Am I understanding this correctly? Genie+, $iLL, early access & staying at SOG

[01Sweetpea]

We (me & 3 20something yos) are staying at SOG on 12/6 & 12/7 and are coming from Universal.

Can we use early entry if we haven’t checked into SOG before going to the parks?

On 12/6 the plan is to go to HS then hop to Epcot. Ideally we would be AT HS before 8am. Trying to figure out if it’s better to go to SOG first, park the car, let them know we are there, doubtful we can check in before 4pm, then take Disney transportation to HS OR drive from Universal to HS, then drive to Epcot, then check into SOG when we are finished our day.

Also can I buy Genie+ before 7am on 12/6, book LL for SDD, then get a ILL$ for ROTR? Then once we are in Epcot after 2pm, try to get in the VQ for Remy? OR can I buy Remy ILL$ at 7am?

12/7 will be MK early morning then a hop to AK. I’m not sure I’ll get Genie+ for this day.

The more I think about all this, the more confused I get.

Thanks!

You won't be able to get three paid LL in one day. You'll need to choose two from SDD, ROTR and Remy.

You should be able to go straight to the park, just have your resort check-in info pulled up to show the cast members. You would definitely be able to buy Genie+ before 7am and get a LL pass for SDD, but I can't remember for sure on getting the ILL$ for Rise (ps you have the abbreviations backwards in your post). Remy boarding groups seem to be going faster, so might not be able to get the boarding group, but you can get the ILL$ after you get RotR.

SDD isn't a paid individual attraction, so RotR and Remy ILL$ and SDD LL will be fine.

Thanks! I fixed the abbreviations!

I stand corrected!

It's all good. These paid passes are confusing.

You won't be able to get in the VQ for Remy but you CAN buy the ILL$. You are able to buy 2 ILL$ per day, doesn't matter which ones in which park.

You can book LL for slinky @7 for the ‘next available time’ which could already be mid-day/early evening
You can “try” booking your IA$ at 7 as well but more than likely you will need to wait till park open since technically you aren’t checked in yet (this may result in slim to no ROTR availability)
