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

[summerlvr]

I read the first 175 pages, and don't recall seeing this. Can I book LLSP for two different parks? Looking to book FoP and Guardians for the same day.

Yes, as long as you have a ticket that allows park hopping.

Going Wednesday 10/2 thru Sunday 10/6 - but not doing a park until 10/3 which will be MK. Studios on Saturday 20/5
Will be staying on property, would you book HS first to get SDD or should i book MK first for Tiana’s (dont really want to try for VQ)
Will have park hoppers if that matters.
Not doing party.

So booked this morning. In my tweaking process it tells me a selection i now have for 10:15 - 11:15 is earlier could modify for 9:45. The next thing i have is not untl 10:55 so there would be no overlap. But why wont it allow it? They only seem to want me to stick ii in later after my 2nd selection. But if i keep going back it keeps showing earliest time at 9:45, so not like someone snatched it up.There is nothing before it and my 3rd selection is not until afternoon.

Yeah same, just have one i want to tweak as i mentioned above. All the big hitters were no problem, even moved a couple of them later since i didnt want Slinky as first selection since ill be modifying one person out of it day of after first tap ride. We were pleased with how this morning bookings went. Also moved Tiana to 11 oclock hour since didnt want to get wet too early.

Trying to wrap my head around all the new rules for my November trip!
I will be attending a conference, so I will most likely have hopper convention (non-dated) tickets. These require a park reservation I believe. Our priorities are to ride Tron, Guardians, FoP, RnR and Tiana. We'll be staying at the Dolphin

I have a few questions related to reservations and LLMP/LLSP since these tickets are a little different! Hoping someone here can help.
1- To book Tiana as a tier 1 for MK on my LLMP, does my reservation need to be for MK? Or can I choose any three rides in any park?
2- To get a LLSP for Tron or Guardians do I need to have a reservation for that park? I think I can book those anywhere, right?
3- After I use my first LLMP, I can choose another in any park, right?
4- There are a lot of parties going on during our trip. Do you think LLMP selection and crowds will be better at the park before the party?

When in November? There will be busy times around Veterans Day and Thanksgiving Week.

1- To book Tiana as a tier 1 for MK on my LLMP, does my reservation need to be for MK? Or can I choose any three rides in any park?

Yes unless you want all times after 2 PM. For your initial up to 3 LLMP selections must be in the same park but then don't have to be at the park you start at with a reservation. For example your Park reservation could be AK and you chose to book your initial 3 LLMP selections for MK which you plan to hop to after AK.

2- To get a LLSP for Tron or Guardians do I need to have a reservation for that park? I think I can book those anywhere, right?

You always need an initial Park reservation based on your ticket type. If you purchase 2 LLSP at 2 different parks MDE will ask which park you are going to first and offer times as appropriate.

3- After I use my first LLMP, I can choose another in any park, right?

Yes as well as unlocking the Tier 1 / 2 restrictions.

4- There are a lot of parties going on during our trip. Do you think LLMP selection and crowds will be better at the park before the party?

It varies depending on many factors but the basic rule is the park holding the Party will have fewer day guests. There will be fewer LLMP and/or LLSP offered due to the shorter hours. If you go earlier in the day you may not even need to purchase LLMP for that day.

Thanks for all the info! This would be the weekend before Thanksgiving (Friday-Sunday 11/22-24) so I expect it to be crowded but not as crazy as Thanksgiving.

To make sure I understand, so are you saying that if I want to start at AK and hop to another park, I could make a park reservation for AK but then at 7 days out I would be restricted to times after 2pm for LLs at the other parks? In other words, I could book my LLs at another park than the one I have reservations for, but I probably don't want to because I wouldn't be able to get more until after 2pm. Is that right?

 

[Dave006]

I could make a park reservation for AK but then at 7 days out I would be restricted to times after 2pm for LLs at the other parks?

No. The after 2 PM is only a factor when you don't have an initial park reservation. By default then MDE only shows you attraction times after 2 PM for any park.

This is because you can enter any park after 2 PM without a reservation except MK on Saturday or Sunday.

We moved our Tiana to later in the day because I didn't want to start our day wet either. Have a great trip.

Do we have any data on does higher pricing automatically mean higher crowd levels? I noticed our HS day, the price jumped (still have 2 weeks to decide), we weren't going to get LL but now I'm thinking maybe we should.

 

[Dave006]

Will be staying on property, would you book HS first to get SDD or should i book MK first for Tiana’s (dont really want to try for VQ)

Since you are going to HS on a Saturday, I would book for Saturday to get your SDD first. Tiana's is more challenging due to the issue getting wet at the wrong time of the day.

Does anyone know where I can see the prices for October? Because I'm international the app doesn't show them.

Thanks

 

[FSU Girl]

What’s the best way to book fast pass for multiple people who won’t be doing all rides together? Some my parents definitely won’t go on and some they’ll want to. Should I book first 3 with them and then they can book their fourth for something separate from us? Or is there an easier way to do this

The MDE app only displays a rolling 21 window for LLMP and/or LLSP. No pricing data past September 22, 2024 at this time for anyone in the world. The best we can do is to look at last year's Genie+ historical data.

link: https://www.thrill-data.com/lightning-lane/wdw/price-history ( you need to scroll down about 1/2 the page to see last year's Genie+ data.

Ok, gotcha. Thank you!

 

[Dave006]

Will they be walking with you as a group in the parks? It is always easier to book everyone for the same 3 initial selections and then modify their selections after your initial purchase. That way you will get the best change to get your attractions that go quickly in the LLMP selection process.

Should I book first 3 with them and then they can book their fourth for something separate from us?

Again will they be traveling with you as a group in the parks or off on their own and just meeting for meals for example?

Maybe. The pricing is based on Disney's analytics as to what the park attendance projections are for a given period. The actual attendance at any park really depends on quite a few factors including the day of the week.

They’ll probably want to spend most or at least half the day with us. Last time they spent the whole day with us and then when we went back for a nap when my first was a baby they stayed in the park and did their own thing.

But they can’t do intense rides like dinosaur which I’d like to do and probably as one of our three selection. Can I modify it after I book for the two of them to a different ride?
