Just poking around...Why when I check my dates in the my day section does it say for the 27th of December I can make reservations in 1 day? I leave in 69 days. 9 days from now I can mke dining reservations for entire length of stay (up to 10 days). It also shows this for the 28th (2 days) etc. I though I have to wait 9 days from now and make reservations for my entire length of stay.
EDIT...I think its basing it on making a day of reservation.

I don’t see Kali or Safari in your screenshot? Those are the rides we’re discussing.

2 quick questions.......
1) Can you choose your return time for IAS purchase?
2) for SDMT, where it says window starts at 1pm, does that mean people bought all the availability prior to 1pm already?
No
Yes

I thought you got to choose your return times for IAS like FP+?
I thought Genie+ was "next available" but IAS was "choose a return time"

Re: #2 I posted some screenshots where ROTR went from later than 2pm and then back to 10am. So... Who knows?

Slinky Dog shows 4:25pm availability now where as 20 minutes ago it showed 5:30pm. Perhaps this confirms they will scatter availability.
It is interesting if the availability times show differently for each guest as their party size might be different. A party of 2 might get on at noon whereas a party of 6 might have to wait until 3pm etc..

Has it been confirmed that your return window is an hour long?
Maybe they are saving it for Genie+ MAX which for an additional fee, on top of an additional fee, on top of an additional fee, will allow you to name your own return time.
By selecting refresh I was able to see a 12:45pm return for slinky after first seeing a 5:25pm.

Not sure if you can cancel IAS but that would seem to be the logical explanation: someone with earlier return times canceled and freed up that return time (albeit, a limited amount).
It seems that Disney is sticking with "Individual Lightning Lane" for what was once called "Individual Attraction Service."
So, death to IA$! Long live ILL!!*
*Of course, in various blogs, websites, Tweets, brochures, Disney will continue to confuse everyone by continuing to call it by various other names such as we've already seen:

Anyway you slice it my strategy will be to grab Slinky first and enter the park after 10am. I'll have my next choice at 11..I'll choose Smugglers. I'm always going with the two highest demand no matter the times or how long I need to wait before grabbing another LL. Then I'll use the tip board to check anything either waits to stand in to mill some time as well as do any shows or other things. I think to me at least, the most obvious is to grab the ride that is in highest demand (if you plan to ride it) mo matter what time.

Until the ride opens. It still showed as closed before 815 probably bc it wasn't scheduled to open until 815.
As of 815 you can book again

You cannot cancel or modify IAS once selected

I assume Disney doesn’t know how large to make the Lightning Lane buckets yet. They started with a guesstimate and now we all will be watching how fast they get distributed and the effects on Standby wait times. Disney will be playing around with the buckets a lot these first couple weeks, months, and for today probably in real time.
I just would hate to the person who gets a late time, these 5PM slots, only for earlier times to get refilled later.
Looking at possible pinch points. Rise for $$ does seem to be selling, as well as Remy. But people don’t seem to be paying for FOP. Return times for FOP are before 9:00 still.
For regular LL… in MK it’s JC & Peter Pan followed by HM and BTMRR for seeing times start to push out to early lunch, SDD, Smuggler’s Run, and several other things in the 10:30-11:00 windows at DHS, Soarin, Test Track.

Can someone please clarify....It has been asked several times but I have not been able to get clarification...
I have 2 questions
For resort guests:
1) When you went to purchase IAS (ROTR or MMRR........SDMT or Space Mtn...........FOP or Everest..........Frozen or Rat)...............Where you able to choose your return time?
2) Could you overlap time if you purchased both?
