I don’t quite know how to phrase it in the post, but once a two hour window passes, you have that second LL permanently and can book another as.soon as you tap into that one, even if you have a later time.

Example: at 9 AM I book Slinky for 5 PM.
At 11 AM I book an 11:05 for Muppets (yeah, I know…)
At 11:05 I tap into Muppets and immediately book a LL for MFSR for 1:30.
Etc.

After day one , it was mentioned you may be able to gain the system with Remy. You could get a VQ and a ILL…

So getting the same ride twice is a possibility with the RAT.

Re: Genie+ Advance Purchase - AP holders cannot purchase Genie+ in advance, they must do it day-of.

This is because advance purchases are for the duration of the guest’s ticket, not just select days, and an AP is for a whole year. An AP holder trying to get it for select days is not something Genie+ can handle.

@mikejs78 Thanks. This has been my question. This is good to know since otherwise it feels like a late day SDD would mess up genie+ benefits.

Thank you so much @Jeff_AZ !! You are a super liner! You contribute so much to this forum and it is very appreciated!

@Jeff_AZ

at the following attractions:

Is ILL purchased AT the attraction? Or FOR the attraction? Where, physically, does a person buy ILL - anywhere their phone is, or are there purchase locations? Just trying to understand. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[Jeff_AZ]

All purchase must be done with a phone through My Disney Experience app. The verbiage I chose there was simply meant to convey which attractions you can buy a reservation for. Maybe I’ll tweak that for clarity.

[Jeff_AZ]

Thank you! I try to make myself useful from time to time as I get so much from this forum!

[mkmuzzy]

Thanks. I think “for” helps in that way. I thought it was like you described (use your phone, be anywhere) but I wasn’t totally sure when you said “at.” I didn’t want people thinking you bought it from a CM at the ride (just one wild idea my brain got).

@mkmuzzy

“6. Off-site guests may purchase their first ILL upon entering their first park.”

Ok I just saw a contradicting statement on TP’s Instagram story. They said offsite guests could purchase an ILL when that park opens.

Anyone have a source that can break the tie?

[Jeff_AZ]

I added a couple of tips that I found from The Unofficial Guides Twitter (Seth Kubersky):

@Jeff_AZ

Lapsed Reservation You can reserve a new LL when the return window closes for a previous LL reservation (ie, it is considered “used”), but you can still use the lapsed LL in the 15-minute grace period.

@Jeff_AZ

Offsite Drops Additional inventory of ILL selections is dropped when offsite guests are eligible (at park opening). If you are an on-site guest and are unable to secure an ILL at your preferred time, try again right at park opening.

Thanks @Jeff_AZ!

Wow! When I’m teaching my employees how to audit, I remind them that nothing should be left in their brain and that everything they know should be included in the work papers. You had training as an auditor, didn’t you . This is so insanely helpful. Thank you for putting it all together.

[pixarprincess]

This is perfect!

@Jeff_AZ

Attraction Repeats You may NOT receive a repeat LL reservation for any attraction

Are you able to repeat an attraction on a different day? Does the repeat rule only apply on one single day?

[eug2506]

@Jeff_AZ

Thanks in advance!

No Jeff, thank YOU.

Two years ago you have started the thread on RotR boarding groups and this thread alone helped our family secure BG on each of the HS days.

And now all this data on G+ ! You are awesome!

[mikejs78]

Yes only single day.
