Orsino's Disneyland Lightning Lane Manifesto from a WDW Regular

[Orsino]

So, at what point does your LL lock in where you can no longer modify? We are going to DL for the first time since paper fast passes and I am trying to learn as much about this as I can. We were always able to maximize the fast passes at WDW but we have not been back since before COVID.

My understanding is that you can modify as long as the LL has not expired. We always modified 10-15 minutes before expiration at the latest. I was not brave enough to see what happens when the LL hits the buffer (I.e., the grace period).

I think you may be my spirit animal.

For the record: there are definitely is DL regulars that optimize the heck out of LLMP. I had considered the option of waiting to modify until close to the end of the LL window though to increase the chance of picking up a MEP. Nice!

I still miss the acceleration “bug” around MEP’s that seemed to have been fixed when LLPP was introduced. Best bug ever.

Dude that was the best thing ever. You could walk in, get a multi pass from Indy after a delayed opening, then just run the park for a day lol. Whenever I did it with my family or friends they thought I was a total hacker LOL

It essentially gave you LLPP so I can see why they had to change it. They want $300-$400 for that.

Sorry. I didn’t mean to confuse anyone. To get value from LLMP you don’t need to do what I’m describing. Book your LLMP as would have with MaxPass and you will be fine. This is sort of an obsessive technique for WDW obsessive types. If you are not obsessive, count your blessings and have a great time.

Also, to be fair, I believe anytime passes were a thing with MaxPass too.

Yep! It's definitely for a subset of individuals. I personally love the modifying and mining game, but I am admittedly quite obsessive
