Those 2 attractions are not good choices to use as a "burner" LLMP to unlock tiers and even Multi Park LLMP selections. They start too late in the morning. The first B &B Show is not until 11 AM (way to late), and Frozen Sing-Along start at 9:30 AM well after park opening time.
Yes the 7 day advanced purchase booking for LLMP and/or LLSP booking windows are based on your on-site Resort stay start date and not on date of your First planned Park visit or ticket valid dates. Example your on-site resort stay begins on a Sunday then your 7 days begins at 7 AM on the Sunday before that.
Thanks so much for the detailed reply!
I personally don't believe in using "burner" LLMP attractions. Please be considerate of other guests and just book your first LLMP of the day as close to the time you will actually enter the park, and if you want to be an outlaw I suggest you chose an LL attraction as close to the entrance as possible if you must use a burner attraction. It is easy to figure out which LL attractions are canidates to be a burner.
Officially the answer is NO and your 7 day booking window would be 7 days before your second resort stay. Now your tickets may allow some flexibility depending on the type of tickets and when they are valid. For example are your tickes part of a package?
Definitely not trying to cheat the system, just trying to get the most out of the lightening lanes! I plan on rope dropping and was hoping to book something in that first time slot of official park open so I could have the best chance of securing another tier 1 ride. So I was wondering if I booked something like tea cups that I don’t particularly have a desire to ride if I could just tap in and exit, ideally though I would love to secure an early time for one of my favorite rides!
Thanks for the advice! My goal is to rope drop and then scan in for my first ride to unlock the tiers to maximize the amount of tier 1/ hard to book tier 2 rides I can book!
Frozen starts at 9:30 but the LL window opens at 9:05, 5 minutes after park open on most days. It's the best option if you're looking for a burner at HS.
I think Disney sorta forces some people to do this because of the locks on the system which are in place for a reason. It's been this way since FP+ but to Dave's point what IMO he's saying is when you take a time slot from an attraction you have no intention of riding it prevents someone else from getting it. That is why you'll see at times people expressing shock that X attraction either is out or has return times later on in the day as there are some people strictly using that attraction to move along in their ability to book more.
Yes that works just fine at Tea cups. As @gottalovepluto commented just mention to the CM at the LL tap point that you are a tap and go guest if you are not sure about the LL queue. Normally they know if the 2nd Tap point is active during the time of your visit. We have had helpful CMs use their tablet to clear us from the attraction if they could not confirm the status of the additional tap point in the queue.
OK your date based tickets are going to be your blocking factor unless you have date based tickets that are valid for 10+ days. However please give it a try at your 7 day window before your first stay just to confirm if it blocks you as expected or it lets you book your LLMP that would normally only be valid when your 7 day windows opens for your second stay.
Ooh amazing , thank you!
Awesome, thanks!
I don’t want to actively take spots from others, and would probably ride some of the rides I would choose as burners, however our group is just adults so shows like frozen aren’t really of interest to us. I will definitely be mindful though to try to minimize my effect!
Gotcha that makes sense! I’m guessing it won’t let me book that early , but can’t hurt to try! I’ll report back when I try!
I understand the concept of 'burner' attractions early in the morning, but I don't understand the 'tap in and leave' approach. I know you can then book another attraction - but if you're there tapped in at the 'burner' attraction, you might as well go for a ride while booking ride #4 for later in the day! It doesn't impact your LLMP planning whether you ride it or not! But that's just us...... Maybe it really depends on which 9AM attraction you can book in the park to 'burn'.
With FSA you can tap in at 9:05, the show doesn't start until 9:30 and lasts 30 minutes so you wouldn't be out until 10am, missing some of the best touring time in the park while other lines are shorter.
My thought was a quick ride on the teacups isn’t the end of the world ( unless I’m nauseous
) but if I booked something long like a show as a burner that is time we could be queuing for a ride we want to go on!
I guess since there are a fixed number of LLMPs assigned per attraction per day, booking one and not using it takes away a potential slot from someone else who has purchased LLMP because they want to avoid most standby lines. But in some cases, since there are still LLMPs available until the end of the day, it really doesn't take anything away.
