Light “schedule” but what about lightening lanes?

[Disfamily55]

Tomorrow my window opens up to book lightening lanes. This is a different trip for us so I’m trying to figure out the right balance. We go to WDW often (1-2 times a year for 4-5 nights) this trip is 6/26-7/4 split hotel stay. Here’s a rough copy of my schedule. How would you go about booking lightening lanes or not? I included my ideas for what I want. The name of the game this trip was more laid back and going with the flow. Asif ha!

We do utilize early entry and will utilize extend evening hours when we can. We will probably only do AK once and arrive before EEH for Safari. We have park hoppers with water park option.

6/26- Thurs travel to Orlando.
Friday - get settled at POFQ/swim/MK ILL for Mine Train?
Saturday - Typhoon Lagoon/Disney Spring
Sunday- daddy/daughter night at MK for Space Mountain and Tiana
Monday - switch to Beach Club/Cape May 10:00am/ Epcot EEH
Tuesday - mommy/daughter night slinky dog night ride
Wednesday - Animal Kingdom EEH/ ILL for FOP?
Thursday - BBB 6:55pm/MK night
7/4 Friday - check out?

Not answering your exact question, but maybe consider switching your Typhoon Lagoon day to Thursday or Monday to take advantage of the free water park perk on check-in day rather than paying for a separate ticket?

I think they have the waterpark option included in their tickets already. Looks like a good plan to me!

Ahh, thank you, totally missed that part.

But why pay for the option when you get it free??

I have tickets that include the waterpark and we will get it too late to use the hotel benefit Thursday and Mondays change to BC we will use as a resort day before EEH. The waterpark add on was thankfully included not extra.

OP, are you planning on buying LL just for the few rides you have listed on your schedule? I wouldn’t bother with them, personally, unless I was going to use it all day.

I think just the two ILL I mentioned and maybe a Guardians? We’ve always done for the full LL pass for each park + these ILL but I feel like between the number of days, early entry and extended evening hours its probably not necessary? But it’s the first trip we have ever done this way so I guess I want to make sure it’s not crazy

We used LLMP for the first time last Sep for our 8-day trip and honestly, did not really need it. This Aug/Sep we’re taking family who è ne er been and decided not to them this year for the portion of the trip family is with us (my cousin is super “cheap”, her word lol). The 2nd half I’ll probably just buy Guardians since it’s our favorite ride. Let us know how your trip went without them!
