LL expiration?

[JenniferFolsomCa]

I am planning to start my day at Epcot and try to get Remy as a LL, but since I will be hopping over to MK by lunch and want to try to get Winnie the Pooh around 11-12pm as my #2 and maybe Pirates as #3. If I am late, I heard that once the pass "expires" I can book another ride and then I can possibly still ride Winnie the Pooh if it's in the grace period. Any guess how long the grace period is? Any guess if the new LL opens up at 11am or noon? If for any reason I don't make it over to Pooh and I let it expire can I book it again later in the day or does it count because I let it expire? (not talking about cancelling). I am just asking so I understand.

If you are running late just modify your Pooh LLMP return time to a later time period, and free up a LLMP for someone else to enjoy Pooh.

The official return time window is 1 hr, with a 15 minute grace period after it expires. The unofficial stats are you may enter 5 min before your return widow opens, 18 minutes after your 1 hr expires. Actual reports have confirmed that you can use your Pooh up to 199 minutes late even if it drops off your MDE LL list.

Dave - when would you expect an expired Lightning Lane to drop off of MDE? We had one for Smugglers Run a couple of weeks ago that we never used because my daughter and son in law threw a gender reveal event at the entrance to the Hollywood Tower Hotel at the same time.

The Smugglers Run pass didn’t drop off of our account until sometime between midnight and 6 am.

Is this expected behavior?

Your report earlier in the month was the first report that I have seen for Smugglers Run. It really appears to be an issue in MDE that was only cleared in the overnight refresh. The MDE system is not always consistent in how it wants to operate so real world experiences vary.

As with all these edge cases it all comes down to if the Mickey Head turns green, if not it is up to the individual CM at the tap point to make the override happen or deny you.
