We bought multi-pass and single-pass LL’s 7 days before our September 7th trip. We got up and did it at the earliest hour. We were able to get everything we had on our list. During the following week I was able to move some of them closer together than the original one hour separation it did when we scheduled. By going at 9 a.m. everyday and having them scheduled that early, we were able to book other Tier 1 rides for most that we wanted still. If you want to be able to book more Tier 1 riders after your first three rides, I do recommend getting the park by 9 a.m. By knowing some potential drop times, we were able to get a few Tier 1’s in afternoon drops but we got most just by going early.

Note: I’m going to update the lead post for the new Premier pass. But I’m going to wait until we get more information.

Ok never mind, I went ahead and added it now. Take a read and let me know if you have any questions or would recommend any further detail!

Thanks for that @Jeff_AZ
I didn’t realise you were limited to one park a day.
Or that it was 7 days before the day of the LLPP.

I think you are incorrect about purchasing the Premier Pass. According to WDW’s FAQs you can purchase for length of stay.
Eligible Guests can purchase Lightning Lane Premier Passes for their entire length of stay (up to 14 days).
Also I couldn’t see anything go that limits you to one per day either.

I booked our LLMPs this morning and wow I have so many questions. Where do I even start…
-
How likely is it that I’ll find earlier times for some MPs? For example–I could only find a 3:30pm booking for TSM; we probably won’t be in the park then… What’s my strategy for modifying?
-
What are the strategies for getting around the M-F’ing “you can’t book this because you have overlapping reservations”???
Sigh. This makes me miss the FastPass days even more…

- I would check once in a while when you have time.,If you really don’t think you’ll be there at that time, maybe consider changing the ride to something you’ll want to do at a better time.

Once you tap into your first one of the day, the restrictions are lifted.

That would make a lot more sense. The way it was described in the sources I read was not clear. I’ll confirm and then update. Thanks!

So, I am in the parks and have LL purchased for all my days. But I keep running into a problem where it will show an “earliest time available” at I time I want like 1130 but then when I click on it, it changes the time to later in the day and when I got to modify it, none of the earlier times are there. Any help would be appreciated!

Could it be a party size or attraction overlap issue?

Another issue: is any member of your party an AP holder and do you have park reservations? Sometimes not having an APR prevents someone from booking before 2pm.
Otherwise it could be due to a conflict in your plans or a party size that is larger than the number of available LLs.
The other thing you could try is cancelling and rebooking rather than modifying. Sometimes there’s just a bug that makes modifying to an earlier time impossible.

Important update from Thrill Data:
Today was the first day of Premier Pass at Disneyland, and it had no obvious effect. It was still available to purchase as of 3pm PST. Also he says there is nothing of note in “availability data.”
There’s no guarantee the pattern will hold for Florida, but I’m optimistic it won’t be too far off.

It is good for use in both parks and attraction wise you would have access to about the same amount of attractions if you bought all 4 parks in WDW?

That’s right. It’s a very good “deal,” but very expensive ($400 flat daily rate), which I suspect cancels each other out.

Yes, but 4 parks at WDW would be $1100-1200 during the cheapest trip?

Yes. But I’m not sure what point you are trying to make?
So few people buy LLs there that it’s hard to imagine there is a market for this expensive pass. I did see many plaids doing VIP tours Sun/Mon though.
For $27 on Sunday I could have ridden every ride with LL in both parks. I chose not to ride some but it was easy to do everything I wanted from 10:30am-10:30pm with multipass. No way I would pay $400 for what I can do with $27.

That’s my position as well.
