More magic than we bargained for - At WDW on July 24th

Today is 7 days prior to 7/24. I'm here at Pop. It's 6 am. Nothing changed in the app overnight. I'll be pleasantly surprised if something pops up at 7 am. I'll be booking my G+ this morning then will see.

Thanks for keeping us updated!

Nothing until the 24th is the official word.

Confirming it’s Genie+ today.

Confirming it’s Genie+ today.

There's no doubt it will be G+ through the 23rd. The only question had been if we could book LLMP 7 days out for the 24th and beyond. It has been confirmed that we can't.

Enjoy your day! We're off to HS soon.

Kind of disappointing but at least now we know. Enjoy your day!

I'm off to refresh my memory on how Genie+ works (haven't been to WDW in a couple of years) and learn about the new system as well.

G+ has been working so well for us this trip. G+, combined with ILL and rope drop, has us walking onto every single attraction we've wanted to do in 3 parks so far. I'm going to be sad to say goodbye to it.

Glad it's been working well for you. We arrive on Sunday and hope we are as lucky!

I agree-Genie+ always works(ed) so well for us! Hoping the same when we get there on 27th using LLMP.

Okay, folks. Are you ready?

I switched tomorrow's park day to AK because of this and don't plan to buy LLMP for tomorrow, but do want to get LLSP for FOP.

Then I'll purchase for our 3 park days after that.

I don't expect to see anything in the app until 7 am, but I'll check at midnight if I'm not asleep. Then I'll check whenever I wake up, which wiil probably be sometime around 4 am.

We arrive tomorrow. How was it today? According to Thrill Data many attractions sold out hours earlier than G+. I opted to not purchase LLMP for tomorrow. We’re getting in later and didn’t look we would be able to get additional tier 1s in Epcot.

There are hundreds of posts from today in the ‘Plan Ahead with Lightning Lane’ thread.

We were at AK today so I only bought LLSP for FOP. I did it right at 7 and had a wide selection of times.

I then grabbed LLMP for Saturday's last MK day. Got 9, 10, and 11 am. Was hoping to modify and get overlapping times but the times moved to afternoon quickly.

Bought LLSP for ROR for our last HS day. Got 9:30 am.

I was done purchasing everything by 7:03 am.

I was impressed that the system didn't crash.

I don't like the new system, but it functioned. We were also trying to rope drop AK which had early entry at 7:30 this morning so navigating it while trying to get to a park was no fun.

I'll miss G+. But overall at least it wasn't a complete disaster.
