We check into Coronado for 1 night on 1/18 and then move to 3 nights at Pop on 1/19. We want to buy LL for 1/21 at HS. Is this 7 days before Coronado or Pop? And, what is my date to purchase?? TIA ✌️

Seven days before Coronado, i.e. January 11 at 7:00 AM Eastern time.

Since you have a contingent stay on resort property, your date to purchase is next Sunday, Jan. 11th at 7 AM ET, 7 days before your Coronado stay. And you can book for up to 14 days of your on-site visit if you have valid tickets.

May two people book LLs at the same time? Just to make sure we get what we want??
 

So we can't work on the same park, same day? We're only using LL one day during our vacation.
No. Because scheduling the LLs includes the purchase price, which you don't pay until you've made all your selections. And since you're visiting only one park, you're going to make only 3 MP and 1 SP selections. The entire process should take one person maybe 3 or 4 minutes, max.

I guess one person could book LLMP and the other one LLSP for the same day, same park, but otherwise as @Miffy says, only one person can book LLMP for a given day. After booking, anyone in the LL party could modify, but again, only one person at a time.
 
I see this has been answered but wanted to share my example. I am staying:
1 night Coronado 1/10
1 night OWK 1/11
6 nights BWV
7 nights Riviera
1 night OKW again

And I was able to start booking LLs for my entire stay (10 day park hopper dated 1/12) starting yesterday.
 
Is it a new procedure to pay for LLMP AFTER you schedule your choices? I rarely use LL but I recall paying the night before.

It has always been you make you (3) initial LLMP selections before paying. Maybe you are recalling Genie+ which would have been pre July 24, 2024 when LLMP & LLSP launched.

Note you are able to make your park reservations starting 7 days before your resort stay starts, if you are staying on-site, and 3 days before for off-site reservations.

I am thinking of Genie+, too many changes! It recall buying it the night before?

Tomorrow is my day to make LL selections for the Studios. I have to select my date, park and names before I make my selections. Do I select Purchase from the home screen at exactly 7am? Or should I be on the calendar screen with my date and park already selected and select continue at 7am?? The next page is who's included.

I want Slinky Dog, ToT and Midway Mania. We plan to rope drop MMRR. Or, should we rope drop Slinky Dog?

Thanks for any advice. ✌️

For what it’s worth, we’ve always found Mickey & Minnie’s to be very easy to pick up as a 4th, 5th or even 6th multipass. That one has a lot of additional passes released each afternoon.
 
Might ride that twice then. It's one of our favorites!
Just to ensure you’re aware, LLMP only allows an attraction to be selected once each day so additional drops will not affect the number of times you get a LL. You can ride it more than once but that will be by using the standby line.

I believe that Scarlet may want to rope drop M&M then catch it again later in the afternoon with a 5th or 6th multipass.
 
Yes and we think alike! I looked at EPCOT availability for this morning at about 10am and it looks promising.
