It’s too bad they eliminated standby on some rides.
If folks want to wait in line, let them.
I think that it is mainly TRON, Guardians, and Tiana (basically those with virtual queues).

The floor is also worse. With genie, because inventory was spread out, your first 3 selections were all tier 1. And that was for all people, as long as they had the extreme basic knowledge of knowing you could book every 2 hours.Absolutely the educated guests will do better than uneducated. My suspicion though is that the peak won’t be quite as good as G+ but that the floor will be better than G+.
But I think super users will still do just fine. And if there are drops during the day and those get known then it potentially won’t be that different from G+
1,000,000% this. This is the absolute worst system they have ever had.This is absolutely the worst version of this system.
They reduced the inventory of available Multi Pass Lightning Lanes relative to Fastpass+ and added a price point. More than ever before, I think this may be my breaking point. The system in Disneyland is substantially better than Disney World.
Exactly why this system is terrible. I will bet anything this get modified before the holidays. There is no way in hell getting those 3 rides is worth $35 pp.Strongly disliking this system. I have a trip from August 3 to 11 and I'm looking at MK August 10, almost two weeks out, and this is the best we can do:

By the time we can start using these in the early afternoon we'd be looking at scraps to fill in the rest of the day. Now we play a modifying game.
This system is an unmitigated disaster and that's not hyperbole. It will have the lowest guest satisfaction ratings of all of the systemsNot everyone can lock in three separate one hour windows that are largely immovable objects. Disney World is a vacation that involves children and children can't always be scheduled.
Advanced bookings of 3 attractions + Lightning Lane Single Pass has dramatically reduced the same day flexibility. It's the same problems that plagued Fastpass+ but exaggerated even further. The overall inventory for the 3 Lightning Lane Multi Pass is reduced because attractions that would otherwise be Tier 1 are essentially in their own Single Pass tier.
This system is unsustainable in its current form.
Correct. Too bad they eliminated standby. Folks should have the choice to stand in line if they want to,I think that it is mainly TRON, Guardians, and Tiana (basically those with virtual queues).
Counter Point. Those that know how to use the system will have a much better time if they use the skip the line system than an all standby day. I had my "worst" (still a great day) day at MK ~2 weeks before G+ launched.As much as crowds were indeed lower, the COVID era standby only was so much smoother. Lines moved quickly as they were not constantly stopping for FP/Genie/Lightning etc. I understand exceptions for DAS, but I wish we could just have standby only.
Disney rides were generally designed to be extremely efficient and FP/Genie/whatever messes up a lot of the efficiency and makes the experience worse in the long run, IMO.
Are the drop times behind a paywall? If not, would you mind sharing the link? If they are behind the paywall, don't share as that's how Len makes his money. (I'll probably subscribe closer to my trip just for the drop times)Looking at touring plans, they dropped Tiana FPs every hour at :48, I got really lucky as I didn't know that. I didn't see any other noticeable behavior from the other attractions.

I agree. VQ is nothing more than false demand and none of them need a VQ, anymore.It’s too bad they eliminated standby on some rides.

Sorry - it was thrill data! No paywall at all, here you go: https://www.thrill-data.com/lightning-lane/wdw/tianasbayouadventure/07/28/2024Counter Point.

Are we now saying FP+ was good when all we heard for years was how bad it was for almost all guests especially ones that stayed off site?what makes it worse than FP+ (other than having to pay for it)
We thought FP+ was fantastic.Are we now saying FP+ was good when all we heard for years was how bad it was for almost all guests especially ones that stayed off site?
Yes compared to what we have now.Are we now saying FP+ was good when all we heard for years was how bad it was for almost all guests especially ones that stayed off site?
I don't think it's doomsday or anything. I actually think LLMP is a step up from G+. However, vs FP+what makes it worse than FP+ (other than having to pay for it)
You forget a bullet point for FP+.I don't think it's doomsday or anything. I actually think LLMP is a step up from G+. However, vs FP+
FP+>LLMP
LLMP>FP+
- No re-rides
- LLSP dilutes the tier 1 and tier 2
- I don't think MK had tiers under FP+ (but AK did).
- Meet and greets were on it (I think this may change)
- Could be done in a browser or the app
I don't remember the FP+ park hopping rule or if you could modify tier 2s into a tier 1 after using any of them.
- 7/3 days vs 60/30
- Simpler booking rules (always have 3)
- I don't think FP+ allowed for length of ticket booking for offsite guests. I think it was always 30 days
