    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    No insider information, but I worked on a similar guest facing value at a different company where we deliberately "lied" to our customers about a value. So, I have some theories: For why it doesn't update more often people don't want to get in line, just to see the wait time drop 2 mins after...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Disney almost certainly knows the actual wait times of rides and chooses to show a different wait time on the app/boards. If anyone thinks that Disney doesn't have a pretty accurate count of the amount of people in standby line and LL line, the current throughput of the ride, and the expected...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    How about no one be rude to each other at Disney World? Sorry if you've had bad integrations in the past, but that doesn't give anyone a right to be rude back to the CMs. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind and all that.

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I know there were a lot of high tensions in this thread, but just an FYI these are probably the accommodations you may get offered at each ride: It is important to note you will have no control what is offered to you from this list, so prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Also never...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Completely anecdotal, but my son (not autistic as far as we know) at around 19 months at least learned the concept of patience and waiting. Before that if he asked for water/milk and we took his cup away he would freak out screaming. Now he seems to understand that we need to take it away, go to...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I mean if you want to squabble over "average" vs upper end. Over the next 28 days: 3 days are $27, 4 days are $29, 15 days are $32, and 6 days are $35. Giving an average price of $31.68 Everyone's situation is different. I personally have a toddler where even a 20 min line is probably a no go...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I think $32 is "average" pricing now for MK. Also lines always pick up after ~11am LLMP rides: 45: Pan (3:10pm) 35: Jungle Cruise (sold out) 30: Space (11:30am), Haunted Mansion (4:20pm) 25: Big Thunder (12:10pm) Whether or not LLMP is for you is certainly debatable, but in theory you could buy...

    Why do you say it's peak pricing at $32?

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Disney knows how long the wait will be pretty accurately (assuming the ride doesn't break down). It's really not a hard calculation if you know all the variables. -If the line is within the "official" line cameras can easily track how many people have entered/exited(ridden) the standby line -If...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I was curious how well disney was predicting crowd size and pricing LLMP accordingly. The answer is they are not great at it. I would have expected a pretty neat trendline. Even with adding a 2nd level Polynomial trendline, I get an R^2 value of 0.069

    Price hike coming 10/9

    $0.10 toilets and $20 umbrellas in the rain are the easiest way to beat Rollercoaster tycoon! Sorry 0.0043 BSC toilets and 0.87 BSC Umbrellas in the rain are the easiest way to beat Rollercoaster tycoon!

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I was curious how well the LLMP price matched up with the Daily average wait time via thrill data for the past month... Not well at MK

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    He didn't really show any specific math, but here is what I gathered. He assumed a LLMP rough estimated price of $27 and a LLPP rough estimated price of $289. His assumption was that Disney could make the same amount of money they stopped selling LLMP and only sold LLPP to ~9.3% of the current...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Nope LLMP will be purchased for the entire family for all the parks (maybe not AK this year due to the 18-month-old only have 2 rides on it though). I also never stay more than 4 days due to the law of diminishing returns, half a week at WDW, half a week at the beach for me. Not planning on...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Counter point. We are taking my 21-month-old soon. He has 0 concept of when he can or can't have a meltdown. Also my "worst" Disney trip was October 2020 right before G+ started and it was standby only. I have no desire to wait more than 30 mins for any attraction as a grown adult.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Hopefully that one would be super limited... Poor little 1000pph Pan really can't take many people re-riding it all day. Some more restricts they could do: All rides can only be ridden X times All tier 1 rides can only be ridden X times All LLSP rides can only be ridden X times A cooldown...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Or does it let you ride rides more than once? Like Express Unlimited Multi Premier might be the most confusing name considering it will won't be a combo of Multipass and Premier Pass (I assume)

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Ahh sorry I mis-understood. Yes, the costs associated with it used to be absorbed through other things (like ticket/resort prices), but is now unbundled.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    There are some extra costs (way more profit of course). -At least 2 extra cast members (1 at touch point, 1 at merge) -When building rides, the physical infrastructure to make a second line -The SW cost of implementing changes to the app -The server expense of running it -Extra IT when...
