New MultiPass LL (aka Paid FastPass+)

[Minnie84]

Also going in early September. We just don’t plan on purchasing this. We were there last September for the first 2 weeks and didn’t use genie+ or ILL at all and had minimal waits the whole time. I see it as more money to put towards treats.

I’ve got quite a bit of experience with vpns, for example getting ESPN plus from within canada, and if you’re forced to use the app to make selections your phone will tell the app where you’re located and even if you try and turn it off the app won’t run unless you turn location on. This is how it works for ESPN plus. It does work with a vpn on a chrome web browser with location turned off in the settings on a computer. Once we get a bit closer I’m happy to play around with it and share my findings.

I suspect this is why they are making the selections through the app only.

I feel like we’ll figure out a way to make this work, fingers crossed. I’ve been using ESPN plus for years and they’ve blocked the way I accessed it a couple of times now but a new way has always come up to get it to work again.

I also think at some point there will be a third party service that will make selections for you if you’re international for a fee. If anyone here is familiar with “standby skipper” I could see that being a way to have someone else make the picks for you.

The only way to do that though would be to give someone your log in credentials for MDE. I for one wouldn't be willing to do that considering it's also the login for disney+, my disney gift cards and my reservations. That's a risk I wouldn't take.

Breaking news: Disney just confirmed that Multipass LL WILL be available for advanced selection from Canada! Yippee!!

Earlier this week, we reported that international guests would not be able to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Single Pass before arriving in the United States. However, today Disney confirmed that guests in Canada will be able to purchase advance Lightning Lane passes in the same manner as guests in the United States.

This means that Canadian guests who are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel can reserve Lightning Lane passes up to seven days before their stay begins. They can then book advance Lightning Lane passes for their entire trip up to 14 days. Canadian guests who are not staying at an eligible Walt Disney World Resort hotel will be able to make their reservations up to three days before their trip.

Not really a surprise. But I'm glad they confirmed it.

That's great news--next question haha...
If you're staying at a Disney Springs resort that isn't Disney owned but is eligible for early entry with Disney property resorts...7 days or 3 for LL booking?

Disney still hasn’t officially confirmed that Canadians will be able to pre-book before arriving to the US, correct? My TA reached out yesterday and they’re still saying you’ll have to be in the US. Our trip is in early August so looking forward to getting reports from others.

 

[jd370]

Our travel agent got confirmation from Disney that it's now fixed for canadians aka to do it 7 days in advance from Canada.

Looks like the problematic technicality does not apply to Canada. But it will probably remain a problem for the rest of the world...

I think your TA doesn't have the latest info.

Thanks for sharing the info. I can’t believe what a shortsighted decision this was excluding international visitors. Yet charging full price! .

 

[Norton figment]

Have we seen prices for this yet? We’re going end of August and on the fence if we need it price dependent. It is nice to know that you would get the rides that you want at a time you potentially want.

Not yet. There's a lot of speculation on the "main thread" over in Theme Park Strategies as to pricing, with some convinced the price will be hugely marked up over Genie+. Not saying that won't happen, but as this new system is, to me, not as good as Genie+ I think that would be unfortunate.

fingers crossed am meeting DD & 3 GDs there for their first trip - can’t believe how complicated things are now to plan

 

[Frank4202]

I find it funny that Disney did not mention anything about the cost of this service. Im expecting some sort of moderate price increase compared to the current Genie+.

 

[FrancisK7]

Indeed very little details have come out considering it's rolling out in 9 days!

 

[bigmac5]

Is any one here hoping to book on July 24? Let us know how it goes
