Lot of questions about booking, park hopping, new bookings, etc. Thought maybe, after my research, laying out my tentative plans for our first two days in our upcoming (August) trip might give folk a sense of what can be done in a couple different scenarios?
Of course assuming as a Canadian I can purchase in advance, I will get the Multi-Pass as well as buy some Single LLs (ILL as they used to be called). So:
DAY ONE: MK in the morning, DHS in the afternoon
In advance - purchase Single LL for Tron for the morning, RotR in the afternoon, and LL selections for DHS in the afternoon (for example, SDD, ToT, TSMM)
Day of: Try for VQ for Tron at 7AM. Rope drop MK, use standby lines, have lunch, etc. Head over to DHS in the afternoon. After tapping in for first pre-booked LL make another selection, and so on. Based on experience in the evening there with
Genie+ there are usually spots available for many rides (with re-rides unfortunately no longer an option). My one question is, which I haven't seen a definitive answer to, is do the tiers go away day of? I thought I saw they do, which makes sense? That is, once you are allowed to make another selection, it can be any ride at any park. Hope that's true.
DAY TWO: DHS in the morning, EPCOT in the afternoon
In advance - purchase Single LL for RotR for the morning, GotG in the afternoon, and LL selections for DHS in morning
Day of: Try for VQ for GotG at 7AM, hopefully for a boarding time later in the day. Do DHS in the morning and after tapping in first LL look to book rides in EPCOT for later in the day, and start stacking them as we use our pre-books.
I get to those unfamiliar with the Disney systems the above may seem stressful and convoluted. It isn't, really, and of course some of what we'll be doing is not necessary to avoid many lines, and have an enjoyable time.
