Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

I see that now... my bad.

Why don't they just call it fastpass (for multi rides) and individual lightning lane (for the single ride purchases) - or does that make too much sense?
I imagine they want the flexibility to slide things in and out of the different tiers. When Tron comes off VQ, maybe Mine Train slides off of ILL and over to Multi-LL, but the "Lightning Lane" verbiage will still apply in either case.

This is a fantastic change for power users.

You can book #1, #2, #3 at 7 days out. Pick all early return times if possible.

Then you essentially have three tracks of use/rebook. Assuming you can tinker with return times and refreshing.

Book SDD, ToT, Star Tours as early as possible (assuming you get there at park open). Rope drop something. Get into any attraction ASAP and attempt to book another Tier 1 attraction if available.

When this was originally talked about, it was looking as though you would be able to book some in advance, and then continue with the current method of getting them at 7 o'clock onwards, but it looks as though this is no longer the case.

Do we know whether, if you don't book in advance, you could continue to stack with the current method (although with less of a choice as slots would have been taken by others in advance), or would you just be able to book the 3 on the day, and nothing else until you start to use?

Will you have to burn Tier 1 to book another Tier 1? Or could you ride a 9am Tier 2 and then same-day the tiers disappear and you can book whatever you want as your number 4?

I was literally thinking the exact same thing.

Anyone have the link to the thread explaining all the reasons the Universal system would not work at Disney? (I am sure there must be one.)

Just got back from a Universal trip. Specifically because our last Disney trip felt like it required to much work to vacation and we had never been to Harry Potter at all. Express Pass Unlimited was wonderful. (Universal also felt, and I assume is, significantly smaller than Disney.)

I'm sure the Disney system will change again before we plan our next trip anyway.
People complain about $20-$35 per person each day, you think $120-$320 per person will fly at Disney? If you mean just including it with Deluxe, they have too many. Uni just has the three and hasn't added a deluxe that includes EP for over 20 years at this point. They might add one with the new park but even that is up in the air last I looked.

It isn't a great system, and just got worse today in my mind, but Disney decided to offer a lesser skip the line system so more people would have a chance to use it and it is priced more in line with that reality.
