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

[Disneydawg74]

On Sunday I will be able to pre-purchase Lightning Lanes for my upcoming WDW trip.

Does anyone know... Can I purchase the Multi Lightning Lane for MGM and an Individual Lightning Lane for Tron in the Magic Kingdom for later that evening?

It looks like I can click on Individual LL, buy it for Tron, and then go back and click on Multi LL and buy it for MGM. Is that correct?

Also, has anyone tried to have two people making reservations at the same time on two different devices?

Thanks! And here's hoping everyone's next WDW visit is Magical!!!

Yes, for making LLMP and LLSP at different parks.

No, for using the same account from two different devices. But people have reported using different accounts on different devices working on different days.

It looks like I can click on Individual LL, buy it for Tron, and then go back and click on Multi LL and buy it for MGM. Is that correct?

While you can make (2) separate purchases you also may make both selections in the same transaction and save time since you don't need to complete (2) transactions.

Just select the Date on the Calendar. Open the Magic Kingdom Park toggle, select your Tron LL Single Pass. Then just scroll down to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Open the toggle, select your LL Multi Pass, scroll down and Click "Continue". You will see the next screen where you can review your choices and scroll down to select the members of your group. And Click "Continue".

Only reason to have (2) transactions would be if you had a larger group for your LLMP selection and a subset of your group for the LLSP.

From what I have read, once you do your tier 1, the opportunity to get another one is almost non-existent. :/

I booked LLMP from home for my daughter while she was at DHS. I was able to get her every ride there during the day (was done collecting by 3pm) plus Indiana Jones. It was only for a party of 2. I wasn’t on my phone all day either.

I’ve also read reports here of people getting Tier 1s as additional LL. I also check the app and there are Tier 1s that show often and they aren’t drops. They are consistently on there.

I think you can have the LLMP at 1 park and the LLSP at another. I read (on another site) that people reported having 2 or 3 people signed into the same account making reservations and having credit card issues. They were not sure if that was the cause or not. She said one time she had a fraud alert pop up. I would have multiple cards and all the info just in case. One person said she tried 2 cards - but luckily her husband's went through. Don't know if it was glitching or not. I have also read reports that people were successful in getting what they wanted with others signed in as well. Just assign certain items to each person so there's no conflict.

 

[R&RsMom]

Yes there have been a few reports. Yes it can be done. Just remember that before you enter AK you will need to have a Park reservation unless Disney has marked it a "Good to Go" day.

No impact to making your advanced selections but you need the reservation to enter AK in your example.

Dave

Thanks. I assumed you’d need a park ressie for your first park. On a Facebook page, someone posted that you had to buy LLMP for the park you reserved. I knew that question had been asked here. I trust here.

 

[Dave006]

Don't know if it was glitching or not.

No Glitching. MDE can't hold multiple instances of LLMP selections for 5 minutes on the same MDE Account on more than 1 device.

... have also read reports that people were successful in getting what they wanted with others signed in as well. Just assign certain items to each person so there's no conflict.

You can have multiple MDE Accounts that have the same Friends & Family in common working on reservations for different days without issue. The problem for the back-end system is when you are trying for the same day and overlapping Group members.

The number of transactions over a short period of time may trigger the automated Fraud tools of the Card Issuer. It is not a MDE issue.

We have multiple confirmed reports of Guests being able to split the days they want to book between multiple MDE Accounts and using different CC or other payment options. Just make sure that the CC or payment details are entered and stored well before 7 AM. This information needs to be sent to the back-end system.

OT- Just set a dining alert. *********** has worked for me.

lol, blocked. Some searching and you’ll come across dining alert services that still work, don’t have to pay

Mouse Dinning (remove the extra n, all one word)? I thought that quit working a while back when Disney changed the system.

Yup, still works

I am glad you were able to get the attractions you want.

I have read blog after blog that says the times are bad, the availability is bad and the option to change to a better time is almost obsolete. We are going at the beginning of December. I am not feeling "hopeful" about our options.

It is horrendous. We had a linking mishap and ended up with one group member separate from the rest - I didn’t worry too much about it, figuring I could slide things around (as I’d done with every other digital version of the system). Just kidding. The system will say there are times available, then when you click, say, “just kidding, it’s actually hours and hours later”. But my favorite aspect is that it clearly won’t offer all of the available times….

Example:
- Two members of party have Everest at 9:20; one has 9:30, other one has 11:50AM.
- Ofher FPs are Safari at 8:25 (two 9:20 Everests and the noon Everest)/8:35 (9:30 Everest) and Dinosaur at 11 (9:30) and 11:10 (other three party members)
- If I try to rebook the 9:20 it offers 9:30; if I try to move the 9:30, it offers me 9:35. So clearly there is availability.
- If I try to rebook the noon, it will only offer me things after noonish. This persists even if I cancel Dinosaur, even if I cancel Everest and attempt to book fresh, even if I change rides and then attempt to switch back to Everest.
- My only other FPs are at 8:25 and 11:10, so it’s not an overlap issue.
- Incidentally, the overlap doesn’t seem to be a hard and fast rule. The 8:35 Safari overlaps with the 9:30 Everest; the 11:50 Everest overlaps with the 11:10 Dinosaur. These overlaps are for two different users (eg the 8:35/9:30 is one person and the 11:10/11:50 is another).

Needless to say, I am SO frustrated. This is easily the worst version of the FP system - and I’ve used all of them extensively. And we PAID for this. It effectively added $150 to our ticket price, and we didn’t even book for every day!

It’s bad enough that it will be a LONG time before I head back to WDW. We are heavy users of FP (FP+, G+), and I would consider iit essential to our ability to tour effectively. This is the most expensive trip we’ve ever taken (due to price hikes, not extravagance - we actually stepped down our hotel a bit) and yet I’m left feeling that we’re going to struggle. To say I’m displeased is an understatement.

I had a similar issue with our trip for next week, but in HS. I called and the cast member I talked to was able to get all our MPLL to be the same times, with a couple a little earlier. Our Rise SPLL is still off by about 10 minutes but that’s manageable. The MPLL were my main concern as I wanted them all to align to help with choosing subsequent rides. We have a smaller party of three, so that may have helped. It may be worth a call to see if they can help align them.

Agree on the frustration with how the times are given when you try to modify. I experienced similar when trying to move our AK times around. I ended up getting what I wanted but it was like putting a jig saw puzzle together. I had to select times I didn’t want just so I could go back in and modify again to times I actually wanted. At one point I had dinosaur and safari overlapped by 45 minutes. I could tell AK had good availability for most rides so I wasn’t as worried about loosing out when making all the changes. I don’t like the times we got for MK but am to nervous to try the same thing with those as I can tell availability is a lot more limited.

I booked LLMP this morning. It would not allow overlap at all initially. I was able to modify one to a 20-minute overlap, but I couldn’t get the others to overlap. I have 8:25 HM, 9:25 BTMR, 10:40 Pirates. The next day 9:35 Remy, 10:15 Seas, 11:15 Spaceship Earth. There are earlier times at lots of ride times showing (and still available for a long time), but when I click on them, it only gives the option to search in the hour after the last LL time.

Edited to add: I was able to check out with just the Tier 1 selected, book my second day, and then go back and add my Tier 2s. I would definitely recommend that if you are trying to get headliners on multiple days. (In my case, it was unnecessary, but I really didn’t care about my Epcot Tier 2s.)

 

[HeiHei2018]

One dislike on the new LL system. No more pinning to the Tip Board.

I was able to pre select the rides I wanted to prioritize with Genie, and they were at the top when booking LLMP.

Thanks so much for the info, Disneydawg. Have a great day!

Thanks so much! I think I will play it safe and just use the one device. Have a great day!

That is great! Several blogs I have read, people who are there daily, are reporting a different story.

 

[DaviVascaino]

hold on, so even if you have your party on your MDE, and you try to get MPLL attractions for your party, you might get different times for each member? What????????????????

Send Disney your feedback now. Maybe they still have bugs in the system?

No. They said they had a linking mishap so it sounds like they booked separately at first.

From what I have read, once you do your tier 1, the opportunity to get another one is almost non-existent. :/

I posted our experience from the first weekend several pages back and it was no issue at all to get Tier 1s on a Sat and Sun at MK and HS. In fact at one point or another we held every Tier 1 in both parks with fairly minimal refreshing. We ended up not doing JC and MMRR broke down but we had both.

Not saying that will be the case in busy weeks like Thanksgiving or Christmas, but at least early on lot of availability day of.
