** Official August 2024 Thread **

We will see. I am trying not to stress about the reports... seems like for every good report about availability there are two negative.

I like how you said this - and you’re right. I will see something positive and then multiple negative. I’ve still got a couple of weeks before we need to go through the process so I expect things to level out a bit.

I also try hard to remember that - with anything - unhappy people are going to complain the most. There may be many more happy guests who had a great experience and just aren't talking. <3

I booked my LLs this morning for my trip 8/2-11. I got everything I wanted at very early times for 7 days of our trip. I modified and overlapped them a bit before buying. I had seen a post that it was easier to do before rather than after completing the purchase.

I was not going to buy it for AK or Epcot, but with hopping included and we do hope daily after a mid day break I found value in that.

Found the app easy to use. One week!!

So nice to hear a positive and successful report. Thank you for taking the time to share (we arrive August 18th, so I am watching reports closely). Do you mind sharing some of the tier one rides you were able to secure? I am hoping on morning times.

So happy to hear this. Our booking day will be next Friday and we will be on our way to the beach. Hopefully we will be somewhere with reliable cell service at 7am . Were you able to get Tiana on your MK day???

Please report back! We are considering that for next summer. We’d have to stay off site and go fewer days to make the budget work. I’m waiting to see how our August trip goes with LLMP.

I definitely will!! We are going to end up missing the parade in magic kingdom unless we go on Tuesday or Friday but we are very excited about it. It is a huge (and honestly irresponsible) splurge for us!!

I am green with envy! I am sure it's going to be wonderful!

I’m 190% sure we will be exhausted at the end. Picked Weds and will finish up around 7 PM so we can still go to the pre fireworks party we booked. BUSY Wednesday!!

Love hearing this, and really glad you had a positive experience!

So excited for everyone whose trips are almost here - cant wait to hear updates!

I have a question about park hopping. Is there a different price for a multipass that allows you to make LLs in more than one park?

Our first day (day 2, because I didn’t book arrival day) I got Remy at 9:50, I actually had it closer to 9, but we aren’t planning to rope drop so I bumped it back a bit. Day 4 is HS. All rides were available. We selected RnR as our tier 1, (Slinky is meh for us). Day 5 is an MK day, Tiana was available didn’t book for us til Day 7. Also everything I populated filled in the opening hours. 9-10-11. I did modify to overlap a bit. 9:20/10:10/11. I did get one 15 min overlap not sure if it goes more than that.

Everything was as available on the days I looked. I did not book any ILLs so I can’t speak to those.

Our first MK is day 5 of our trip, it was available. I believe I saw it would have been available only 3rd day.

You pay for the park you are in first. So my AK days we paid $16/17. Then when I tap into my first LL at AK I can book my 4th at the park I want to hop to.

I’m hoping that I can tap into the safari at 8:10 and book Frozen at Epcot. That’s my goal since Epcot won’t be open yet I think that’s my chance to snag that one.

Thanks for the info. Do you have to make your first three LLs at the park you paid for, or can you make the first two at that park and the third one at a different park?

I think you have to book all 3 in the same park when you do the pre-booking. But, once you scan in at your first multipass, you can modify your other passes to be at the park you hop to.

If anyone follows Mammoth Club, Molly posted a video today that was really helpful. It is an hour and a half, with the first part her walking through the system and then it flips to her using it in the park. I thought it was helpful.

You have to make all three pre-reservations at the same park. You have to scan into the first LLMP (or maybe just the park, not clear on that detail) before you can make any changes to tiers or other parks.

Thanks for the information. I won't be able try this this out during our August trip because one of us will have the $99 per day ticket. But we will be back in December and can park hop then.

Y’all know what I still haven’t done?! Made my bag list that I said I was gonna do 3 weeks ago. And now I’m down to 25 days!!!!

It looks like a lot of the reports back from LLMP are way better than they were days 1 and 2. Phew!

Does anyone know if you can attend the campfire at a different resort? We would love to go to the Chip and Dale campfire singalong at fort wilderness but wasn’t sure if we can?

I have 22 days and I haven't done squat other than make lists in my mind and buy a second checked bag. LOL

To answer your question: I would think you could as long as you take Disney Transportation to FW or have a dining ressie there. Someone else might know better than me, though!

 

[Pills]

We're leaving Sunday and have to do our "where in the house are the Fuel Rod" hunts. We have three. I know where one is.

You can go to any campfire that you want. They never ask you where you are staying. We've been to many campfires at resorts that we weren't staying at, including Boardwalk, Contemporary, and Beach Club. We just happened to be walking past those campfires when we were walking around.

YAS! I also googled bc why didn’t I think of that - and you can def go. The plan Disney board recommended Minnie van as best transpo! Did our Friday plans just change again?! Yes, yes they did.
