While it is certainty possible that LLMP will sellout on a specific day or multiple days. It is less likely than what we saw for Thanksgiving Week, and Christmas thru a few days after New years day. Since March tends to multiple windows of groups visiting for Spring Break during the entire month of March. I do expect to see sellouts during Easter week.
I think demand may be higher than you think for offsite. Here's why....If I compare the cost of staying at a Disney property, (which doesn't given me many perks these days, but it does mean that I may have a cooler instead of a mini-fridge and can expect to be disturbed during my afternoon nap) and an offsite hotel with with uber as my transportation....I suspect I'll find that I can save many hundreds by staying offsite. I can even take advantage of cheaper dining options offsite, too. I can then use those hundreds of dollars to buy premiere passes. To me, the value of premiere pass would outweigh the value of staying on property. It's the same logic as when people say they are skipping table service to pay for a LLSP. They are shifting the spending.
Agreed - but they are probably getting LLPP for 1 day, maybe 2. People aren't saving the $500 per day they'd need to buy for their whole family for a whole trip.
Wow! I checked Touring Plans, and they have MK at a level 5/10 today, so it's not predicted to be that busy. We often like to hit MK on Fridays, so I had to check. I haven't looked at other sites' predictions. I won't be at MK on a Friday until March, but I considered buying LLPP that day as it's Spring Break, and all bets are out the window. I will keep it in the budget.
Well it only sold out this morning so not a lot of pre-planning. This is also a very popular weekend with the NFL Pro Bowl activities, UDA National Dance Team Championship that starts today, and the Epcot International Festival of the Arts.
I can imagine it being especially popular if you arrive a bit later in the day or have to leave the parks to do something else for the evening (or even just want to make it to Epcot for the festival)— since it allows you to do all LL rides in a half day.
Yikes. I suppose if I were renting a condo in the area, thus saving money by not staying onsite and likely arriving late, it might seem more feasible.
At this point in the year it is not about how busy MK is but guests that have disposal income or only time for a quick visit. The price of $329 vs $399 for the highest price this month is not a big difference if the guests are balancing time vs money.
