Disney World MultiPass Scheduling Woes

[gottalovepluto]

A bit late to the party, but I had a lot of issues with modifying LL back in September, it wouldn't let me change the times or rides at all. Similarly I could see that there were earlier times available for the rides than what was originally assigned, but the app would not let me change anything, even though there were no issues with overlapping times or ADRs. We've gone through this LL process for a handful of trips and I've never experienced anything like this before, usually I've been able to modify with ease. I ended up reaching out to a CM via the in app chat and they were able to modify the times to the earlier ones I was seeing, so that's always an option when the app is acting up...

Needed to do that with my first ride on both my MK days today. Chat moved them to the earlier times I saw that the app wouldn't give me (despite no conflicts). Thanks for the tip! (A quick search seems to indicate this especially plagues MK.)

I was just watching AllEars video on the stacking thing last night if people want a more in-depth blow by blow on it. They put the vid together about 4 months ago and said its been working for over a year. They stick to the grace period of 2 extra hours link

It’s nice to hear more widespread discussions on the extended grace period. That seemed to be a touchy subject here until very recently.

Did not make it to AK till 10:30 this morning. By the time I tapped into my first LL (EE), I already had 5 stacked. As promised, here’s the screenshot after I grabbed my fourth lightning lane from the hotel room after the first one expired, without ever tapping into a ride:

Did you try to use any of these outside of the grace period?

No, we weren’t quite that late.

It'll be just my luck that when we go back to WDW (either July or August, need to figure that out), Disney will have closed this loophole! We went sans LL this last trip (which was just fine) but I'd definitely love to use this! In the DL thread, I read all the pages about using their LL loophole only to get to the end and find out they closed the loophole But glad for all of you to keep putting this to the test!

Was that the Acceleration Method that used to be widely discussed on the Disneyland board? We used that last summer and it was like having a Premier Pass for both parks each day. I was sorry to see that one go.

Yes!! It sounded so awesome to do and got all excited and then, wah wah, nope. Gone! Hoping this method at WDW sticks around for a bit!

It's a nice option to be able to wait and ride a bit later if needed, but as far as stacking goes, I don't really think it is that useful.

Since you have to be in the park early to tap into the first ride to unlock other tier 1 rides anyway, you might as well go on the rides towards the beginning of their time slots instead of waiting until they expire. You get to book your next ride almost an hour earlier each time vs waiting for them to expire.

The only really useful thing I can think to use this for is on a day when ride waits are very low in the morning but you expect them to get long in the next few hours. Let a few expire and book for when the busy time will be, then do standby in other rides while the wait times are low before tapping into the expired attractions or attractions you booked after the first few expired.

Recent reports have shown that you do not have to tap in to the first ride to unlock an additional Tier 1 attraction, as long as your first multi pass is also a Tier 1. This could be very useful if you are arriving later in the day and want to build up a stack of passes before you enter the park.
