Lightning Lane Strategy - Best order of purchase

[Elliemay2]

We are only doing one park at day this time and want LLMP and a couple of SP's.
When I purchase them, should I...

purchase SP for all parks first and then move on to the MP's?
purchase SP for one park and then the MP's for the same park before moving on to the next day?
take what the app gives me and modify later?
what park and passes do I try for first based on demand?

This is what I want:

Day 1 (MK) - Tiana, HM, POC
Day 2 (AK)- NONE EE , RD only
Day 3 (NA)- NONE (Free Day)
Day 4 (EP)- TT, Soarin, Turtle Talk & SP: Guardians
Day 5 (HS)- SD, TOT, TS & SP: Rise

Thanks!

I book all my MP first then my SP.

I do this order of booking no matter what day my park is. The only thing is right now Frozen might be very hard to get (I have not tried since the reopening) so it's a toss up between Epcot and HS depending on if you like Slinky or Frozen more.

HS
EP
MK
AK

I agree with this strategy. Either EP or HS first (it’s really a toss up, we tend to go to Ali my at early entry which eases up HS a bit), then MK, then AK. I might actually do my single passes before AK though, but after the MP.

I’d do the LLMP for HS or Epcot first depending on whether you prefer SDD or FEA and then do your LLSP, then you MK MPLL. I’d try and adjust your times before you check out since it seems a bit harder (not impossible) to modify them after you purchase and you should have time to do that since you know your attractions. If you can’t get a good time, then I’d try and modify later.

It really depends on why you plan to visit WDW. During busy periods the LLSP will sell out very early as in up to 8 days in advance. A good example is next week in the peak of Spring Break.

Day 1 (MK) - Tiana, HM, POC
Day 2 (AK)- NONE EE , RD only
Day 3 (NA)- NONE (Free Day)
Day 4 (EP)- TT, Soarin, Turtle Talk & SP: Guardians
Day 5 (HS)- SD, TOT, TS & SP: Rise

Examples:

For Epcot Guardians is sold out through 3/17 with limited availability on 3/18 or 3/19.
For HS SD is sold out through 3/20, and Rise is mostly already sold out through 3/20 with a few LLSP on 3/18 / 3/20.

I would always suggest you book your LLSP first since they are very fast to book. Next up would be to book MK, HS, and then EP in that order.
