Multi pass LL leading reservation?

whether LL reservations are tied to your park admission ticket or to your hotel reservation

Both, and each requirement is validated separately when determining your earliest possible booking date for each day. Whichever would give you the earlier booking date trumps.

As a reminder, here is the timing per the dedicated LL thread:

@Jeff_AZ

Timing of Purchase and Pre-booking Guests may purchase LLMP and make their initial three selections based on their resort status and ticket type as follows:
a) Disney resort guests:

• Onsite resort guests may pre-book beginning at 7:00am 7 days before check-in day for their length of stay up to 14 days.
• Disney resort guests include cash and points guests of all Disney resorts and WDW DVC properties, as well as guests of the Dolphin, Swan, Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green.
• Testing has confirmed that split stays are bridged in Disney’s system – in other words, if you have two on-site hotel stays for consecutive days, your “length of stay” includes both hotel reservations. If there is a gap between on-site reservations, your booking date will be determined independently for each stay.

b) Offsite resort guests:

• Guests with date-based tickets may pre-book beginning at 7:00am 3 days before the first day of their ticket for the total number of valid admission days of their ticket.
• Guests with an Annual Pass or other non-date based ticket may purchase and pre-book beginning at 7:00am 3 days before the day of use.

c) International guests:

• Citing complications with international law, Disney has implemented restrictions preventing guests from purchasing LLMP or booking LLs from outside the United States and Canada within MDE. However, international guests may have someone in the US or Canada purchase / book on their behalf, or use the method described in this article .

If I cancel reservation #2, do my LL reservations stay in place, or are they cancelled?

I believe that if you cancel your leading reservation before you become otherwise eligible to book, they could be removed by the end of the day when you cancel your hotel reservation unless you book a new reservation that makes you eligible.

Right now, the 8 day cancellation window isn’t in effect (it’s still 5 days) so you could in theory use a leading reservation (which I do not advocate for ethical reasons). But starting January 1st, you will have to cancel before 8 days so leading reservations won’t work unless you are prepared to pay for the leading reservation.
