LLMP for Sat Dec 20th

[zmdisneyworld]

If there is a better place to ask this, please let me know.

We are arriving early on Dec 19 (and doing MVMCP) and have 2 park hoppers that we intend to use Dec 20 and 21. Our only solid plans for Saturday/Sunday right now are we have a 4:30pm Le Cellier CP Processional reservation (and the 8:15pm CP show). Our plan as of now is to go to HS early (but probably not rope drop since we will be at MK until midnight).

My question is about LLMP and planning for the 20th. I do not think we will use it on the 21st (Sunday) because we are just planning to do the Epcot cookie stroll and possibly hit MK in the afternoon to just take in the atmosphere again before we leave Monday morning (early).

For LLMP on Saturday -- my plan is to buy it as soon as it's available for us (Dec 12th?) and try to schedule whatever I can at HS. As with most people, our priorities for that park are SDD and Tower of Terror and MMRR, so we will get whichever is available for Tier 1/2. For tier 3 we will try to grab something that is very early in the morning so we can tap in and do it right away.... so then looking at the thrill-data site it looks like Remy and Frozen aren't sold out until 10-11 lately. If we get to HS early and are lucky enough to have an early check-in time, we will be able to attempt to book Remy or Frozen at that time since we have hoppers? Is this correct? (And obviously hope that the time doesn't interfere with our 4:30pm dining or 8pm CP)

(Thanks in advance, last time I used this it was still "Genie+" in early 2024).

That is correct. Book whatever Tier One you can get (MMRR will likely be the one you can get earlyish in the day) and then TOT as one of your Tier Twos. Star Tours & Alien Swirling Saucers will likely have early slots available, but I'm guessing that Toy Story Mania will not.

Once you tap in to your first LL, you'll be able to search for additional LLs at all parks.

Excellent. Thanks. We still aren't sure if we will do LLMP or not, but if we do it will likely just be for that one day. I'll probably also have my wife load up MDE on her phone and do a LLSP for GoG. Scheduling that one might be trickier since it will be LLSP and we want/need it to be closer to 2/3pm.

You should be able to book that LLSP on the 12th the same as any other LL and you should be able to pick the time frame you want within reason.

You will have two hours past the stated end time on your LLMP's to use them. For instance, if you end up with Frozen/Remy at 4:30 pm, you will have until 7:30 pm to use it. The time extension makes it more possible to fit on-the-go LLMP reservations into guest's existing ADR plans. Also, don't just stop at Frozen/Remy - when you tap into ride 2 at DHS, I would go back in the app and schedule something else for EP!

Thanks for the tip. Obviously we wouldn't stop there! haha

I'm sure like most people here, I was getting pretty good at 'stacking' LLs back when it was Genie+ (and also did this in April at Disneyland pretty well). Just a little apprehensive about LLMP with the new changes in addition to it being a pretty busy weekend when we are there.

Our main goals are to be able to ride SDD, ToT, MMRR, maybe Rise then get to EPCOT and get Remy, Frozen, GoG, and Test track along with our ADR and the processional on Saturday. Does that sound feasible? Obviously we won't have a LLMP/LLSP for everything I wouldn't think. Some of those may be gone but if we can get half of them it may work out for us. We don't mind waiting in a standby for something like MMRR or even Frozen/Remy. Then it will leave our Sunday to just hop around and do whatever we want, wherever we want before we leave Monday morning.

Are you buying LLSP for Guardians? I would consider it. If so, I would grab whatever LLMP you can after tapping in at DHS (Remy or Frozen), obviously try to second and third LLMP at EP when you can, but, if you only snag Frozen or Remy, I would probably do the following:

Buy Guardians LLSP
Use your LLMP for Frozen or Remy
Do single rider for TT
Line up for Frozen or Remy (whichever one you couldn't get LLMP for) as soon as your Candlelight show is over (would need to forego fireworks if you were planning for them)

You could also consider purchasing LLMP for the 21st so you don't have so much up in the air on the 20th in terms of EP rides.

There are single rider lines for Test Track and Remy. There is also one for rise but I will only do that if you have written it before.

We have been to EPCOT 3 times in the past 2/3 years and I have never gotten on TT. It is either down for refurbs or it just didn't fit our schedules. So I have already committed to doing it by myself at the very least with single rider! haha

And yes for GoG I was going to do LLSP. It removes the wait and also gets us most likely onto Remy or Frozen with a LL.

As far as the 21st goes, I think that may be an option. (I assume you mean buy it for the 21st instead of the 20th?) We were only going to buy it for a single day, but maybe it just makes sense to buy twice, cry twice. However, if we buy LLSP for GoG and two days of LLMP, we could probably buy LLPP for a single park one day instead and have a real good time.

There are single rider lines for Test Track and Remy. There is also one for rise but I will only do that if you have written it before.

We have ridden them all before, so it's an option but not sure how my youngest would do on her own. She enjoys the social aspect of riding together with me or my wife.

I like this advice. I recall previous sticky threads with LL priorities and touring advice, but I’m not seeing them. Do you know of any threads with good LLMP guidance?

We are traveling with our 2 now young adult college kids for the first time since 2021 with a significant attraction and ride focus. Four park days, two parties + 2-day hopper. Quick pre-Christmas trip. We are staying at Signia Hilton Bonnet Creek to save $$ on our two rooms. So we get 3 days instead of 7 to book LLMP etc.

We will be at EP all day Sunday 12/21 including the CP package for 6:45pm of this same weekend as OP after MVMCP Fri and JN on Saturday - with a ride focus while we enjoy the festive atmosphere and a couple party offerings at each. Monday we will hop around and hit MK at EE, then AK for a bit and then ???

Our tix window starts 12/19 so I get a bit of a Head-start from the first day 12/21 that we actually need to buy LLs (12/16) but not what we’re used to.

Looking for good advice on LL priorities to book pre trip given less than 7days in advance (those mornings were stressful for me before with MDE being finicky. Now I’m doubly nervous with less availability) and then at the park as we use them during this busy time. I’m feeling out of the loop with the current system. I just learned about the additional two hours of grace past the LL ending time. I’m uncertain how much stacking we will be able to do. Also curious if LLPP is worth it for fam of 4 on 12/21?? No idea cost of it vs LLMP and SP for GOG and ___?

Thank you in advance for any direction, thread suggestions, guidance you can give here.

zmdisneyworld, I suspect you don't know the price difference between LLMP, LLSP and LLPP. I'll use the 12/20/24 prices as examples. On that day, LLMP for Epcot was $24, LLSP for Guardians was $18, and LLPP for Epcot was $229. This year's prices should be the same or higher. Buying 2 LLMPs and 1 LLSP per person is way cheaper than buying an LLPP per person. I encourage you to buy the LLPP if you can afford it, but don't expect it to cost about the same.

I don't understand how buying LLSP for Guardians improves your chances of getting LLs for Remy or Frozen. Buying, or tapping into, an LLSP doesn't affect when you can book your next LLMP reservation.

Sydnerella, I think my answer above answers one of your questions.

For general LLMP advice and tips I highly recommend you watch Ear Scouts on Youtube. He is incredible at explaining it all and best tactics.

However, you (like me) have some specific questions about certain dates so I think asking here is a great way to get that advice as well.

Haha, I realized as soon as I typed it and hit 'post' that it was basically still a fourth of the cost but I left it since I was saying it more as a joke. (Although the idea of doing LLPP is appealing, or would be, if it allowed park hopping!)

As far as buying a GoG improving my chances, it doesn't and what I typed is wrong. I think I was in need of more coffee and was thinking GoG was also in the LLMP tier 1.
