    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I sure hope so. In the FP+ days, there was a site that had a FP+ availability calendar (I can't recall which site) where you could see what selections were gone and when. It was one of the most useful things for planning out FP+ selections ahead of time so that you didn't waste time on booking...

    I think the possibly more interesting data will be what 7-day availability looks like in a week or two when long stays start to overlap the 7-day on-property booking window.

    So this would mean the return of the "throwaway" selection as a strategy.

    Seeing reports that the MDE app is prompting people to update to the latest version in order to use LL-MP/LL-SP. Edited to clarify: This is just rolling out the necessary app changes ahead of the launch on the 24th and trying to get people to update now, so it's less of a mess on Wed.

    I would never. 😏 It was joke in reference to a video Touring Plans did about rope drop where Len saw people rope-dropping Teacups as he was on his way to 7DMT, and he said, "You go, Mad Tea Partiers. Live your best life." 🤣

    Don't forget to account for the people rope-dropping the Teacups. 😏

    Exactly. They just scheduled "7 days before, for arrival dates starting 7/24" and either didn't consider or didn't know that LL-MP booking isn't active for anyone until the 24th. Either way it shouldn't have happened. They should have done a one-time email blast on the 24th for everyone with...

    Oof. Not good. :facepalm: I'm guessing the scheduled emails are handled by a different team than the LL devs because this is exactly the kind of thing that happens when multiple different teams work on different parts of a system and they don't properly coordinate or communicate requirements.

    Is that because of all the off-topic drama related to the really bad take that a restaurant that has princesses and hands out toy wands and swords to kids is "formal," or do you have some insider knowledge that more LL-MP information is incoming soon?

    The 24th needs to get here ASAP so we can all start to pick apart the details. I'm still curious to see if day-of LL-MP will be timeslots like pre-booking or first available like G+.

    Oh, right. They should take a page from the US playbook and throw tea from the ferry boats into Seven Seas Lagoon. 😏 This all seems to support the idea that the DAS changes were to allow more availability for LL-MP.

    Very true. So what aspect of Lightning Lane were we all upset about before things got sidetracked? 😏

    Exactly. I worry that they could start caring about it again at any time, though. Is it likely they will? Probably not; but for me, just the possibility they could is enough for me not to want to risk it regardless of the savings.

    I'm aware of what it is, and I don't believe you are correct. The "14-day Magic Ticket" (which is what AT and other third parties sell) is a specific ticket made available by Disney exclusively for UK and Ireland. Attraction Tickets don't sell Disney tickets on their US site; you have to switch...

    I think UK ticket offers are still "officially" for UK residents only, though. Because of that and the fact that the US version of the Attractions Tickets site doesn't show Disney tickets (I had to switch to the UK site to see WDW tickets), I have to think US customers aren't really supposed to...

    App purchases are sometimes more regulated than web purchases (because the people making the laws don't understand technology). There might also be restrictions from Google and Apple on international or cross-region in-app purchases that have nothing to do with government regulation and...

    Magic Band Selection

    Sorry if this is a little late, but you can also go to the Pin Traders store over by Earl of Sandwich. We've usually found they have the best MagicBand selection at Disney Springs, and it's much less crowded than World of Disney and things are easier to find.

    You need to sic the ice cream girl from Manchester on Disney. She'll let them know what's what.
