Possible strategy for Lightening Lane Premier

[melissa70]

I have a five day pass and I’m doing some days LLPP and other days LLMP. Do you purchase by the day and then you have to start over ?

Yes you purchase your LLMP and/ LLSP and or your LLPP on a per day basis. Once you pay for a date you can purchase for another date. Does that make sense?

Again if your are an on-site guest you are able to pre-purchase 7 days in advance for your lenght of stay up to 14 days.

Yes it does. I suppose it’s best to just go in order? Or do the Premier ones first and then go back and do days using LLMP?

I stand corrected

I haven’t heard of premier selling out yet

LLPP sold out several days and several parks for Thanksgiving week.

For high crowd times of

LLPP sold out several days and several parks for Thanksgiving week.

how far out did it sell out?

 

[Dave006]

I haven’t heard of premier selling out yet, so it’s usually best to set your multi pass and single pass reservations first and then buy the more expensive premier pass for the other days.

It depends on when your visit is scheduled. Since LLPP only started on Oct. 30th we only have Thanksgiving week as a base line.

how far out did it sell out?

Some days for MK sold at the 8 days before mark and others sold out at 7 days. HS sold out 1 day at the 7 day mark. Again this was for Thanksgiving week and so far this is the only week that has sold-out.

If you want LLPP during Christmas week you should grab them first for MK or HS. It takes less than 2 minutes per transaction right at 7 AM ET.

As far as LLMP and/or LLSP you might consider different methods depending on which attraction you are wanting make sure that you get on a specific day.

You might want to pick the furthest out date and work backwards to your first day or pick some combination of date order. It is really driven by what park / ride attractions you want.

Actually I only plan to do one day of LLMP on 12/24 the rest of the days I would like to purchase PP-I think I will just hopefully grab those first and then do MP. How stressful!

Did LLMP and LLSP sell out during thanksgiving? Wouldn't I want to grab those before LLPP so that I can schedule times?

 

[jujubiee4]

This is making my head ache. For the MK is getting the premier pass and staying deluxe overkill?
We will be going end of April for one of my kid's Birthday. I just want to make sure she gets on everything
she wants that day, The other 3 parks Im hoping just getting LLMP will do. Also can you still buy the ILL?
Arent those `15-25 each? Thank you

Disney needs to allow LLMP booking in multiple parks for those with park hoppers.

They do after you first tap in to a ride day-of but your prebooks must be in the same park.

No for the LLMP (some attractions will have limited return times) but LLSP do sellout often. Not usually at the 7 day mark but often 3-4 days out. You need to decide your own priorities. As a reminder the purchase of your LLPP should take the lest time since it is just select and pay.

Your LLMP and/or LLSP will take up to 5 minutes per day if you want to adjust your times to try to organize / overlay some attraction times where possible.

Do you mean for per-selection selection? I am not sure it makes much difference since you can only have 1 Tier 1 and 2 tier 2 attractions. What would you want to select in multiple parks?

Dave

I understand, couldn’t I adjust times after purchase - purchase LLMP/SP then LLPP then go back and adjust times?
Is there any info on current LLPP sold out dates - 12/18 for example would be 7 days from today, is that sold out or future dates?

So lightening lane Single pass is what original Individual lightening use to be?

 

[Captain UP]

Yes and your 4th LLMP can be any tiers since by taping into your first LLMP attraction you have unlocked. You have a rolling LLMP list of up to 3 attractions at any one time. As long as additional LLMP return times remain available.

Please note that this tread started out discussing if you could get Purchase LLMP in addition to Purchasing LLPP (Premier Pass) so there is some mixing of LLMP and LLPP in this thread.

Dave

You're not wrong! I think I started the confusion myself, actually.

Lightning Lane Single Pass is the successor to Individual Lightning Lane selections. They are not identical, but are pretty similar. I think the biggest difference is when you can buy/book them.
