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

Agreed. Also, my phone's battery doesn't care if I'm in line, sitting at a table for lunch, or walking around the park.Well yeah, but it's just more mental bandwidth you have to deal with. It never "gets in the way" of anything where you have to stop doing something. But it takes up space in your brain as something else to keep track of.
I'm a project manager in real life, I want to go on vacation too.

This makes me appreciate the Disneyland system even more now. It was very easy on our trip last month, availability galore, getting lots of rides booked throughout the day.

Only if you:
1. Are going to be in a park with a ride on VQ,
2. Want to rude the ride that uses VQ, AND
3. Chose not to buy the LLSP option for that ride during your advance booking window.

DIS will sell you a power bank to charge up.

Yes here https://www.wdwmagic.com/other/disn...ing-lane-system-price-trends-and-insights.htm
I will have an easier to use system in the coming days.

They certainly will, that is true. But I prefer not having to bring or buy a power bank. For me, less time on my phone is better, so this system seems better to me. Others didn't care about being on their phones with G+, which is certainly fine.
Soooo... we're back to FP+ that you now have to pay for, plus you have the option now to also pay for a spot in line. And this is seen as acceptable by many.

It might be a generational thing. I don't mind being on my phone to reduce my wait times, and to maximize how many attractions I can experience. Hell, I will LL Figment and the line is 5 min or less.

So a ticket for MK is now $169 (depending on the day) but if you want the same access you had in 2019 with FP+ you also need LLMP ($29), an ILL for Seven Dwarfs ($11), and an ILL for Tron ($20).
$229 just to get the same experience you got for $129 in 2019, they've nearly doubled the price in less than 5 years, this management team is absolute garbage.

Awesome! Thanks! This may be what you're talking about with easier to use system but one suggestion is to have an additional section that lists each option with all days to quickly identify the cheapest and most expensive days to purchase. Or just an expansive chart.

1:15pm update of sold out attractions*:
MK: Tiana, Pooh, Space, Pirates, Jungle Cruise, HM, Buzz, Big Thunder. Speedway is now out past 8:30pm
EPCOT: SE(?) is going in and out, Remy, Frozen, MS
DHS: TSMM, TOT, Slinky, RNRC, Indy. Alien is out past 8:30pm
AK: Still just Navi and Kali
*attractions do come back on refreshes but in general show as no avialability
So... the last question to me is, if you "miss" your first LL reservation does it count the same as "redeeming" your first LL and unlocks the other 2.
If the answer is yes, I am booking an park Pixar short film fest at EPCOT and ITTBAB at AK (assuming I am hopping). This opens me up to have 3 tier 1, any park LL tracks 1 hour after opening.
MK and DHS both have valuable enough tier 2 rides not to do this.
Here's what Disney says:
On the day of your park visit, once you redeem a Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection (or once the arrival window has passed), you can use the My Disney Experience app to check availability for another Lightning Lane Multi Pass experience—and add to your plans.

Ok, so stuff might be "selling out" but the wait times are short.
Speedway = 20 min wait (currently).
Pooh = 35 min
BTMR = 45 min
Buzz = 40 min
Right now, MK wait times are 5-65 min, with the majority around 30-40 min.

As of 1:30pm, I see TSMM at 95, Mansion at 65, Space at 60, Tower at 55, Everest 55, Jungle Cruise 55.
Nothing crazy, but not short either.

But that likely isn't as many days of your trip and even on this days, now only doing one thing vs trying to do VQs, and G+, and ILLs all starting at 7am
But yes, still will have *something* on at least some days of your trip

Yep, assuming they didn't forgot to mention you need to be in the park, it looks like those of us who don't like to rope drop should now just book one T1 for when we want it (maybe a T2) and then one or two throw aways as early as possible. Let those expire and add better rides as they do.
Yet another reason this system is just dumb from a design standpoint. Now I am going to be eating up inventory I have no intention of every using just to give myself a chance to get other T1/2 rides that sell out quickly.
