Rob, thank you for running these experiments. This bodes very well for my upcoming trip where I'm planning to do early entry and a few lightning lanes in the mornings, and head back to our resort where I'll book our afternoon/evening lightning lanes while the kids nap. One thing I was worried about was having to know 7 days ahead of time which parks and attractions we'll want, but this strategy would give us the opportunity to be more spontaneous for our afternoons and evenings.

As of now, it’s been pretty easy to change up your plans on the day of your visit without sacrificing the rides you want to do - it just might require some patience depending on the day. Hopefully this will still be true during the busiest days during the holiday season. 🤞 Thanks for watching! 😃

@@EarScouts we'll be going at the end of January, so hopefully the crowds will be light (though I understand from your videos that there's no rhyme or reason to crowd levels lately). I do anticipate spending a good chunk of time modifying lightning lanes for the afternoon, but I'm hoping I can do that while the kids nap. Although this will be an hour or two later than when you were running experiment 3, so we'll have to see how it works out.

We dismayed when Genie Plus switched to Multi Pass just before our trip because we were looking forward to being spontaneous each day. The new system forced us to plan our first parks of each day 7 days in advance. But we were able to be flexible with the second half of our days when we were there. I also found that it was extremely difficult to modify the LL's booked 7 days out to better times before entering the parks. Also the Multi Pass system will force you not to overlap plans much when booking ahead of time. Once I was tapped into the park, it became easier to modify to better times and overlap LL's better. Good luck and enjoy your trip!

If you followed Rob’s tricks for Genie+ this new system will be so easy. Honestly, I like it more as you always have 3 rides booked all the time. Yes, sometimes a Tier 1 is not available BUT if you play the slot is very very probably that you will get. I spent 1 full week at WDW and we rode all that we wanted to and we park hopped 2 times and got the tier 1 in the other park. Thanks Rob and Erick for your amazing work ❤

Really appreciate your videos. Very helpful for my recent trip. I’ll say a few things I learned when I went last Monday. I bought Multi Lightning Lane for Magic Kingdom first BUT also a Single LL to ride Guardians which is in EPCOT. My worry was that bc I bought the multi for Magic Kingdom I might have issues with getting into Guardians (which was my first ride of the day but a different park) but I was able to get in. Once I got to Magic Kingdom later and rode Tiana’s Bayou, I was able to add other rides to my multi LL. The only hiccups I had was later in the day. I was attempting to book Tower of Terror and finally saw an opening but I had used up all 3 of my LL slots (one for Mickey RR and the other for Smugglers Run). I didn’t really care about the later so I tried to cancel it but for some reason it kept defaulting back to Mickey and ended up canceling that reservation instead 😢 lucky it wasn’t a super busy day and I told the ride cast members my LL was accidentally cancelled (which they said I wasn’t the only one this happened to) and they let me on for the time I had booked. Overall, I think with my LL (multi and single) I was able to book 9 rides and at most waited on line for only 3 rides for my one day in the parks. Again thanks for all the advice. It definitely helps when you’re planning only one day and trying to maximize what you can ride.

Having just come back from a vacation to Disney and using the LLMP, and then going over to Universal where we had the Express Pass, I much prefer Universal's approach. I can go on almost any ride, as many times as a like, whenever I want and use their express pass lanes. I don't need to be on my phone constantly, I didn't need to book ahead of time, I didn't need to get up early, I didn't have to worry about the ride "running out of time slots", it was all just there for me to use and it WAS SIMPLE. Granted I only go to the Orlando area once every 5-10 years, but the difference in approaches was stark, and one was the clear winner over the other, IMO.
@JenniferFleming-qz7eq

Disagree. I'd much rather spend $20-25 than $150+ and just spend a bit of time learning the system in exchange for saving over $100 per person.

​@@JenniferFleming-qz7eq I think if I lived closer to Orlando (I live in Western Canada), I could see a bigger benefit to the LLMP. As someone coming in from out of country once every 10 years, I don't have a lot of time to learn the nuances of the system. I'm willing to pay more for it to be *easy*.

Had a big park hopping day planned for that first weekend. AK, Epcot, and MK. I booked my three for Epcot, and my first was a “throwaway” (9am pixarfest). We tapped in at AK at 8, and at 10 I tried to book at MK. It wouldn’t let me. I kept trying and it didn’t let me book until we tapped in for an Epcot LL. I was really hoping that I had thought of a “hack” 😂. Still had a great day and used LL for 6 rides that day!

Great video, great experiments! We just got home from our trip (we had hoped to run into you to say hi, but it didn't happen). Your tips were very helpful! We found that playing the slots to get a better time or a better ride took much longer than in the Genie Plus days for the popular rides, as you found for Slinky Dog. We also were not aware that you could not use someone else's Magic Band to ride a ride in their place. We booked Cosmic Rewind for 3 of us and our friend backed out of riding it because it gave her motion sickness. So I took her band, rode it, then immediately rode it again with my band. Oops! If that happens to us again, we will go through guest services. Don't want to get thrown out of the parks! We found that we could get pretty much every ride we wanted on Multi Pass as the day went on, although it was much harder later in the day and playing the slots took much longer. I fear people are going to complain a lot about having to spend more time on their phones than they did in the Genie Plus days to get LL's for rides that show as out of them, but it's still early in the day.

Oh my gosh! Good to know you shouldn’t use someone else’s lightning lane! My son doesn’t like Rock n’roller , i thought there would be no harm in my husband riding twice using my son’s band😬 . I would never think of sharing a magic band to enter the park , but to use a lightning lane , I figured 3 are reserved , 3 are going in, no abuse there. I’m a by-the-book person, thanks for preventing me from breaking the rules ❤

I was running late to make my first lightning lane for Dinosaur. I was doing my brisk power walk through security and crowds. I made it maybe 4 to 6 minutes after my time expired. The cast member was busy talking to a guest, but the scanner lit up green when i placed my pass on it, soooo I'm guessing maybe there's a grace period if you're running late (i imagine its 5 to 10 minutes. Cant possibly be longer right?) I was hoping to avoid any kind of "its just 5 minutes" convo, hah. But it was fine.

Hey, Rob I always thought the grace period for genie+ , fastpass, multipass, etc. Was 5 min before and 15 minutes after. I am surprised to see the light still turn green for you at the safari in this video. How far back are you aware that the grace period changed from 15 min to 20 min, I'm curious about this.

With genie + everyone has the same opportunity to book rides. Resort guest get in 30 mins and in some places 1hr before everyone else plus they get to stay late on certain nights. I think Disney really slapped the locals who keep them busy when tourist don’t come in the face

Next year will be my first time buying any sort of lightning lane. When I go to purchase, can I add in the rest of my party so we buy the pass for everyone, or does each member of my party have to buy it? Trying to sort everything out before we go!

I have a question about the last section of the video when at Yacht Club. How do you go around the tier system rule? I thought that you could only choose 1 tier one and 2 tier two’s for the start of your day in a park? It appeared to me that Rob stayed at the resort all day and scheduled 3 LL’s for MK later in the day and all three of his choices were Tier 1. How did that work?

It looked like he had already been to Epcot & used his 1st LL on Remy...after using your 1st LL the tiers don't matter anymore.

Thank you rob!!! Thanks for all your hard work. I’m curious about large parties (10 😳) but also, within a party can there be some rides booked the same and some not?

Hi Rachel - we haven’t tried large parties with this system yet, but my guess is that it will be similar to Genie Plus. You might try checking some of the WDW forums and Facebook groups to see if anyone has reported their experience with a larger group. Thanks for watching! 😃

So you can park hop to more than 2 parks a day? Do you have to wait until a certain time now?

Could you maybe book another ride at AK after your first expires (rather than another park)? The other vlogger --Tim Tracker --booked a new ride in the park he was is (MK)... Somehow while even outside the park.

Hi there! Do you have to book each experience for every person in your party? Or can you split a group into two, or even add people in later in the day?

Hi Rob - Question, what happens when the reserved window passes for the ride, can the party members that did not tap in, then be added to future group ride reservations?

Could it be the expiration didn't work because you're in AK, which doesn't have ride tiers?

It’s why he checked another park, if it opens up to other ride tiers it’s going to be available in other parks too. Basically, they want you tapping in your first ride no matter what before adding a new ride whether thats tier 1 or 2 or in a different park

The lightning lanes in other parks not showing up seems like a bug - if there's a way to put in a bug report for the app then it might be helpful to do that

Is it better to keep a big group together or split into two separate groups? I remember you said groups of 4 or more for Genie+ was difficult to get times. I was wondering if this system works the same way

I wonder, say we had a park reservation and LL scheduled for a day and want to change our park reservation? Do we loose LL or able to modify.
