The Lightning Lane Thread! All WDW Info Here

After stressing all day (and still not done) about LL booking for tomorrow, I can unequivocally state that I want to pay per LL. As in I want every ride to be a fancy ride. Just let me pay for what I want please.

I think this is what I would prefer as well. I’m not sure what prices or availability would be like, but I have to imagine it would be better than LLMP.

We’re coming up on 2 years of LLMP so we probably have another year before they’ll have gotten their money’s worth out of that system. Genie+ was just shy of 3 years.

Not sure why you deleted your post. It was a worthwhile point. I think the response to your point is that WDW cares more about the average guest experience than the average Liner experience.

Busted… I deleted it because when I reread it, I sounded combative and argumentative, and I am a very non-confrontational type of person. I usually try to avoid conflict and/or offering my opinions in matters of debate. Thank you for being gracious about my deleted post…

Urgent question for tomorrow morning! If I want Star Tours at 9am and Slinky at 10am, which do I book first? Slinky?

2 Likes

Always book Slinky first. It will be the hardest to get.

You may not be able to get Star Tours at 9am, particularly if the available times overlap with Slinky. If that happens, finish booking Slinky, take whatever else you can get, then cancel / rebook Star Tours in BG1. Sometimes that helps overcome overlap issues.

Regardless, Slinky in the hand is worth two Star Tours in the bush, so to speak. :winking_face_with_tongue:

Definitely Slinky. MMRR was easy to get when we were there in January.

I only want Star Tours to be able to book MMRR. I am worried about the rider swap time suck and if it might impact our ability to unlock tiers if DS7 and my Dad don’t ride it.

I’m hoping for ST at 9am and then Slinky at 10/10:30 :crossed_fingers: I’m going to rope drop TSMM, then hit MFSR, then Star Tours and then circle back to Rise and Slinky.

I’ll book Slinky first and see where that lands. :crossed_fingers:

Book it for 10:30 to maximize your chance of getting a 9am ST.

My concern is that it will essentially be much more expensive. I paid the large ticket plus express pass cost for Epic, and it made Disney cost seem like a bargain, even with ticket, LLMP, and LLSP total. Disney might think they are leaving $$$ on table.

This is the one constant with WDW so, yes, it will most likely be more expensive. Even with the current system, the LL prices have been steadily increasing.

Haha wait I thought you were looking for MK on the 18th! :scream:

I hate to say this out loud but the amount of people willing to pay doesn’t seem to be going down? They don’t seem to have reached price resistance with LLs yet. Hotel rooms and ticket prices, maybe? Given the summer discount situation… but even the premier pass, which makes express pass look cheap, sells out!

Never was. First park will not use LLMP - was always going to be second park. Have decided second park will be HS … and my timing is ahem similar to yours (but maybe that means a hello on the way by!)

I think that’s true.

What I also think they are seeing, though, is a shift from doing other things, like a moderate or deluxe hotel to value, or TS To QS. Which suggests that people have reached an overall limit and are just using those dollars differently (LLMP) because they know it can make an actual difference in their attractions-based assessment of success. [We all know that trips are more than attractions, but that’s not true for everyone]

Ok what a way to start a morning! I couldn’t find a way to go back and get Star Tours in MDE!! It kept taking me to today. Thank goodness for BG1.

Animal Kingdom on the 20th gave me more agita as it kept saying I overlapped when I in fact did NOT overlap!
