’t find it now). Has anyone else read about that?

Disney has confirmed that it will drop the virtual queue for Tiana's Bayou Adventure and TRON Lightcycle Run during the 2024 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights at Magic Kingdom.


This is the only thing I've seen

I’m traveling with teens as well next week, and I’m planning on all of us becoming creatures of the night.
But, if we start touring at like 5PM how do we go about buying ILL for that time?
Between the heat and the teens and the EEH we just don’t plan to rope drop.
Any suggestions other than early entry?

What date are you going? Everything changes on Wed, Jul 24th. There will no longer be Genie+ or ILL$. They are being replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass (LLMP) and Lightning Lane Single Pass (LLSP).

If going prior to Jul 24th, you can purchase ILL$ at 7 AM for both Tron and SDMT if you wish.

We do not have details starting Jul 24th.

I will be there for both systems!

Once we move to LLSP I’ll be good, you can pick the time.

But when trying to buy ILL the current system, how do I ensure a later time? Or do I just show up late? I recall Tron doesn’t play around with lateness, they will deny, lol. But is GoTG or RotR or FoP more forgiving?

When you purchase the current ILL$ you choose your return time from a group of available times. If you want to ride later in the day, you can select a time when you book.
