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

[SmallWorld71]

Sounds like you have a great Epcot day. How long did you wait to return for your LLSP and did the CM provide you any range of time to use your late LL?

Dave

The CMs quote was, ‘Don’t worry. If you paid for it, we’ll make sure you get on.’
In the end it was used about 35 minutes after it expired or 20 minutes past the grace period. Pass was for 5:15-6:15 and used about 6:50.

Thank you!! I had it out with a cast member the other day through the chat feature…

Don’t bother with Disney Chat when looking for answers to questions. They are infamous for their incorrect info.

I plan to book 1 day with the LLMP as well as the LLSP. I have a group of 5 for the MP, but only need 4 for the SP. Is that difficult to do or can I just select the group when I buy the SP? Or, would it be better to purchase the LLMP then go back in for the LLSP, selecting the party at that time?

ETA: I'm looking at the possibility of not being able to get Tiana (2nd day pick, no later options); is it hard to modify from another tier 1 if Tiana should pop up? I've watched the blogger videos until I'm cross eyed, but haven't seen that done yet.

just messing around while at home. Maybe I should try me and my husband to see how availability changes.

How do you do this? Are you AP? I don’t see a way to check LL’s since I don’t have tickets

It is very easy if you just purchase your LLMP and LLSP in 2 transactions. Since as part of the purchase process steps you select the Group members before you pick your LLMP and/or LLSP for a particular day.

Yes it is very simple once you have seen the process. @JackieT1182 posted the screen shots from MDE on August 4th. I will include a link to their detailed post and also include it here for reference.

Here is the step by step view from @JackieT1182 's post...

---

1. Select the LL that you want to modify and click “modify selection”

2. Choose from the list of available LL and click “change to this time”

3. Click “modify experience”

4. Select the person(s) in your group who you want to change to the new LL, then click “continue” (any person(s) left unselected here will keep the original LL).

5. Click “continue” (note that there is no final review after this screen - once you click continue here, your selections are finalized).

Hopefully this works for you!

Yes to get this far in the selection / purchase process you have to have an active ticket assigned in MDE.

I am trying to purchase LL for first time on this new system was eligible at 7am but it's been "adding a few more magical touches" for 7 minutes now. How long does this normally take? If it's magic it should happen instantaneously

Only did it once on Friday the 16th. Got on immediately but first tried on my ipad and it cut off the calendar and the date I needed couldn't be seen. I then got on my iphone and was able to see the whole month. Both ipad and iphone was able to get on immediately at 7:00 and about 7:02AM.

We found this issue on July 24th. The LL Banner takes up to much real estate on the top of the Calendar screen on most standard iPads. It should be resolved in the next update.

I had this issue also - I'm an "older" individual so I have the larger text size on my iPhone. Once I lowered the text size I was able to see the full calendar and it made booking everything so much easier.

That's fine you don't have to pick all 3 before you purchase. You can just pick 1, 2, 3 or even none at initial purchase.

You can always add or modify your initial selections at any time.

Dave

Thank you Dave!!

Ugh. Got most of what we wanted but man that was buggy and frustrating. It kept failing. I have about 5 reversed charges on my credit card.


Our second day though we could mostly only get afternoon reservations which is a bit annoying. Going to keep watching those and see if we can modify any of them

 

[Griffin11]

Modifying your selections day-of: Can anyone clarify whether you can still modify your selection once you are within your window to use it?

For example if your timeslot is 11am - noon and at 11:30am you want to modify it.

When I last used Genie+, I could modify my selections up until they expired (noon in the example above), but the wording Disney uses now seems to suggest you can only modify until the beginning of your timeslot (11am).

I realize that if I am not intending to use it at all I can just cancel and book something else, but I'm thinking of scenarios when I don't want to give up the existing booking unless I can get something better.

Are you booking seven days out?

Anyone feel that Peter Pan opening up has freed up some LLMP offerings at MK?

I got Tiana as my tier 1 but I’m hoping for Peter Pan day of! Maybe wishful thinking

Not for long. Jungle Cruise closes for its refurb soon.

 

[quoo]

Are you booking seven days out?

Yes just as our 7 day window opened. The day we had trouble with was 9 days out.

Funnily the day before was pretty much perfect. Maybe the difference between AK and HS

If I'm going with a group of friends is there a way for everyone to purchase LLMP individually to be eligible for booking 7am, 3 or 7 days in advance? Or does one friend have to pay for the entire group on the day of for all of our selections to be together?

Everyone can book individually on the day they are eligible- but good luck coordinating anything. I would have one person handle the booking and just Venmo each other.
