Plan Ahead with Lightning Lane Entry at Walt Disney World Starting July 24

[Justrose]

Shoot - one more question for @Dave006 or anyone else If I want to buy LLSP as well as LLMP, and I am going to WDW during the busiest week of the year, what should I buy first to ensure I can get what we want?

What week do you think is the busiest of the year? How many days are you planning LLMP and/LLSP for and will you be on-site guests and able to book 7 days in advance?

The answers will help you and us determine some strategies.

December 29 - January 3
Onsite, one day at each park, no hoppers. We do have DAS but I want to make sure we are good especially on 12/31 at Epcot since it's my daughter's birthday.
Here's what our itinerary is:
12/30 - HS (probably getting LLMP)
12/31 - Epcot (LLMP and LLSP for GoG). My general idea for this day is to do the front of the park in the AM. We have a ressie for Le Cellier at 3:30, then do the countries after dinner into the evening.
1/1 - AK (not planning to get LLMP)
1/2 - MK (up in the air about LLMP)

From a technical standpoint it is not the busiest week of the year since your visit spans 2 years. Now to the serous stuff.

What are you must do attractions knowing that you can only get 1 Tier 1 and 2 Tier 2 attraction pre-selections?

HS - often harder than Epcot but you might want to focus on Epcot first due to your daughter's birthday.
Epcot - LLSP should be easy at this point but keep checking until Sunday.
AK - I would agree that no LLMP and/or LLSP should be required.
MK - still pending...

Hello! hoping for some advice with our Animal Kingdom & Epcot LLMP bookings

Our plan for AK is to rope drop Flight of Passage. We then have the following:
8:20 Na'vi River Journey
9:20 Kilimanjaro Safaris
11:20 DINOSAUR

I'm a bit worried the first two are potentially too tightly booked, given that I'm not confident how long it will take us to get on and off FOP. (We do have Early Entry but with my family I don't expect us to be near the front of the line ). In the same vein, because I already worry we might be tapping on late to Na'vi/Safari, and since Safari is such a long ride, I didn't want to book DINOSAUR too close - do y'all think there's time to move it slightly earlier though?

For Epcot, we have:
(rope drop Frozen)
Spaceship Earth 9:25
Remy 1pm
LWTL 5:10pm

There are still earlier times for Remy, but I wasn't sure if zipping from Norway back to the front of park, then to France, was a little too much for first thing in the morning, or if I should just live things as is and take more of a leisurely approach after we get off Spaceship Earth?

You should be fine at AK since each of your selections has an hour return window.

Thanks! would you leave DINOSAUR at 11:20 then?
I was thinking just in case we don't tap onto each of the previous rides until the end of the hour window (e.g. Na'vi closer to 9, Safari closer to 10 and then takes 30-40 minutes), so might be almost 11 anyways by the time we're able to head to DInoland.

I’d leave Dino because you’ve got til 12:20 to ride plus the 15 minute grace period where you’ll still be “green” when you tap in. I think you’re just fine.

Does the LLMP work up until park close?

Do you think the crowds will thin out tomorrow at MK from 9pm to 11pm? That was when I was hoping to ride Tron and a few others since I missed getting the LLSP.

 

[Dave006]

Does the LLMP work up until park close?

Yes your LLMP selections work until park close. It normally is quite busy at MK on Saturday when it is the last park open but tomorrow it is going to be quite cool. Between 9 - 11:30 it will be in the mid to low 50s. HS has a ticketed event so everyone else may be in MK.
