LLMP/LLSP booking strategy?

[WWhitehead]

I tried searching and couldn't find if this was discussed elsewhere. My daughter and I are eligible to book our LLMP for our trip May 5-9 tomorrow morning. I had a few questions. We are linked and all set up in MDE.

1. Can I book one day LLMP and my daughter book another day LLLP? We are going to attempt to book Tianas on 5/6 and Slinky on 5/8?

2. How hard is it to get LLMP selections at AK? I was thinking we should try to book our HS day and MK day first and then whoever is finished with that one do AK next.

3. Do you think it is better to buy the LLMP for your trip and then go back and buy LLSP? I saw you could do it in the same transaction, but aside from our main MK day, we are buying LLSP at other parks and worry that the extra time finding those will cause us to lose our 3 LLMP selection times.

4. If Tianas is not available on 5/6, we have an alternate MK day on 5/9. Should we try for Peter Pan's flight or a different Tier 1 ride in MK?

Thank you! We are trying to work on the best strategy to get all the rides we can tomorrow.

Others can chime in on if it's a good idea to have 2 people try for booking. I would be afraid of it causing some sort of error. Im sure someone more knowledgable than me will help.

I booked for a trip over Easter week and got everything I wanted, it was really easy even while half asleep. I used the strategy of booking AK last. I booked HS, then Epcot, then MK, then AK. I also purchased my LLSP at this time. I booked every LLSP except Rise. I saw LLSP sell out before the Tier 1 rides when checking back later that day and the following day.

You can definitely divide up booking like that - each of you take specific dates. Many people here have done so, including DD and I. You must have separate MDE accounts, though; this doesn't work if you're trying to both log into the same MDE account!

Sorry I can't help with the other strategies!

I booked my LLs this morning for 5/4-14 and had no problem, everything was available. Historically I’ve found that Slinky is one of the first to sell out so you might focus on that one first.

Booked my LLMP and LLSP for 5/4-5/9 this morning right at 7 ET. Agree with the prior poster in booking Slinky first even though we planned to visit that park later in week. Think we got a 1:30 pm return time. I would recommend buying a parks multi pass and single pass in the same transaction, much more efficient and I didn't realize I could do this at first so set me back a bit by purchasing them separately for two park days. You may get earlier times if you split the days between two people booking at the same time. None of my purchases for Single or Multi had returns later than 1:30pm (I tried for earlier times). Hoping the crowds are reasonable, they are not supposed to be super high. We haven't bought LLMP for AK in the past, just LLSP for avatar. Didn't feel we needed it for this park. Am actually holding off on buying any for the park as we have EEH for Monday. FYI if you are buying both LLMP and LLSP in the same transaction, I believe they will hold the times for 4 minutes before timing out, just keep an eye on the timer. I did time out once not realizing the timer was there.

Thanks for the advice!! I'm feeling more optimistic seeing that you guys booked things today and had good success.
