Possible strategy for Lightening Lane Premier

[AttheParks]

Yes. Today our window opened for check in 12/21. We booked a 10 night stay so I can book everything even 12/31 (check out day).

Longer trips help, but the cost of a longer trip (make do with LLMP/SP) vs shorter trip+LLPP need to be weighed

Ahh-forgot about the 10 days! And agree about the length of trips if using premier pass.

Can anyone who is familiar with crowds give an opinion? Arriving Tuesday night in Late April. Plan to do
MK on Wed(staying deluxe) maybe get premier pass? Thursday HS get premier pass. Friday Epcot LLMP
and Sat Animal Kingdom LLMP. Would you switch anything around or does it sound fine. No park hopping.

Thank you.

How late in April are you arriving? Easter is very late in 2025 (Sun, Apr 20) so that might make a difference.

The 28th so planned to do Universal 28th and 29th then WDW the next 4 days.

I believe your plan is a good one. The one thing to note is that crowds will pick up in Epcot Fri evening.

The lists now start with January 1st, 2025 which may be confusing so check carefully.
The page is organize by park with availability and pricing. And the parks repeat with the sell-out day if earlier then the time of park close at the end of day.

What do the last two sentences mean?

Also why is Jungle Cruise showing as unavailable on LLMP availability on January 3,4,5,6 of 2025? Seems weird.

Check the listing, with the roll-over 2025 the January dates now appear on the Park sections. Finding your date / dates to check has been confusing to some guests. Before the 2025 dates started showing up on the lists. The list always displayed today's date moving forward.

For example today's version of the lists shows Jan. 1 - Jan 6th at the top of each list before it shows today's entry of Dec. 16th.

That would appear to show the conversion from the Christmas overlay "Jingle Cruise" (listed second from the right on the attraction list), back to the regular Jungle Cruise version.

Do it make more sense now"

The list on Thrill Data is set to sort by the first numbers of the field. Normally the list shows all the dates chronologically. e.g. Nov 29, Nov 30, Dec 1, etc. but, since the number '01' (January) is before '12' (December) the list is currently displaying '01' January dates followed by '12' December dates.

Does anyone know what happens when you have a LLMP return time and a LLPP? Which one does it take first?

It should be LLPP and then LLMP but do you really care since you have both on your MDE account?

If you have a rider switch you might need to be careful.

We had VQ for Tron and a ILL$ for it. I would book/ride the LLMP first and then hope the VQ gets called after.

We’ve had instances where we had a recovery ANd a Genie+ pass and the ride took our recovery for a tier1 ride on a tier2 ride (like Pirates). And make sure your kids don’t scan twice!

 

[Disturbia]

I would take screen shots of any recovery pass showing the guests eligible (we have to scroll a bit for 5 people).
