I do like that pre booking is back, but the lack of the 2 hour rule will make it awful and make it potentially less valuable. From what I understand, you will no longer be able to book another fast pass after two hours if an existing fast pass is for later…here is a a scenero.
Let’s say you prebook the following at magic kingdom.
- Big Thunder Mountain (gives you a return time of 11:00am)
- Haunted Mansion (gives you a return time of 10:00am)
- Pirates (gives you a return time of 9:00am)
Then at 9:00am you use your pirates
lightning lane and book a new lightning lane for Space Mountain. Space Mountain gives you a return time of 9:30pm. So basically at this point you can’t book any other lightning lanes for the rest of the day… unless you cancel your Space Mountain.
So it basically just seems like you can potentially get a lot less value for your dollar than you could with
genie+. With genie+ at least you could stack another lightning lane after 2 hours if you ended up a late one.
I kind of think this will end up being worse than Genie+
