Booking Lightning Lane Multi Pass at 7 days out with MEP and Guest Passes - any experiences?

[meggiebeth]

Hi all!
I would like to book Lightning Lanes 7 days ahead for my upcoming trip - we are staying onsite and I know that it is not currently possible to book LLs for guest passes at the 7 day mark. I see that guidance is that cast should book LLs for themselves at 7 days ahead and then try and coordinate guest pass LLs at 3 days ahead. I am concerned about this as during my last trip, it would have been impossible to get the same rides/times at the 3 day mark for guest passes. Has anyone managed to make this work?

I have been told by cast to try and coordinate as best I can and then speak to the cast at the umbrellas in the parks to see if they can modify the times manually. Is this actually a thing, or something that people have had success with? I don’t want to risk paying for LLs only to not be able to coordinate them.

I really don’t want to have to use comp tickets in lieu of guest passes simply to be able to book LLs at 7 days ahead, but equally, I don’t want to risk waiting until three days ahead and not get the rides we need.

I never heard of this, my last trip we just booked at 3 days but nothing was really left except in afternoon when we usually take our break to rest. Again, we are a group of 4, with only one person on a guest pass.
