This is what I'd like to know.

Bloggers on Instagram have confirmed this to be true. You can tap in 5 minutes before.

If they would change the colors of the ILL$ options, or separate them from the rest of the options, that would really help. It’s really confusing when everything says the word lightning lane.

1 hour past park opening slinky dog is gone. Refresh is the only option now.

Star Tours 75 minutes? Ouch, and no thank you!

I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but if I am buying ILL for Remy, can I pick an evening time? I have a park reservation for Epcot, but we usually don't go into the parks until 4 or 5pm.

Yes once you click on it you can pick a time you want from the available options.

That's if you use standby. I would try to use G+ for every ride. If the wait is longer then 20 minutes I skip it.

I won't go round and round anymore. You won't change your mind and I don't want to try to make you do so.

If you only want to do everything once and never want to standby and your value is based on how many attractions you use it on and not how long you wait (whether in line or on a bench waiting for your return window) I'm sure you'll find a way to make it work out so you feel like you got your money's worth and thats all that is important. The more people who take your approach and book morning G+ the better it is for me anyway finding the times I want in the afternoon anyway.

If a later time is available, yes.

What's the grace period?

Like if i book at 2:30 do i have until 3:30 to check in? Or 3?

Not being able to modify standard Genie+ selections is an absolute let down.

Yeah...Im with ya. I just started using ILL and G+.

If you don't know what G+ uses the LL entrance, those acronyms probably won't help anyway. LOL

I want to use it for all rides....like I did with FP. I don't want to be in standby at all. I'm not one that is happy just because a wait is 'only 30 minutes'. Yes, I would use FP on Barnstormer if it meant saving 5 minutes....I would also use it on top rides over and over. Why must it be either quantity or quality?

Because at some point the return time for a popular ride will be several hours away from actual time and likely the last time you could get it for a particular ride.........

Lets say you book SDD for 11am and then your next one you got Smugglers run at 1:30pm....then you go to book ur nexst and its either ToT or RnR, both are the last window of the day..............Do you book one of those or do you book Star Tours, Indian Jones, Toy Story Mania?


If you do the lesser rides then the other 2 sell out before you can get your next ride

I'm going to piggyback off this question. I am travelling in december with my wife and kids. I have an annual pass, but they all have regular tickets. Am I going to have issues making a group for all of us to do LL selections if we have different ticket types? That's going to be a real problem if so.

I am in the same position, and this didn‘t cross my mind until this morning when I clicked on the button to try to purchase Genie +. for an upcoming trip. It said that I could only purchase G+ for members of the group with the same type of tickets that I have and that others would have to purchase through their own accounts.

I don’t know if this just applies to advance purchases or if it will also apply if we purchase each day as it comes.

That by itself is an inconvenience, but I’m hoping that once everyone in the group purchases Genie+ we can all book LL attractions together. I also hope we can all purchase any IALL transactions we want in one transaction.

I wonder if anyone in the parks today has faced this yet.

 

[katyringo]

Y'all.

realize some may not agree with me and that's fine. But I'm not even in the park today and I'm enjoying this looking at fastpasses and strategy and talking about it. It feels like the before times. Idk. It's not a perfect system but so far I am a general fan..

You can only hold ONE G+ reservation at a time correct (I am not including the paid attractions. Just the standard G+ attractions)? I'm just wondering if you book an attraction with a 4pm return window but you booked it at 9am, can you book another attraction at 11am (2 hours later).

Also...find me the idiot who named this program and it's components. I would like to have a word...

 

[wisblue]

Yes once you click on it you can pick a time you want from the available options.

The related question is whether I can select an evening time for Remy at 7AM if I have a park reservation at MK and a hopper ticket.

 

[Wdw1015]

I’ve always used Touring Plans wait times and found them to be much more accurate that Disney’s inflated posted wait times. I was hoping Disney might dial these in so they are more accurate but that does not appear to be the case. Example- Splash Mtn has a posted Disney time of 45 min verses TP actual time of 23 minutes. This makes a difference if I’m doing standby or LL and having to flip back and forth between the apps to determine the correct wait time verses when I can grab a LL for it is a pain. Disney has got to do better with these posted wait times.

Not correct. If you make one at 7am and it's return time is further away than 2 hours after park opening you can make another 2 hours after the park opens and have more than 1.

once park is open you can make one every 2hours OR after you use one.

example:
7 am I book one for 12pm. Park opened at 9.
So at 11 I can book another one and still keep
My one for noon so now I have 2.

I realize now that Disney has set up a prisoner's dilemma for LL access.

Chapcheck banking on $tockholm $yndrome!

No....you can hold 2 and possibly more but that hasnt been determined yet....but 2 has
