Day 2 of using LLPP, MK, Wednesday November 13.
Arrived 4pm, after a relaxing day at BCV. Left at 10:30pm.
MK was pretty slammed. Probably the busiest day we’ve been there in years, and I warned DH that might be the case because of party season, but he loves MK at night and that was our only option.
Rode everything we wanted, as we got to it. A few times, we had a lengthy wait in the LL line, entirely due to timing with a lot of users arriving at once. A couple of times, very few people got in the line after us while we were waiting, so we could tell we just had bad timing. Those times, we waited up to about a third of the posted wait time, ie 20 min for a ride with an hour standby wait. It happens sometimes, even with LLMP.
Had the merge CM at PotC purposely fill both load sides twice from the standby before letting any LL people through, and she was kind of smirking about it so those of us in line really got the impression she was doing it intentionally.
If we’d only had LLMP, we would have done our three and left, it was way too crowded to be enjoyable for us. Then again, we’re APs that go for a few days approx every six weeks, so YMMV. None of the issues we had in the LL lines were due to the PP, any MP users around us had the same issues.
Hey, Disney, if you’re reading this, adding parade and fireworks viewing into the PP offerings would be great. And, not to give you any ideas, but LL for the bathrooms would be useful on busy days. ;-) LOL
Not sure we will get LLPP every trip, but we might. It’s so nice not to have to be on your phone stressing about making the next selection and refreshing to get better times. LLPP works well for us since budget isn’t an issue and we hate rope drop. We ended up staying at the parks longer than we normally would have, since DH wanted to ride everything “to get our money’s worth” rather than just doing our favourites, so I guess that’s a win too.
