Where To Premium Lighting Pass?

[dtripli]

Good Day Everyone!

If you were planning to purchase a premium lighting pass for 2 parks only during your stay, which 2 parks would they be and why? We are looking at an
"end of February" trip and starting to come up with a game plan.

Always MK and HS. They are the 2 parks that have the most attractions that are busy. And just to be clear that you understand that prices for LLPP are about $359 - $419 per day per person at MK for most dates.

Good for (1) ride on every attraction that has a Lightning Lane

I'm sure it doesn't make sense financially, but I have no regrets on spending the money for LLPP at Epcot when we were coming later in the day off a cruise and wanted to get test track, remy, frozen and guardians done.

I chose HS and EP. We are going to MK for MNSSHP. My main reason was we are taking DD's (long time) boyfriend for the first time and this is probably a one and done for him and we want to do as much as possible. Going to Disney is selfishly "our" thing, but she wants him to experience it once with us before I get "too old" - ha! We are going to HS the day after they do Halloween Horror Night, so I don't imagine we will get going very early that day. We usually make EP a two day park, but will be cramming it into one day this trip - LLPP will keep the zig and zagging to a minimum. It is a lot of money, but we have talked about skipping next year until much of the new stuff opens.

We actually found Epcot to be the best use for us. We also used at MK.

Guardians, Test Track, Frozen, Remy and just being able to eat, relax and take our time. We would buy again for Epcot if it wasn't so much!

What are the ages of the group? When we take our grandson, hopefully next year when he is 4, we will definitely be buying it for MK. Not sure about anywhere else.

We also did PP at Epcot and liked it. It was nice to walk around future world and then world showcase without all the zigzagging. Maybe it's the lower price that adds perceived value?

We didn't like it at HS because we had bad luck and stuff kept shutting down. If you miss a couple of headliners, you feel like you lost money. Might try that one again after RnR opens back up.

I don't think I'd ever do it at MK. It would be too stressful to try to get everything in, and if I didn't I would feel like I didn't get my money's worth out of the pass. It would be nice though to just head one direction (tomorrow land or adventure land) and slowly work our way around the park without checking the phone constantly. My (adult) kids could probably make use of the passes in MK, but my days of commando raids on MK are behind me.

Exploring options. For example you purchase the Premier Pass for HS and do everything you want to do. And then you want to park hop to EPCOT. Do you also purchase the Lightning Lane Multi Pass or are you only able to do the Stand By lines? Are you able to purchase Single Pass for the park you hop to?

We went last year at Christmas time, and got PP for MK and AK. We were at MK for Christmas Day, so it was wonderful to have it both because the park was super crowded, and also because it added a lot of Christmas magic to the day not having to rush around or stress about what we were doing next. We also loved having it at AK, though I know for many it might not be worth it. AK is our favorite park because we love to stroll the trails, and my kids are obsessed with doing the Wilderness Adventure badges. Having the PP let us take all of those things on our own time.

It was definitely a *splurge* but not having to crisscross Epcot on a day when we were arriving after noon (and the weather had TT shut down for a while) was nice.

MK and EPCOT

HS - MPLL + LL + rope drop should cover most if not all the rides. Whereas EPCOT might be difficult to get all the Tier 1.

Do you also purchase the Lightning Lane Multi Pass or are you only able to do the Stand By lines? Are you able to purchase Single Pass for the park you hop to?

You have the option to purchase LLMP and/or LLSP for any park including your initial park of HS. In the case of HS it would allow you to enjoy 2 visits to some of your favorite attractions. The LLPP is only (1) visit to each LL attraction.

Definitely Studios for one.

The other would be Magic Kingdom or Epcot, depending on what my other plans were for that trip and who I was with. MK has the most after hours parties, so I won't get LLs if I'm also going to a party on that trip. But Remi and Test Track both have single rider lines, so if I don't need to sit with my group, I'll do those and just ropedrop Frozen.

I would get it for magic kingdom for sure. There’s too much to see in one day. Hollywood studios would be my second choice they tend to have long wait times on most of the attractions.

Thank You One & All!..... We have no "little ones" with us this trip. We will be celebrating our sons high school graduation and traveling with our other daughter and her hubby as well. I think HS and MK is what we will do. Thank you so much for all the input. On another note....has anyone done deluxe and used the "extra evening hours'? I guess that is another option in lue of the lighting lanes? Can you get to everything in those 2 hours?
