Possible strategy for Lightening Lane Premier

[Captain UP]

Has anyone tried this yet:

Get LL Premier for your morning park and then get LL+ as well.

While going on your morning park rides, build up LL+'s every two hours at your afternoon park, then by the time you get there, you have 3-5 LL's built up.

Sort of a jury-rigged multi-park LL Premier.

Any thoughts?

We did LL Premier once. It was awesome. But it was a very full day (to be fair we tried to do all of the rides just because we could) so I can’t think of rides that I would have necessarily wanted to repeat.

If you really want repeats you may want to consider biting the bullet and just doing VIP.

LLMP doesn't work the same way that Genie+ did. You actually have to tap into a ride before you can book the next one.

Just to clarify- is there no longer an option at all where you can book a second ride after a 2 hour interval?

Makes sense. I'm thinking if you do, say, Epcot with LLPremier you could be done relatively early in the day and still have time for a second park.

Correct, the 2-hour rule is gone.

Well that kills this idea then! Haha!

Thanks!

With TT down unless you really want to make sure to do both Remy and Frozen without having to wait in line I don’t think it’s worth it for Epcot. Everything else is pretty reliably available using LLMP and buying Guardians.

I still maintain that Soarin as a Tier 1 is ridiculous. Frankly I have recommended people not buying LLs there at all and just using magic hours to do Remy or Frozen Boat.

Sounds expensive lol

I haven’t tried that combo myself, but it sounds like a solid strategy for maximizing LLs. I usually stick to focusing on LL Premier in the mornings and then LL+ later, but spreading them across multiple parks like that could definitely work to stack up more LLs throughout the day. I think the timing might be tricky at first, but if it helps you rack up 3-5 LLs by the time you get to the afternoon park, it seems like a good setup.

Are you saying the 2 hour rule is still in play?

On the day you buy LLMP for your second park and as part of the process of buying it, you'll be able to book 3 rides at that park. You won't be able to book a 4th ride until you tap into the first one at that park, but that 4th ride can be at any time between when you book it and park closing time. And each time you tap into a ride, you can book another one, subject to availability and park closing time. IOW there's no 2-hour rule, just ride one, book another now.

Thank you! I didn't realize it was 3 now at booking. That helps a lot.

People who only have a 3-day booking window wouldn’t be able to get it as a tier 2.

Just to clarify that there are some restrictions on your initial LLMP selections. Yes it is up to 3 but you can only have 1 Tier 1 attraction and 2 Tier attractions or 3 Tier 2 attractions. Once you tap in to your first LLMP attraction, you unlock both the tiers and Multi Park for park hoppers.

This strategy no longer works with LLMP. A guest can book and hold a max of 3 LL’s at any one time. Initial LL’s must all be in the same park. Fourth LL cannot be booked until the first LL is tapped into. Once the first LL has been tapped into it opens the opportunity to book/more at the same park or a different park.

No, the 2 hour rule no longer exists. This was Genie+ which was replaced by Lightning Lane Multi Pass earlier this year.

And this one has got me confused.

Congrats, Mouse- you finally did it.

LLMP doesn't work the same way that Genie+ did. You actually have to tap into a ride before you can book the next one.

After you tap into ride 1, you can book a 4th? Then each ride you tap into, you can book another?

 

[Dave006]

After you tap into ride 1, you can book a 4th? Then each ride you tap into, you can book another?

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.
