Exactly! I don’t think it’s as much a loophole as it is a different strategy. Some people might prefer this stacking for the later park, others might prefer to use as many as they can by starting earlier in the day. Different strategies for different touring strategies.
You could, but remember that you have to tap into your reserved park before you’re allowed to hop to another park.
Well - there is no official definition of loophole and this is seemingly working as designed . It’s a “loophole” in the sense that there is a way to reserve rides outside of the strict sequential distribution system which could have some trickle down effects. That’s not to say it’s “bad” or “good”. It’s just an exception to how the system generally works.
Yes. You can book ILL$ at different parks but not more than two ILL$ total for the day. When you attempt to book ROTR you will need to tap the "change park" link near the top of your tip board and then choose HS. Then scroll down to ROTR to purchase. Don't worry if the displayed return time is before 2 PM. Genie knows that you can't hop to HS until after 2:00 and will allow you to select from 1-hour intervals (i.e. 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM, etc). Choose the people in your group who will ride. Choose a hour that suits you and you will be given a number of return times from which to choose (e.g. 3:10, 3:25, 3:50). You pick one and pay on the next screen.
Offsite guests can purchase ILL$ at the time of park opening. The unanswered question is which park's opening....I believe it's the park you have a reservation for, but it might also be the park you're booking in? In either case, you will be able to buy the ILL$ pass for the park you're hopping into via the app. No need to go to the park. You will need to add the hopping park onto your Tip Board and then the options for that park will be available to purchase for 2pm or later.
Touring Plans tested this. You can make reservations for your 2nd park starting at the time that the park you have reservations opens at. So if AK opens at 8 and Epcot at 10, if you have a reservation at AK, you can book an ILL for Remy at 8 (but it will be for after 2 pm).
& this would be accomplished only on day of re purchase the after 2 pm ILL$
Still trying to figure that out on MDX app, need to watch some tutorials me thinks.
You can make an additional G+ reservations 120 min after you make the first one - starting at park opening. So if you make a reservation at 7 am, and you return times is after 11, you can make an additional one 2 hours after park opening. So technically a 9 and an 11 will not work.
Yeah, I wouldn't call it a loophole. I mean, you can purchase two ILL and also stack G+ at your reserved park too. No difference.
Why not book your second G+ LL at 11 at AK, use it and each time you tap in book another AK ride, until midday or whenever you leave for lunch and then book a second G+LL at MK? I think this gives the same result as your option, but you get some extra use of G+ at AK.
