I have October 19, 2021 @ 7:05am EDT for the first crash of the system due to traffic of people trying to buy G+ on day 1.

On a plane to WDW at this moment. Heading home on the 17th.
Very thankful to be missing this rollout.
I feel like the unexpectedly low crowds will work in their favor for this. Not as many people will buy it, time work out the bugs before any holiday rush.
Frozen getting IAS only happens to the extent that the ride is low capacity compared it's typically high demand, and it's effectively a placeholder until Guardians.
I could only imagine buying this if I was on a 1 day ticket in MK or DHS on a high crowd day. I'll be missing it next week but we'll see how it rolls when I'm back in January.

Yep. Disney is actually stopping you from buying more than two ILLs a day.
Here's everything that Disney has called this so far:Also, Individual Lightning Lane nomenclature makes me ILL.
- Lightning Lane Select Experiences
- Individual Attraction Selections (IAS)
- Individual Attractions
- Individual Lightning Lanes (ILL) (!!)

Have they actually capitalized any of those, indicating that they're the Official Title?
I'm pretty sure we're the ones who made IAS a thing.
Hard to tell when they keep using all caps for almost all their graphic designs.

I'm SO happy I'm there next week and head to Vero Beach the week this begins, as I assume wait times should be less and will rise once this is implemented to get guests to purchase.

You think the Boo Bash thread was bad? People are going to give themselves a stroke trying to control how people behave with these paid services.
Your LLs for the day are limited by waiting until your LL scheduled time arrives, or by waiting 2 hours for the next one. And it's also limited that you can't buy more than two IA$s (ILLs) in one day. And it's limited that you can't get more than one LL for any one attraction in a day.
At the beginning of the day, everyone theoretically can start out with 4 LLs (one DG+ picked at 7 AM, one picked at 9 AM, and 2 purchased ILLs).
It used to be that everyone started out with 3 FP+s that they could have picked 30 or 60 days previously. And once people used their 3 FP+s, they can grab another. And when that was used, another.
So... not much different. Except having to pay for it. Which would should make LLs less common than FP+s.
Yep, and I don't really se much advantage in pre-purchasing.

Agreed, it seems entirely pointless.

true and something ive thought about, i guess my biggest issue is that they are basically forcing you to buy it, where before it was "free" (included in your ticket). So people that can afford it will, and the people that can barely get in the gate or that really saved up for years for this one trip for their kids are "punished". I just hate how slowly its becoming a class system. I am sure I am not the only person who the first time i came was as a little kid and my parents saved for a long time to give their kids that magical trip. I know im not the only person that feels they are pushing anyone that is middle class out. Upper middle class or bust!!
