Does anyone know of or have a list of any of the good neighbor or non official Disney hotels that are included in booking 7 days in advance?

 

[AttheParks]

Check in on 27th...,just received an email from Disney Destinations 'PREPARING FOR YOUR DISNEY WORLD VACATION'. Not a word in there about LLMP or being able to book tomorrow. Worst of all-if I click on "Prepare for your Vacation" it talks all about Genie+! Thank goodness I read these boards and blogs.

Nice that it's under one tab vs. the old way of purchasing G+ and then purchasing ILL$.

I can purchase tomorrow for our trip on Saturday. Does anyone know, do I have to purchase one day at a time, or will I be able to pick rides for each day and any individual purchase rides and then pay all at once

If you're staying offsite, I think you need to do each day individually.

You can only purchase 1 day at a time but purchasing your additional days is very easy. From the LLMP confirmation screen, you can tap “Plan Another Day” to purchase another day.

Note: you are able to combine LLSP selections with your LLMP selections in a single purchase for each day or you are able to purchase your LLSP selections for a day as a separate purchase (great method when you are only making LLSP selections for a subset of your group.

ETA: Added note about LLSP selections.

From the Disneyworld website:

1. Open the My Disney Experience app, then tap the Lightning Lane Passes section on the home screen.
2. Select a date and theme park.
3. Select a Lightning Lane Single Pass, a Lightning Lane Multi Pass or both.
   • If you select a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you can choose up to 3 Lightning Lane Multi Pass experiences and arrival windows in advance.
   • If you select a Lightning Lane Single Pass, you can choose an arrival window in advance.
4. Follow all prompts to complete your purchase—and receive a confirmation.
5. From the confirmation screen, you can tap “Plan Another Day” to purchase another pass—or tap “View My Day” for details about your Lightning Lane selections.

(The numbering doesn't appear when I look at the website, but I copy and pasted the text.) Since you "complete your purchase" before you "Plan Another Day," it looks like you can't pay all at once. Perhaps the system will keep your credit/debit card info on file to use again, but I think you will need to confirm each purchase separately.

If you're staying offsite, I think you need to do each day individually.

Everyone is limited to purchasing1 day of LLMPs at a time but on-site guests have a 7 day window and off site guest have a 3 day window. You can make multiple purchases on your eligible date but it is still 1 day at a time.

Note: you have to have tickets linked in MDE before you are able to purchase LLMP or LLSPs. Guests with un-dated tickets or APs also need to have a Park reservation.

It seems like offsite can start booking 3 days prior, for length of ticket.

 

[Dave006]

Yes but everyone is only able to purchase 1 day at time. @francie57 was asking about purchasing multiple days in a single transaction in MDE.

For dated tickets, that is correct. Not for undated tickets and annual passes though.

Has the question been answered if the initial LLMPs can be made for a park other than the one on the reservation? (I do have hopper tickets)

 

[princesswahooey]

Has the question been answered if the initial LLMPs can be made for a park other than the one on the reservation? (I do have hopper tickets)

From my understanding, all 3 must be made in the starting park. There is still speculation (no solid answers) on whether you can simply modify your 2nd and 3rd picks after you scan in for your first. We still don't know if you have to stay in the park or whether you can modify the tier 2s to tier 1 after scanning into the first ride. This is a question we'll hope to find out the answer to tomorrow. There are folks in the park this week hoping to share their intel. Stay tuned!

 

[Dave006]

Could you clarify what you mean by reservation?

As a default answer you can have up to 3 selections per person for a single park with LLMP and up to 2 LLSP selections per day per person.

If you have a park reservation for a day then you can only pre-purchase LLMP options for that park. After you use your initial LLMP selection or the time expires then you can make another LLMP reservation in any park without restriction to Tiers (Groups).

It gets even more complex since you are able to make up to 3 LLMP selections (you don't have to make all 3) before your first park visit of the day.

The use case that many of use are waiting for is if once you tap in for your maybe 1 pre-selected LLMP, are you able to make picks 2, pick 3, and pick 4 (replacement for pick 1) since you are able to hold 3 rolling selections at any time for any park. We know that Tiers (Groups) disappear as soon as you tap in to your first selection.
