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

[123SA]

On the day that I book, before 7am, will I be able to see availability for specific LLMP? Will I be able to see if Remy is available and what times might be be available?

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!

7 days and it’s our only park day

7 days and it’s our only park day

Thank you!

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.

Based on what we've seen/heard, this only applies to people who have tickets for MK for that day (in addition to the MNSSHP ticket), park hopper tickets, or those with APs. I'm sure there's a category I've forgotten there, but basically if you ONLY have a MNSSHP ticket, it won't work.

I thought this might be helpful. I am on the east coast and unintentionally woke up at 4am this morning. I leave for WDW this weekend. I had made my LLMP choices 7 days prior but wasn't happy with some of the times and 2 rides, all in MK. I have been checking every few hours during the day on MDE, trying to move things around with no luck.

So at 4am, I looked at my passes again and went to modify a few. Where there had been no availability or poor times in the past few days, almost every ride was wide open for 9am and other early morning hours. I was able to make all my switches and get everything I wanted which gave me the afternoon and evening free.

The exception was Tiana which was greyed out.

So all you DISers who don't sleep well... good luck.

Was the day you were modifying 3 days out?

It was 5 days out. I started trying to modify as soon as I made my 7 day selections, checking 6 or more times a day.

No not unless your tickets would allow you to book the previous day. Now on the day that you plan to book beginning at 7 AM ET and you start the purchase process for your LLMP, as part of the purchase process you will select your day and park and hten you will see the attractions that have availability and it will suggest an available time for each attraction.

You are able to scroll through the list, make alternate attraction selection choices, and even "modify" each attraction selection. Your selections will be held for 5 minutes. There is a countdown timer at the top of the screen that will show the remaining time before your selections are released.

If you take to long trying to get the perfect itinerary your selections may time out or all the available times may be gone if you spend to much time trying to modify times. Just book a good set for your initial 3 per day and move along with any additional days.

Do dinning or activity reservations block you from booking ILL or MPLL for those times? For example if we have an 11:30 Ogas reservation will it not let us pick an 11:30 ride time? We would be willing to reschedule or drop some dining reservations if we had rides times then but are not sure if we should do this proactively or wait and book the rides then adjust dining based on what we get

In your pre selection the system won't assign rides LL in that window... but with the modify option you'll see those times if available and you'll be able to select them. The system will warn you of the overlap but won't block you.

We wouldn't know that for sure until the parties start, correct? Or have there been after hours parties that people have tried?

 

[danikoski]

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

We did it in 2022 for the ILL, which would be Single Pass now. I see it may have changed now. That would be too bad.

 

[NJlauren]

Are people post how their days went with new multi pass? If interested I used it yesterday and had a very successful days but think I had a slight advantage as I booked on the first day the pass was available so was able to get Tiana’s which I am getting the impression is hard if your offsite or have a short trip….

 

[danikoski]

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.

That would be a bit annoying, especially considering the money you pay for that party ticket. I guess we will find out soon.

People with resort stays can book seven days in advance of their check-in date for the length of their resort stay, up to 14 days. So, there are people already booking for August 22. There are four MNSSHP dates between now and then. People have already been booking their LLMPs for those dates. Someone has already posted they were unable to book LLMPs for August 9 for someone who only had a MNSSHP ticket.

Edit: I assume the person would have been eligible to book for August 9 if they had a regular park ticket for that date. The purchase eligibility date for LLSPs is the same as the date for LLMPs.

I forgot the MNSSHP is starting so soon. And that stinks. I felt it was a good use of the in-between time to get through some of the not party specific rides.

A poster in this thread already has confirmed that they weren't able to purchase LLMP or LLSP using the MNSSHP ticket.

I believe the poster in question confirmed that they could purchase LLMP & LLSP for the APs in their party, but not for the individual(s) with a party ticket only.

 

[Genie+]

It is not 100% confirmed if after 4pm on MNSSHP day, the system will allow LL purchase with just a party ticket at that time.

My guess is no. The ability to access LLs is attached to ticket. Not likely to change after MK arrival, but we’ll have to see…

I think it would be helpful to know how your day was if you don't mind sharing!
