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

Once I tap into my fist LLMP I can modify my other two lightning lanes? Can I modify a tier 2 to a tier 1 if available? Even at another park?
Just to add to the quick response from @gottalovepluto. Yes, once you tap in at your first LLMP then the Tiers unlocked and you can modify your other 2 LLMP selection to any LLMP attraction at HS or any park without any Tier restrictions.

You guys really are the best! Thanks so much!!
 
1) When does the 7 days begin? Resort check in is 3/12 and my first park day is 3/13.

2) If I make advance LL reservations at MK, can I still rope drop AK?

THANKS!

3/5 next week. It is 7 day before your resort stay your plans for parks don't count.

Yes and you can also use on-site Earlier Entry (EE) 30 minutes before AK opens.

ETA: Fix the date from 3/2 to 3/5 thanks to @PolyRob for catching my typing mistake.

Wouldn't 7 days prior to 3/12 be Wed, 3/5 and not Sun, 3/2?

@ScarletFire if you look in MDE and click through the prompts to purchase LLMP/SP or LLPP for your first park day it will tell you when you are your guests are eligible based on your linked resort reservations, tickets, and/or park passes if applicable. It will say something like "ScarletFire will be eligible to purchase on X at 7:00am"
 
Can I buy LLMP seven days (onsite) in advance for two different parks? I know I can buy for one park in advance and then use it at other parks on the same day after the initial tapping in. BUT, can I pay for it twice, at two different parks on the same day and book each in advance. I don't want just the leftovers for park number two.
 
Interested in feedback on plans for one of my MK days. The park opens at 8:00 am with a 7:30 am EE. I will be booking LL for this MK day at 8 days.

I may book Tiana's for Tier 1, depending on availability per Thrill Data the night before booking. If not, we'll do Peter Pan and save Tiana's for a later MK day (unless I can get a drop day of).

I will likely book Haunted Mansion and Pooh for Tier 2. I'm curious if people think it's worth booking a quick hitter for right at 8:00 am like Mad Tea Party (instead of either Pooh or HM), then immediately booking another Tier 1 like Jungle Cruise or Space Mountain.

Per Thrill Data, there should be plentiful return times still for Peter Pan until Noon (on the busiest days) and Jungle Cruise until 1:00. Plenty of Tier 2 availability until the afternoon.

Instead of booking Mad Tea Party, I could also book a higher priority ride for 8:00 am and use it as quickly as possible.

Will you actually hit MK for EE? Booking MK for you on day 8 should provide you with a good range of LLMP return times.

OK now I am confused are you booking your multiple MK LLMPs 7 days before your resort stay or closer to your actual park day? If you are booking 7 or 8 days in advance all LLMP attractions should have plenty of open return windows.

The earlier you book your first LLMP attraction the sooner you unlock Tiers and have the best change for additional high value LLMP choices. Same day choices will depend the crowds.

Yes, we will definitely be there for EE 30 minutes early. I will be able to book LL this day 8 days out. The park day is my first one, the day after resort check in. I was saying that sometimes Tiana's is booked out to afternoon by others who could pre book sooner than me, but yes still availability.

Thanks - I understand the system. Was just asking for strategy but I can make educated guesses.

My personal preference is to book whatever I can get right at 8am, ideally in the area of the park that we'll be at the end of EE. Being able to book additional 1s right away is more valuable to me than holding, say, Pooh and HM. If you're really working the system and watching drop times, I think opening tier 1s ASAP nets you better pick ups over the course of the day.

When are you going since it can be quite cool in the morning before 9-10 AM to get wet on Tiana's? The coolest time of the day is normally between 6-8 AM. For example today it is 60 at 8 AM.

I have a question about preselecting LLs. I have LL at 2 different parks on 2 different days that are time sensitive (probably available at the time I want right at 7 am but might push later than I want pretty quickly). Am I able to buy the LLMP for the first park with only that time-sensitive LL selected, check out quickly, then go to the second park and buy that LLMP with only that time-sensitive LL selected, then go back later to add in the rest of my LL's in those 2 parks?
 
Planning to book multipass LL this summer for our family with mixed tickets and we are staying on site. 3 will have date based tickets and 2 will have APs. We have booked park reservations for the 2 APs that need it. When I book my LL 7 days prior, will I only be able to book at the park with a park reservation? For example, we may have a MK reservation, but I want to book 3MK LL and also a ILL at EP. Any problems with this plan? TIA!
 
When you stay on site and have the 7 day window, can you book any day within those 7 days? In my situation I’m going April 28-30. If I have a resort reservation just the night of April 29, my LL window will open on April 22. On that date can I book for the 28-30 or just the 29-30 since that would be when the actual resort reservation is?

Also I’ve been looking at the app a lot and haven’t seen Guardians or Tron ever have same-day times pop up. Has anyone had luck getting those day of? On thrill data it looks like those haven’t been available 3 days in advance

Day of is always possible but odds are quite low.

Fwiw availability for my mid-Mar trip for GOTG was slimmer than I saw it on a couple trips last year. Never had a problem getting a GOTG LL in the first couple hours of the day at 7 days out but best I could do was Noon this time. Now, availability eased up about 8-9 days out and I got morning later in the trip just fine. Unknown at this point if it's due to loss of VQ, heavy Spring Break crowds or if this is the new normal.
 
For example, we may have a MK reservation, but I want to book 3MK LL and also a ILL at EP. Any problems with this plan?
That will work just fine. You may purchase up to (2) LLSP purchases for each day of you trip. The (2) LLSP can be in any park. In your example you could make your LLMP selections for MK, a LLSP for Tron in Epcot, and a LLSP to FoP at AK all for the same day.

Thank you so much!! I just wanted to make sure I understood how it works. I haven’t used the new pre booked LL so still readings and learning. Appreciate your help!
