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

[NJlauren]

Wait, can you buy your single pass (guradrians etc) 7 days in advance as well? Or is this a glitch? I was able to book guardians for the 31st

I thought single pass was still day of?

not a glitch!! enjoy!

Lol. No. We have a group of 21 for 4 park days. Two of us were each booking 2 days. Trying to get overlapping times was a pain!

Ah. Thank you for clarifying, lol. I was having a hard time believing my eyes there.

We did a group of 24 a few years ago, so I understand the struggle!

Well this is amazing! I don’t know why I thought single pass still needed to be booked day of! This made my day

I have a split stay and I was able to purchase for the entire stay if I wanted.

Great news!
I was hoping this was the case for my trip the first week of August.

That's what I thought. The kid that won't ride is tall enough so I know that can cause an issue too. I'll just buy

Dumb question that is more related to general info vs ILL and I'm stressing because we leave within the 1st 7 days of this...

I have a child that won't ride Guardians. Do I buy him an ILL so he can still stand in line with the four of us but parent swap; then my kid 2 would be able to ride again (on child 1's ILL with me)? Or do I not need to buy him one and they will still allow kid 2 to ride with me after the swap?

If you child swap you do not need to buy the person who is not riding an ILL.

My daughter does not ride any roller coasters. We only purchase for myself, husband and son. When we are ready to tap into ILL we explain that we are child swapping. They will use their iPad and scan my son’s magic band because he is able to ride it twice- once with me and once with my husband. If I’m riding first with my son and my husband is waiting they will also scan my husbands magic band. That way if the time has elapsed for your ILL during the child swap it lets you in past that time.

There have been rides that let her into the queue with us because she’s tall enough for the ride, and they child swap right before you get on. Just have to explain that to the cast member.

Hope this makes sense.

My specific question about park hopping is the different pricing… if I start in AK and pay $17 (priced that for a random day in August), use all my passes, then decide to hop to MK - will I have to pay the $10 difference (MK at $27 for the date I was looking at) or will it still be $17?

No you don't have to pay the difference to hop on your park day. Your park hopping entitlement pays for it. There was a lot of Guest feedback concerning why they were paying extra for park hopping and then had to pay extra for a Multi Park G+ option.

What we don't have data on is what happens if you change your park selection before day of use. Using your example you Pay for AK and then swap it with MK what happens if anything to the pricing.

I was able to get everything I wanted at the general times I wanted without a problem. Did some modifying during and after booking without a problem. I booked my Magic Kingdom park first because we really want to go on Tiana. I was also able to book in the early afternoon at HS for July 30 even though my park reservation is for MK which I am planning on rope dropping. Happy to say everything went smooth. I am anxious to see how a day of reservation goes later in the trip. Not quite sure if and where I want to go just yet.

I booked MK first also to get Tiana- I was just curious and went back in but I cannot modify Tiana anymore as it has no options to modify to. So not sure if that changes day of or not. It will be interesting to see if and what rides are available after you ride one.

Please remember, many found G+ not to be worth the cost at Epcot and AK. It may very well may be the same with LLMP. Just because you can purchase it does not necessarily make it worth the price if what you’re paying.

I’m surprised by the number of people purchasing for every day if they trip and adding hundreds of dollars in one quick go.

This is how we child swapped with a 13 year old on Guardians with a VQ. I wasn't kidding when I told the CM I would get grief from her grandmother if I let her out of mine or my husbands sight on her own. Her cousin was able to ride 2x which was nice and I give the 13 year old props for being very gracious and waiting with us. I originally tried to do the one where you do it at the entrance but they made her go through the line due to her age/height.

I wonder if Disney will be releasing day of LL. I went in just to peek at times for DHS and TSM is into the late afternoon yet RnRC is in the morning.

Really hoping this is the case. I'm not too impressed with availability at this point.

Thought, It's strange how SDD still has availability at DHS while TSM is "sold out"

Staying at the Dolphin and getting EEH and EE - we only purchased it for 2 days of our 4 day trip. I agree with your point, part of the reason I didn't purchase for every day is also this summer waits are very low and it'll be nice to have some slower days.

Does anyone know if I’m staying on property but my parents stay off property but we are linked, can I book fast pass for all of us or will they not be able to be selected

 

[Dave006]

Wait, can you buy your single pass (guradrians etc) 7 days in advance as well?

Yes up to 2 LLSP per day (can be different parks if you have hopper) and if you are on-site then 7 days in advance.

your parents will need to have a valid hotel reservation to be apart of the 7 day out booking

Right now you should plan on adding them to your on-site reservation if you want to have them in your Group for LLMP / LLSP at the 7 day mark.

From what I understand… They are talking about having one kid ride twice with the same parent by using the child swap for another kid.

 

[Dreams&wishes]

Yes it's shocking that you can't get a refund where are the consumer's laws??? It made sense with genie+ because you were buying it the day of, but we are buying this two weeks in advance, what if there is an hurricane what if one gets sick etc....

 

[Stefne]

I really hope Disney is holding back time slots for day of bookings. If not, I am not sure of the LLMP value. There seemed to be less of a selection of time slots than with Genie+-perhaps they are holding back.

I wouldn’t necessarily use today as a good indicator for future “day of” availability. I imagine there are a lot more bloggers/influencers/local travel planners and such using and testing out the system today to be some of the first to get info out to the public. I feel like after this first rush, availability might be better and level out to be more consistent with genie+ availability on a given day. Does that make sense?

 

[Leigh123]

Ugh I’m so confused on how to use this as a park hopper feature? It only gives you the availability to purchase one park at a time if I want to park hop do I have to buy it for more than one park on the same day?
