Magic Kingdom Lightning Lane, Mostly Slow Kiddie Rides?

[IMMkXLVI]

I've been looking to book the Lightning Lane/Premier Pass for our upcoming Disney trip and for the day we have reserved at MK, I can't help but notice 99% of the rides are designated any height, any age and slow. Tron & the Seven Dwarfs are "unavailable". Our kids are at that age when The Magic Carpets of Aladdin doesn't cut it. I was hoping for a way to slice some of the wait time from Tron but no such luck. How else can we book Tron or Space Mountain? Isn't there a day-off wait list? I need to look into that.

My understanding is that all LL rides are included in the LLPP. What are you looking at that says Tron and SDMT is unavailable?

Tron and 7DMT are both single pass LL, not included in LLMP. You have to pay for each separately

OP it sounds like you are mixing up some terms.

Multi Pass is the service where you pay one fee and get access to Lightning Lane for all but the very most popular attractions.

Single Pass is the service where you pay a la carte to access Lightning Lane individual rides, the most popular ones in each park.

Premier Pass is the super high cost service that includes every attraction in Multi and Single Pass, but does not require you to book time slots for attractions at all. You just show up whenever you want and tap.

At MK, Tron and Mine Train are Single Passes. In order to use their Lightning Lanes, you have to buy either individual Single Passes for each, or shell out for the much more expensive Premier Pass. They are not included in Multi Pass.

"Day-off wait list?" I suspect you are thinking of the virtual queue. Tron had a virtual queue when it first opened, but no longer has one. Space Mountain never had a virtual queue. There are currently no virtual queues at Disney World.

Tron and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train are not part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass (LLMP); they are part of Lightning Lane Single Pass (LLSP). Depending on when you are going and when you are eligible to buy it, you may be able to buy LLSPs for both rides. As the prior poster mentioned, Lightning Lane Premiere Pass also includes those LLSP rides. So, you can "slice some of the wait time" by just giving Disney more of your money.

I could be mistaken but I could have sworn people have said that they might leave some openings for LLSP on day-of. Never done that myself though so someone else would have to confirm/deny.

The app, it has been saying unavailable for days.

Tron and 7DMT are both single pass LL, not included in LLMP. You have to pay for each separately

I am aware and the money is well spent but the app which is, as far as I know, the only place to buy the Lightning Lane passes has been showing Tron as unavailable when I log in.

Yes, that was it, the virtual queue. I didn't know Tron doesn't offer it. Even more disappointing since I can't get the Lightning Lane single pass as it keeps saying "unavailable" in the app.

With the Premier Pass you do not schedule the LL. You can just tap in to the rides anytime during the day you have purchased the PP

Yes day of is often sold out for LLSP at Tron, 7DMT, and GotG. Use the Calendar view and look out 7 days or even 3 days if you are planning to stay off-site.

LLSP for Tron is showing available on Monday, March 30th right now.


ETA: add LLSP for Tron...

Is it that the LLP has to be purchased first and not with Tron?

No you are able to purchase your LLMP and/or LLSP at the same time in one transaction. What you just saw was that from the time I posted Tron had LLSP for Monday, it sold out. You also might want to see a web based view of Tron LLSP available dates and return times via the Thrill Data site vs trying to find a day on MDE that has availability. Tron LLSP shows availability on Tuesday, and Wednesday but again is sold out on Thurday (aka showing as Unavailable)

This just looks like the LLSP for those two rides is already sold out for that day unfortunately...

That is what I thought but then someone else here said it showed available to them for Monday the 31st which just so happens to be the day I was trying but have been getting the unavailable for days.

Yes it is often sold out days in advance, and yes MDE is the only way to purchase LLMP and/or LLSP or even the high priced LLPP.

Did you mean Sunday the 30th or Monday the 31st?

 

[Dave006]

Using the link to Thrill Data that I posted above Tron is sold out thru Monday and then again on Wednesday. The Grey X indicates it is sold out, Orange is most of the day is sold out, Red is it is not available until the evening hours on 4/1 (Wednesday).


Dave

 

[Dave006]

Oops, yes I mistyped my post. Yes it is currently showing as available on Monday, 3/31 beginning at 1:20 PM as the earliest return time.

Dave

 

[IMMkXLVI]

I'm going to call Disney. My app shows unavailable every day I check.

 

[Dave006]

Are you using an iPhone or Android smartphone for MDE? Never mind I just looked back at your screenshot and I can see that you are using an iPhone. Have you tried closing MDE and reopening it?

ETA: add to post.
