Lightning Lane Premier Pass

[Tigger&Pooh]

How would the following be handled...

I purchase a Premier Pass for Epcot and a Lightning Lane Single Pass for Guardians. The single pass is for 9am-10am. I enter the lightning lane for Guardians at 9am. Which pass will be used?

I'd hope the single pass leaving the premier pass usable at any time the rest of the day.

The prevailing suggestion is to make sure you use the LLSP within the stated window (9am-10am in your example). Don't rely on any "grace period" before or after because it may take the PP at that point.

Can't guarantee it. However, in the past Disney has always "used up" the most restricted valid pass when tapping in. For instance if you were holding both a ME pass and a LLMP for an attraction, the system would automatically use the LLMP. I assume it would work the same way for LLPP, but might be worth asking before tapping in.

Back in the days of Genie+ if you had an ME pass and a later Genie+ time reserved for the ride it would pull the Genie+ reservation, even if you were HOURS early for it. And if that was your most recently booked reservation you could immediately book another.

And if your ME pass was also valid at that next attraction - wash, rinse, repeat.

I don’t think they can do anything to create enough demand for PP to become a mainstream product, it kind of reminds me of the Star Wars hotel, no matter how cool they make it there’s simply not enough people who can afford/justify paying the high price to make it anything more than a niche product for the rich.

What if they announced it was going away at the end of the year?

We don’t know what “sold out” means for LLPP…hundreds, tens, or 5

They could be playing a game. The more they show this new offering as sold out, it can make some feel like they need to consider purchasing it on their trip if others are doing it.

And in increasing demand, they can continue to raise the price.

Of course, the logical conclusion is that at some point, the only people who'll be able to afford it are the ones who were sitting in the second row of the inauguration a couple weeks ago.

On the plus side, with their interest, we might see that Stich space revitalized into a modern version of Mission to Mars after a sponsorship bidding war between SpaceX and Blue Origin... with VR and a social media aspect, of course.
