Now it’s just a paid version of crappy fastpass+
Getting worse daily.
Good management, Bobs

Since I’m going to do 3 week long trips and a 1.5 week trip on this pass it’s the most cost effective way to buy tickets.How does that affect “value”?
I disagree. My assumption is that this was a glitch in new software update if the prior poster had this behavior. If this is truly what they planned then it devalues the product further and pushes more people to use them during the day rather than "waste" their windows.A good update that prevents stacking.
That is almost assuring you get very limited use…which is probably mathematically what they SHOULD do…but provides zero real value to the buyer.I disagree.

The Walt Disney Company is a world leader in devaluing their own products.I disagree. My assumption is that this was a glitch in new software update if the prior poster had this behavior.

It’s just a numbers problemI’m just tired of trying to figure out all the rules and “hacks”. The system is way more confusing than it needs to be.
Don’t do it then. Stay on site, arrive at parks 30-45 min before EE, do the headliners in the first two hours, do high capacity stuff after that, and if you have to, do one headliner with a longer wait midday, hop, do the high capacity rides first, unless you catch a headliner with a short line, otherwise wait until the last two hours. If you are willing to early entry rope drop and close, you do not need Genie.I’m just tired of trying to figure out all the rules and “hacks”. The system is way more confusing than it needs to be.
You have to thread a needle to get much done that way.Don’t do it then.

I enjoy it still, it’s a really great exercise plan too. It’s only “regimented” for the first and last 2 hours. The middle of the day I just do whatever I feel like that has a short line.You have to thread a needle to get much done that way.
It also sounds like a job…not a vacation.
I agree, whatever "Skip the wait" system is in use, early entry and staying just before close really helps to get on attractions.Don’t do it then.

Uggh, that stinks.Oh, something random I just thought of that happened last week. When the modify button was first introduced, your two hour cool down period would not reset if you modified a LL. I remember specifically seeing that in a YouTube video. However, last week when I was modifying LLs, every time I modified to a new time, my two hour window would reset. I was attempting to stack a few for the afternoon in Epcot but was basically unsuccessful because everything in Future World was booking pretty much immediately and every time I tried to modify to a later LL time, my two hour window kept getting pushed back. Must be a new update so I thought I would share.

Epcot just under two weeks ago, in order:Don’t do it then.

Bingo, it’s a lot of walking but it’s what I do as well.Epcot just under two weeks ago, in order:
Rode Frozen during early entry
Test Track single rider walk on near park opening
Guardians VQ - walked directly to the preshow holding room
Soarin - 10 minute wait
Got to Remy just over an hour past park opening. Posted 45, only waited 20 minutes.
Done with all the headliners within the first two hours of park opening. No Genie+ needed.
What was it like the first day you set foot in a Disney park?I enjoy it still, it’s a really great exercise plan too. It’s only “regimented” for the first and last 2 hours. The middle of the day I just do whatever I feel like that has a short line.
I’ve been a park commando for as long as I could remember so it really hasn’t affected me much. This is back to pre Fastpass days, with FP I dispersed riding headliners more evenly throughout the day.What was it like the first day you set foot in a Disney park?
…because big shot Bob intentionally made it THIS…not that.
It doesn’t prevent stacking at all, and I doubt they have any intention to do that - otherwise they’ll be inundated with complaints when someone books at 7am and gets a 5pm Slinky return time.A good update that prevents stacking.
I was modifying my newest one. Basically, at early entry we went to Frozen. Our first LL was for Remy at 9:30. We had lunch reservations at Spice Road Table so the plan was the stay in the World Showcase all morning then head to Future World in the afternoon. After tapping into Remy, all the Future World LLs were basically booking instantly. I was hoping to get Soarin’ for about 1pm so I took the first available thinking I would just bump it back as it got closer to my desired time. But every time I bumped it back, at the top of the tip board where it says “you can book your next lightning lane at this time” would bump back also. I eventually just cancelled the LL and waited until we were in Future World to start booking them.
