I have nothing prior to it, including dining.
I agree it appears to be an overlap issue... it seems though it is not wanting the modified time to overlap with the original time.

This is happening to me too. I booked yesterday and was trying to just slightly move a few times up by less than hour. Checking all day, the first screen would say something like Earliest Time Available 9:35 then when I clicked it, all the return times would be 2pm or later. I just assumed it was an overlap issue with current plans. I’m guessing if I canceled everything, which obviously I’m not going to do, then that earlier time would pop up. At this point I’m going to wait until the day of and fiddle faddle then. The good news is that with this system, that’s only a week away, not two months

I booked mine this morning and generally it allowed a 15 to 20 minute overlap but no more. It’s definitely kinda random how overlap rules get applied.

Decided to test out a theory this morning.
We check into CBR this Saturday and I posted here this past Saturday about my experience booking LL. Today is the 3 day mark if I was staying off site. I’ve been wondering if Disney holds back LLs for people staying off site and if more availability would come up today. My daughter was up early this morning so since I was awake, I tested it out.
A little before 7am, I attempted to modify my Tiana LL. It showed up as no availability. I checked again at 7am, still no availability.
A little before 7, I attempted to modify my Slinky Dog LL, the earliest availability was 5:55pm. Checked again at 7, it still said 5:55. I refreshed a few times and it jumped to 6:05pm.
For the heck of it, I did attempt to book Tiana for a day later in the week and it was available at 4:30pm. So if you are staying off site, just like with the old FP+ system, I would book high demand LLs as far out as possible.
So in conclusion, it does not appear lightning lanes are “saved” for off site guests.

This was my experience as well trying to book Tiana, which I was able to get at 3 days out, but not 7 days out. They definitely slow roll the release of capacity, either that or people just book stuff and give it up on a whim. I'm not really sure which, but I would assume in an effort to get your 3 day out guests to actually buy LL, they would hold back some capacity. Slinky and Tiana are very bad examples though since they're incredibly hard to book.

SDD is definitely going to be a Challege for offsite guests. It sometimes has a drop times, but is less reliable. Tiana on the other hand almost always drops at X:48 during the park day.

Each hour? That’s interesting. Is there a cheat sheet out there somewhere for any other rides? Specifically rat?

Lightning Lane Drop Times
Hello Everyone, Trying to get a list of Drop times for higher in-demand attractions. Based on Thrill Data, I think I found the following. Ride Times Tiana's Bayou Adventure 9:48am, 10:48am, 11:48am, 12:48pm, 1:48pm, 2:48pm, 3:48pm, 4:48pm, 5:48pm, 6:48pm, 7:48pm, 8:48pm Remy 1:48 PM...
No promises, but this was my best attempt at making a LL drop sheet. I believe Touring plans has one as well behind their subscription, however I can't confirm.
You can see the tiana drops pretty well from thrill data:

Can someone please remind me of the grace period where the Mickey head will turn green? Is it 5 minutes early and 10 minutes late?

Typically 5 early and 15 late, but I haven't used the newest revision of this yet.

5 mims early seems like the consensus. I’ve seen online people claiming up to an hour late but I probably wouldn’t rely on that.

With Peter Pan joining the tier 1 ranks in 3 days... Where do we expect the priority to be?
#2 behind Tiana?
#3 behind JC?

Why assume no drops? There are more rides with drops now than under G+ and more frequent drops too.
Not that any are guaranteed, but since PP was #2 to sell out in MK after JC under G+, I would be surprised if it didn’t have drops.

Can confirm.

I didn’t think it had regular drops before so assuming that continues but it would be good if it did start having them.

That is correct.
But MK didn’t have daily drops under G+ . However since the new system came in, MK does now have them. Including for Jungle Cruise and Tiana.
Since Splash ranked below JC and PP in terms of sold out G+ , I therefore expect PP to also have them.
Has anyone listed the drops? Would be helpful
