We used aRes in 2013 without any problems, so I bought them again for our July trip. I wish I had known about not needing to go to the ticket booth with LMT though. We get in during the middle of the day, so we won't have much of an issue or time pressure getting the tickets and then scanning them into the app for Maxpass. However, if you couldn't make it to the ticket booths until the next day at park opening, then LMT tickets would be a big time saver. They may also be cheaper than aRes. For the minor savings we got from aRes, just getting the tickets from Disney would have been less hassle, because of the ticket booth and being able to prepurchase Maxpass for all days.
