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

[Dave006]

Has anyone tried booking LLMP from a cruise (Treasure)? WiFi was terrible on our previous cruise (Fantasy), but this time it’s Eastern Carribean.

As far as I recall you are the only 1 that has tried on a cruise and reported it.

I haven’t tried it, but was looking for experiences.

We have a 7 night cruise ending on a Sat. If we check in to WDW on the same day, I suppose 7 days would be the cruise embarkation day. We would be at Hyatt Orlando airport still.

Oh my bad it thought you brought this up before.

Yes your day to make your LLMP and/or LLSP or even LLPP would be on the Saturday before your cruise return. So you have Wi-Fi and Cellular data so no excuses at the Hyatt Orlando.

I understand the split stays are not an issue with buying llmp’s for your whole stay (unlike ADR’s) but I just want to make sure I have this correct as we have 3 hotels in our upcoming trip but only one part is a package.

Night 1 - Swan
Night 2 - Grand Floridian-one day tickets for HS
Night 3 - after hour event tickets only
Night 4 - Transfer to Poly where 3 day park ticket is part of package

I’m thinking I can get my ll’s for our one day 7 days prior to our ticket for HS (or is it 7 days prior to check in at Swan?) but can’t do our multipass until 7 days before the Poly stay with our tickets (this is a package) correct?

It's 7 days prior to your check in at the Swan. I'm not sure about the package tickets, but hopefully you can do your whole stay as long as your tickets are all linked to MDE.

I am doing a split stay this weekend:

Night 1 - Dolphin
Nights 2&3 - Boardwalk

I was able to book LL's for my whole trip one week before my check in at the Dolphin. The only difference is I have an Annual Pass.

I don't know that we've seen anyone mix normal tickets with package tickets yet?

I'd plan for being able to do all of it in case it's open when you first try.

 

[DisneyGuy]

I’d love to be able to do it all at once - it’s easier and the day is more convenient.

Booking LL tomorrow morning. FIRST TIME!

My party will do LLMP everyday BUT only some will do the LLSP. Will I have to book these separate or when booking can I select LLMP for all then then LLSP just for those that want it. It appears like it has to be everyone the same.

Example: Magic Kingdom 5 people for LLMP, 5 people for Mine Train LLSP, 2 for Tron LLSP.

Will I be able to select 5 and then just 2 for Tron in one transaction or will I have to do separate?

It will have to be two separate purchases. Everyone in a single purchase must buy/book the same rides. I suggest you buy the two Tron LLSPs first, then the five LLMPs and SDMT LLSPs, or vice versa. Booking it as 3+2 might mean not getting the same or even overlapping times for the LLMP rides.

I will probably book the LLMP and Mine Train first. Tron is just DW and I and I don't care if its at night. Our first park day is actually 9 days out when our 7 day window opens so I think availability wont be an issue.

Thank you for the info!

Guessing it's just a typo but Mine Train is a LLSP.

Also, you may wish to check wait times for AK and Epcot. Totally your choice but you quite likely will not 'need' LLMP for these parks. It will save a bit of time on a few rides but not sure enough to justify the cost but again, totally your call depending on your budget.

Think you just misread the post or didn't see initial post.

I have looked at the waits time probably way more then most but for my days itll be $195 for the family for LLMP. Wait times have been super low but don't want my luck to be not getting LLMP and waits being high that day. We will be in Epcot on a Monday which has been higher and both my Epcot and AK days are on extended hour days. For about $100 a day in the grand scheme its worth it to us.

 

[Disturbia]

We did book Tron first on our MK morning for 4 out of 5 of us (5 year old don’t meet height requirements) and then FOP for 4 at AK (extended evening for deluxe guests). Park hoppers meant we can book 2 LLSPs per day for all days we planned on hopping. The FOP pass was on day 4 of our trip so it was the last thing we booked. Prioritized MK then HS LLMPs and then LLSP at those parks and then day 7+.

Availability won’t be an issue if you’re booking as an onsite guests after the first 3-4 days.

So I know what the FAQs state but they leave a lot of wiggle room (and Disney IT does not always worked the way described so . . .)

Does anyone have any actual data points on what happens with LL advance reservations if you MODIFY a reservation? The FAQs seem to imply that they MAY be cancelled "based on eligibility rules". Has they system been OK at allowing you to keep any LL reservations you made that you would have been eligible to make under the new reservation? I know in the past the system sometimes looked at a modification as a cancellation and a rebook so wanted to see if any data points.

Again - not talking about LL reservations for days you wouldn't have been allowed to make - just those where the modification would have have affected your eligibility.

We are outliers, but we are fans of LLMP, even on slower days.
Even at Epcot, if SE, Nemo, Soarin, Land , Figment, and Mission space are 20 minutes, you save 2 hours. Plus 45-an hour for Remy and Frozen. The same for TT when back and not new. It saves at least 3 hours in our experience,

Another split time question.
1. We arrive on Friday February 21st staying at the BWV for one night (two people).
2. The rest of the family, six more people, arrive the next day Saturday February 22nd staying at the BWV for seven nights.
3. We all have seven-day tickets that start on Friday February 21st

QUESTION? Can I make Lightning Lane reservations on February 14th, seven days before Friday February 21st, for everyone for the entire stay?

NOTE: The one-night stay is a separate reservation number than the seven-night stay.

No you can not book for all 8 on Friday, Feb. 14th.

You can book only for the 2 that have a reservation for 2/21 LLMP and/or LLSP for the duration of the tickets. The remaining 6 are not eligible for LLMP and/or LLSP until Feb. 15, seven days before their start begins on 2/22.

100% rather spend 2-3 hours enjoying World Showcase then saving $100

The other amazing thing about LLMP even for slow days, is you minimize your standing. I always see posts about people being exhausted from 20-30k step days but in my opinion the number of steps is not what is so exhausting, it's the standing and waiting in lines. I can knock out 25k steps in a 10a-6p park day and barely be tired, because I don't wait in anything longer than a 5-10 minute LL line. I sit down and rest between rides (and refresh) and get snacks, and at the end of a trip I'm hardly tired at all. I have done trips with more waiting in lines and they are 10x more exhausting.

During the prebooking period, I'm aware that LLMP arrival windows typically are not allowed to overlap with some weird exceptions. My question is does the system allow LLSP arrival windows to overlap LLMP arrival windows during the prebooking period? I know that day of, arrival windows can freely overlap like the old G+ system but I'm curious about the days before. Thanks!
