Plan Ahead with Lightning Lane Entry at Walt Disney World Starting July 24

[princesswahooey]

Has anyone had any issues with having multiple charges on their credit cards and having their credit card blocked during transactions? I mean honestly, I can definitely see this happening as a credit card companies will get suspicious seeing so many transactions happening within a matter of minutes.

Yes, on the 24th, we actually had 4 of us on different accounts booking for our large party for 4 park days. Good thing we did. My Discover Card got flagged as fraud and didn't go through. My son had a Disney Visa on his and it went through fine. He ended up booking the things I was supposed to book. My husband was trying with a Marriott Visa on his account and it errored the first time, but he was eventually able to book after closing out the app and trying again. My daughter had a Freedom Visa and hers went through. Very frustrating Disney gift cards would probably be the safest option to make sure your credit card doesn't balk for fraud. Also, make sure everyone on your group is properly linked. My niece had two accounts for some reason: one connected to the park ticket and one to the hotel ressie. (They should have been merged, but weren't). She was showing as not eligible to book because her hotel wasn't attached to the account I was linked to. We just left her off the LLMP and had to call IT afterward to get her accounts merged and book her LLMPs which were not with the rest of our group, but most were overlapping. Total pain in the butt.

Thank God it's only me and my adults son so we shouldn't have any issues. But,t I do have a discover card so I'll make sure not to use that.

Can you purchase MLL or LL for MNSSHP?

Yes, for sure don't They're aggressive on their fraud algorithm.

No, special events do not utilize the skip-the-line systems.

Just an FYI - not sure if someone has mentioned it, but you usually can pretty much walk on Rise around park closing. The wait time will say 45 minutes, but we've experienced it, and I've seen others report, that it was basically a walk on at about 10-15 minutes before park close

Thank you for your report. It's nice to hear some success stories.

May I ask when you arrived at HS to rope drop RotR? My son wants to go on it again, but I really don't want to pay $22/person to not wait in a huge line.

You can use the system during the in between time when your party ticket allows you in to the park early, but the park has not officially closed for the party. So we got an Individual Lightening Lane for Seven Dwarves at 5:00 pm on the day of our MNSSHP ticket because the ticket allowed us to come in at 4pm, but the park didn't close for the party until like 6pm.

ETA: this apparently is no longer the case. Darn is right.

I think some folks were looking at the 4-6 time period, when they can enter before the park closes to non party guests. But, they can’t purchase LLMP and LLSP without having a normal park ticket.

I’ve heard they stopped allowing this - we did the same last year (bought ILL for Seven Dwarves and Tron before MNSSHP), but not expecting to be able to do that for MVMCP this year.

Waiting also to find out if those who have only MNSSHP or MVMCP will have access to LLMP and LLSP, to use during the 4:00 - 6:00 window. If I remember, if you only had a MNSSHP or MVMCP ticket, you could also use Genie+ during the 4-6 window, correct? I guess with the first party August 9, we should know by tomorrow for resort guests?

I skimmed the thread but couldn’t find many experiences with editing before the visit.
We booked our three this morning for MK-no Tiana available. We booked BTMRR instead of Tiana—but we’re wondering if anyone has had Tiana open later after your initial booking. Should we be checking randomly for the next week for it to open up or has no one had that luck? Thanks!

It's been reported in the MNSSHP thread -- no, you can't purchase LLMP LLSP with just a party ticket

Would today be the day or tomorrow, if the first party is August 9?

Not sure what your dates are to look it up, but you can see the availability to each current and past day so far to get an idea of when additional availability might drop: https://www.thrill-data.com/lightning-lane/wdw/tianasbayouadventure

This is all second hand stuff...I'm not the person who posted -- I think the person who posted was able to book today for their group - so I guess they are arriving on Aug 8th, but one person in their group only had MNSSHP ticket for Aug 9th. They could not book anything for that person.

But I guess this is a bit of a weird situation, so maybe there is still hope.

Yes that was me. Two of us have AP with MK reservations the day of the Aug 8 party but we added a third person to our stay and he only has a party ticket valid Aug 9. I could have booked for the AP for that day but did not. I checked to see if I could book for him for any time the day of the party and he was not listed as eligible for multi pass or single ride booking for that day at all.

Thanks-that’s a helpful graph.
We’re just wondering if we should try and randomly refresh for the next week or if new availability hasn’t shown to pop up.

How many days in advance did you get to book - 7 or 3? Was MK the first park you tried to book, and was it one of the earlier or later parks you plan to visit during your trip? Thanks!

Did you do that this year? No AP or park ticket aside from the party ticket?
