While compiling some information to send to my BIL, I noticed a couple trends in the Thrill Data availability charts that warranted some updates to my Order of Priority rankings. Specifically, FEA has been consistently selling out ahead of Remy in EP. Also Winnie the Pooh is once again consistently selling out ahead of Buzz. So it appears the novelty of the change has worn off a little. Big Thunder is still selling out ahead of all other Tier 1s in MK though.

And with that I will tip toe out of this room and head over to the uncensored thread …

I have been out of the loop in all the ride data for so many months now. Is it weird that seeing this latest LL priority chart makes me “kinda caught up” in the park changes?! Love it.

Not weird! Glad I could help!

I wonder if this is a capacity thing more than a popularity thing? Or am I just not a big enough Pooh fan??

It’s always a combination but since Buzz was selling out faster for a while, but now it isn’t, there has been a relative change in popularity away from Buzz.

Main Question (TLDR): Would y’all get LLMP for Magic Kingdom on a CL2 non-party day? Cost is $25. Date is mid-September. Will use ETPE inshaAllah.
Extra Details: I planned to buy LLMP one day each at MK & DHS and then LLSPs for Guardians & FOP. I’ve mocked up two custom touring plans for the MK CL2 day, one with LLMP and one without. The difference between the two for the “In Line” column is just 41 minutes.
This trip I’m going by myself, so the cost isn’t being multiplied, but still, I’m not at a point I’d like to pay $25 to save 41 minutes (split over multiple attractions). However, I have a hard time believing the low wait times that my TP estimates for the popular rides, even if I get there for ETPE, and I don’t want to be kicking myself if wait times end up much longer than estimated, which has happened to me before.
It looks like it happened today too, when I checked 7DMT here. Observed wait times were nearly always higher than predicted:
Note: I also have a second, shorter day planned at MK later that week when it’s a CL1 party day (closing at 6pm). I figured I’d do Tron standby that day and anything else I want to repeat.

Short answer: I always buy LLMP cause I think even 20+ minutes saved is worth the price and I can often save more than that. But it is not necessary depending on what your priorities are.
You will get the most bang for your buck if you plan to ride Space, Peter Pan, JC, Tiana, and BTMRR. And you will need to be strategic to hit all these the same day with a combination of RD and LL.
If you’re not riding these headliners or are only going to hit 1-2 of them, you should probably skip LL and just RD them instead. Get a LLSP for Tron and 7DMT if you plan to ride those.

I’ve had good luck with crowds on party days. But I still agree with @Jeff_AZ, I’ve always gotten LLMP at MK (especially when I’m by myself, since the cost is much easier to swallow than when buying for a whole family).
I’d get it for your first day and make sure I do all headliners/longer-wait attractions at least once then (if the crowds are super low you can re-ride your favorites!) And skip it for the partial day when I’d take it slow with shows/low-wait rides/eating/wandering around just enjoying.

It’s really about your line tolerance. We don’t want to wait at all. The weather is still brutal in September so I would opt for it. Waiting in line in that heat and humidity is rough.

Yes, I remember waiting 35 minutes standby for Jungle Cruise last year in the same week mid-September, and it was sweltering in that outdoor queue, even though it was under the shade.
Thank you everybody! I appreciate you reading and answering. Sounds like I should get it!

There’s no way, lol. Sorry. JC is fun and all but half the time I can’t even understand the skipper because of the bad speaker system.
