LLMP Booking order

[pixiedust33]

Apologies for such a niche question but hoping someone with experience booking LLMP might have some thoughts. We’re visiting end of March/early April and staying onsite so we can book 7 days in advance. We’re butting into spring break season so I’m expecting it to be busy Because we have a toddler so may not stay late (and because it’s generally good strategy!) I’m hoping to get early lightning lanes in both parks. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe I can book at 7 days from our check in date. Assuming I’m right, because we’re mostly doing a resort stay, this gives us something of an advantage because we’ll be booking MK at 9 days and HS at 11 days. I want Tiana’s and Slinky Dog as my tier 1s, respectively.

So my question is: do I start with trying to book Slinky Dog for HS at 11 days out (and Toy Story mania and alien swirling saucers) or Tiana’s at MK at 9 days out (and Pirates and Aladdin’s). Which is going faster these days?

There are 2 basic schools of thought. Buy days later in your trip first to maximize attraction return time, and buy your earlier days first since there are fewer choices.

I tend to split the difference and book MK and HS days first when ever you plan to visit those parks and go from there.

At HS SDD is the most competitive LLMP to get followed by TSM. ASW is not that hard to book at the 7 day mark. AT MK Tiana's is the hot ticket so book it first then Pirates, and Aladdin (it is often only 10 minute standby).

Thanks! I am currently leaning towards booking MK first, because it seems like Tiana's is selling out earlier than SDD is. I know Aladdin and ASW are not hard gets and Aladdin doesn't usually have long lines but my idea for picking those is that I'm hoping I can get very early return times at those rides and then try to pick up a second tier 1 shortly after park opening. I do have a question though because I've never booked using this system - I thought you had to pick all three at once and they all popped up on the same screen so it would be relatively easy to grab all three LLs for each park at once. Is that not the case? Do you usually book your tier 1 only and then go back later and add the easier to get LLs like Aladdin? I figured that would only save me a second or two, but I don't actually know what the interface will look like.

You are only required to pick 1 attraction and you can continue to complete the purchase. However yes it is easier to pick all 3 from the list of LLMP selections from the park you select. That's what we do.

Once you select you first 3 attractions. They are shown in a list of 3 with the return time from MDE. You then have 5 minutes to adjust your return times and complete your purchase.

Your plan to use attractions like Aladdin and ASW as an early LLMP return time to unlock your tiers and multi park LLMP selections.
