Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

[monothingie]

Congratulations Disney, you just raised your ticket prices without actually raising your ticket prices.

"we're giving you more options to be more spontaneous" yea by adding even more structure into my day

Where can I find a list of Tier 1 rides? It's been so long since I used fast pass I can't remember...

To give an idea of how fluid this has been, that overview video was filmed in the last 10 days at MK.

Does this mean they will be limiting the amount of individual attraction passes you can get? Limit of 2?

2 Tier 1's per day

$15 is per person for all tier two attractions. Tier 1 are in addition and limited to 2 per day if you’re mad enough to want to pay.

Thank you. So a day at HS for 15 dollars means unlimited tier 2 rides..Tower of Terror, TSM,Rock N Roller Coaster etc.. what about the headliners on a busy week like New Years? Is that TBD in terms of pricing still? Will resort guests get one free?

 

[Basil of Baker Street]

I have no problem paying $15 for a day of FP's. My problem is going to be having to shell out lets say $10/pp or more for a 5 minute ride.

 

[danv3]

At $15/day, isn't almost everyone going to buy this? Which either means it will be very hard to make additional reservations after your first one or two, or standby lines will be really rough. (Or maybe both, LOL.)

 

[TimeTrip]

If the pricing is $15/day/person at all parks for Tier 2's, that means WAY more bang for the buck at MK...

ETA: Since it would work across parks, I'd expect way more park-hopping between non-MK parks. Perhaps a play to sell more park-hoppers?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Surge same day pricing for headliners might be the most devious act that DIS has ever perpetrated on their “guests”

There is absolutely nothing at Wdw other than maybe FOP that would warrant that consideration

20+ years of too little investment. That is where they are and how they should be “rewarded”

Or more.

Or don’t do it.

Fluid meaning hot mess?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

So Maxpass+. But they recognize some rides are a more valuable commodity.

This will matter at Rat, Guardians, Tron, Rise, and FoP... and pretty much nowhere else.

This is true…it’s nearly useless at mgm and Epcot

It's kinda here:

Disney World Fastpass Information - Tips for Using FastPass+

This will matter at Rat, Guardians, Tron, Rise, and FoP... and pretty much nowhere else.

Soarin', Test Track, Falcon, Slinky, FEA, MMRR. Maybe they'll stick ToT or RnRC into that too? Then again DHS has so little to do. For MK I'd assume SM, TM, SpM, and 7D.

Are you allowed to wait in a regular line while waiting for your lighting lane ride?

So if I schedule Haunted Mansion at 7 am from my hotel room for 10 am - can I get in Peter Pan's line when I arrive for the 30 minute early entry? Or even Mine Train?

Think of it like old FastPass. You went to the machine, got your ticket with return time, and then did other attractions until you could use your fastpass. Same as Fastpass+.

The question is will you have to wait until you’ve used your LL to book a new one, or will the old 2 hour rule apply?

In legacy Fastpass you could book a second Fastpass after you used the one you held, or after 2 hours passed from the previous booking.

Sounds like it

Interestingly enough, Disney is limiting it to two attractions per day. So at least there might be more availability for everyone who's willing to pay. I was expecting unlimited if one could afford it.

Unless the only tier 2 is Swiss Family Robinson.
