Then what's the point of giving the 7 day jump for people staying on-site and a 3 day jump for people staying off the site if we can make modifications on the day of at 7 AM? I thought the whole point to this change was to allow people to preplan so they didn't have to do it the day of.
So that you haven't got do do anything at all at 7am on the day if you're still happy with your pre-planned selections?
Or, just a thought, you could just book Space and Peter Pan in the first place so you don't have to do anything at all at 7am on the day? Why would you pre-book something that you're not intending to go on?
Not if they are both Tier 1's. You're only allowed one Tier 1 selection at pre-booking.
We're talking about the tiered fast passes with the pre-planning. When you preplan you'll only be able to grab one from tier 1 and 2 from tier 2. So rides like space mountain and thunder mnt you will not be able to pre-book together on the same day
Because you can't book Space and Peter Pan ahead of time as they are both T1.
Oh, I see, thanks. Well, that sucks.
I'll be curious to see how many Tier 1's are left at 7am the day of or throughout the day. Some will rope drop tier 1's as well so booking them won't be necessary
I would expect the people who rope drop will be up around 7am anyway so they might as well alter their two T2 rides to 2 T1 rides. If they schedule them all for mid morning they could get in as soon as park open, ride a bunch of stuff with short lines and then hit the 3 T1 reservations in a row. As soon as they scan into the first one, grab whatever T1 is left and so on until they are all gone.
It strikes me that MultiPass is some sort of hybrid between FP+ and G+ with certain aspects of each were retained because it was just easier to program it that way in order to be able to roll it out quickly. My guess is that this loophole will get closed rather quickly and the end result will be more like FP+ (use all 3 before you can book another T1).
there is always going to be a problem with a "fastpass" system until they add more attractions
Yes, but some are better than others. This it worse then FP+ and G+ on paper. We'll see how it works soon enough but I don't have high hopes.
Oh, I believe that the blending of the two programs is intentional. I don't believe that they intend to allow "day of" modifications of T2 to T1 selections in the long run. That's a surefire way for power users to suck up all of the T1 selections early in the day. They just haven't worked out the coding to prevent it yet.
This may result in international guests starting their vacations at Universal. Does Disney really want that? As soon as that narrative starts making it out there I would imagine Disney changes course and/or "fixes" the issue.Disney World Lightning Lane Passes Will Only Be Available for Purchase in the United States

The impression I got was you would be eligible to make a selection in a different park once you've checked into a park and either used or swapped out of one of the advanced selections. It's possible that checking into a park isn't even the requirement for swapping out. It may be that at 7 AM on the day of, the tiers don't matter.
I don't think it's worse personally...but we'll see. Pros and cons of each, but I think the pre-planning part will be a hit vs the lottery day of game
