Also worth noting that if you’re ok having an afternoon / evening LLSP, you should be fine. The reason LLMP is such a rush is because you have to unlock tiers by having a morning return time.

I agree. Two days from now Thrill Data shows you can get it evening only. It is not sold out today and tomorrow.

I think if you can split all of these up, you will have the best luck, but maybe have someone else do the GOTG first?

This tracks what everyone is saying, and gives a little more detail:

Thanks for sharing this! I have to say I’m not a fan of the high stakes game to get LLs at 7 days out. Wish there was a better way … that didn’t involve paying more. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::rofl:

You are the bearer of bad news my friend. That said, this is helpful.

That does say that even at busy times, you can book it 7 days out?

Yes- Jeff clarified that it was morning times that booked up at 10, but that you could still book later in the day. That was the nuance I missed in my first post.

Agreed. I mean, I will rearrange my wntire schedule for GOTG, but I know that doesn’t mean everyone is like that :joy:

Is there a way to check how much LLMP and LLSP cost for a particular day for a particular park?
I am particularly looking for Epcot on 8/5.
I don’t want to do it, but I might. There are so many things at Epcot I don’t care to do, but according to my TP I will be hard pressed to fit it all in.

Thrill data keeps all that data. The easiest way to find it is to google “Thrill Data cost of LLSP guardians” or whatever.

Huh - ok - does $18 pp sound right? I was thinking it would be much higher.

That sounds about right for LLSP. LLMP is the one that is ~$35.

That’s more like MK cost for LLMP. EP cost for LLMP is lower.

Here is the thrill data link for EP LLMP cost. Looks like average LLMP cost at EP is $20 pp and thrill data projects (not a guaranty) August 5 at $17 pp.

You should be able to look up LLSP for GotG too.

Edit to add: A google search shows an average cost at EP for LLMP of $23 pp.

But is that for past dates? I know you can find that on TP’s site of CL for past dates (it has cost data). I think for future dates you can only see about 21 days out (14 days of booking starting 7 days from now). Future costs can be surprises.

ETA: Ah, now I see the link to Thrill Data’s info. I’ve never ventured there.

Thank you.

This is where I was getting my guessed amount:

Hmmmm - I can probably afford LLMP for the three of us for our Epcot day.
Can you please correct/confirm my understanding.

If my WDW stay starts on 8/4, I will be able to purchase and make selections for my 8/5 Epcot day on 7/28?
I can make one selection for tier one and two other selections.
I should try to get a low level selection for ASAP to “unlock” more tier ones.

So I should try for either FEA or Remy, then grab like SE for park open and, say, Mission Space.

I could then RD GOTG, then go tap into SSE to “unlock” my tier ones.
But, truly, would there be any chance for same day Remy/FEA? Will I only really be able to pick up Soarin? Do we not really have enough data yet?

That looks right to me (7 days before your check-in date).

I agree with both of the above.

Yes. Caveats: (1) If TT is reopened, then you may want TT over FEA/Remy. (2) You may not be able to get SE for 9:00 am at your booking date so if it’s later than 9:45 am, I’d consider checking Nemo (farther walk from GotG so need to balance the tap in time with that).

It’s tough but …

How many people in your party for this trip (I can’t remember who is joining you for this one)? Remy has a LL drop most days (see the thread on LL drops), but you can only book for a party of up to 3 at one time on the Remy drop so if you have more than 3 for this trip, then you would need to book multiple groups at the drop. These drops typically go quickly so there is a risk that you don’t get it at all or only get it for one group of 3.

There are not currently LL drops for FEA so same day availability would typically only be from someone else cancelling their FEA LL.

That said, there are days where FEA and rarely Remy don’t sell out in advance and have some morning availability. thrilldgata.com is a good place to check for this too. See the chart on the right hand side of this page for recent EP LL sell out information.

The price is posted in MDE 22 days in advance. If you touch Purchase, you can look at all the prices.

Remy has a single rider line and a drop so I’d pick FEA over Remy. TT will also have single rider if it’s open.

I personally never buy LLMP for Epcot. I’d rather pay for Guardians single pass. I’ve always been able to rope drop Remy from IG, then hit Frozen, Soarin, and SE by 10:30.

TT is one of my favorite rides, but I don’t think it will be back open by 8/4. I hope I am wrong.

excellent - Thank you for this!
Could one person scoot with three cards (or MBs) while others went to the bathroom or got coffee, etc., correct, or no way.

Just me, Marie and Tabitha are on this trip. So three would be good. It looks like I might be able to grab one at the drop time for Remy if I could get the FEA prior.

I have been looking at TD this afternoon. I hadn’t seen where they hadn’t sold out, but I don’t really have command of the website yet.
Thank you SO much for looking at this with me.

Thank you! I did not note this.

Again - I did not know this! I am a Very Bad Liner.

I hear what you are saying. I don’t want to buy LMNOP at all. But we have just one day at Epcot and one evening at an After Hours party.

DD19 hasn’t been to Epcot since 2019, so I want her to do Remy and GOTG for sure. I may buy a GOTG AND RD it, because it is such a cool ride.
I actually don’t mind waiting in a line or two in a full day, and I am not excited about using LL, but I want to be sure we do all of these rides bc I don’t know when my older girls will be back.

This is VERY intriguing. BUT - it would be such a hassle for me to RD from IG. We will be at All Stars.
