I agree. Even though I can’t modify super easily right now, having the 3 pre booked removes so much stress. Day 2 of our trip and I can just relax without worrying about refreshing and setting reminders every 2 hrs to book another one. I really was not a fan of that.
That's a shame. I know that some people want the service even if I'm not interested. Someone elsewhere said that DVC members can get theirs set up through customer services.
Probably too late, but I don’t think you can switch and I think you have to tap into the park where you reserved your rides. If they didn’t do that, people would reserve the cheapest park then switch. I hope you report back how you made out.
Why not go someplace else like Paris Disneyland or even Japan or other spots in Asia. Those parks outside of the states seem to be better run and more interesting in many cases. Personally since Disney took over Paris Disneyland I think they are trying to get more Europeans to go there instead of the states. They kind of need to prop up the Paris park and denying Europeans any perks might just encourage folks to go there instead of coming to the states.
You can modify to the new park.
You can park hop with no change in price. The example being discussed was changing the first park.
See below as this person is correct. The message I quoted and was referring to was asking about switching all currently booked LLs BEFORE using any of them.
Thank you.
There seems to be a lot of unhappy people regarding this change but i am not one of them....I'm actually thrilled about it for these reasons:
There are a lot of unhappy (and happy) people with any change that's rolled out. Unhappy people when they went from paper FP to online FP+.... unhappy people when they moved to Genie+ (although I will admit I was unhappy about the fees).... unhappy people now with the new LLMP/SP process. We've used all those FP/LL options over the years, liked parts of them and disliked parts of them. But the new one has some definite advantages for us. Looking forward to testing it out in person in several months. I laugh when I look back on all the Genie+ bashing that took place - constantly! Now some folks miss it.....!!
It only costs us fifty bucks to get in and we get to do Universal as well. Once Epic Universe opens you'll see even more International visitors, but most will probably choose to base at Universal instead of Disney if the system doesn't change.
Love this. Happy to have 3 rides booked for first thing, we can RD a headliner and then bang out our 3 LLs and hit some other rides maybe book 1 or 2 more for the late morning or start stacking for after our pool break.
I truly believe the situation at Universal Orlando will also completely change with Epic Universe next year. Their Express Pass and park access rules are going to have to change with the 3rd park. I know the comparisons are often made between the 2 main themed areas, but Epic Universe is very likely not going to be as simple as staying at the Hard Rock and getting Express Pass for the parks.
What I have read says that you should book your tier 1 ride before arrival. If you want to ride a tier 2 ride then pick a time. your second tier 2 ride should be booked as soon as you arrive and can scan it to it or just not booked. That way when you get in you arrive you can see what other tier 1 rides have openings and book it. The tiers are only for pre booking. You can hold 3 reservations but do not have too.
Pretty sure Epic will not have an express pass option for at least the first year. They need to keep the lines moving in their brand new park.
