Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

[marni1971]

Load of tosh. Keep shafting the guest customer. Shameful.

I’m wondering if it will be a set price across the board when booking a package. Or if different days/ parks will have different prices.

The names are still awkward. Multi Pass and Single Pass? Single Pass doesn’t really tell me that it is a pay-for-ride. Multi Pass sounds like the new Park Hopper. The L-Arrow logo is nice, but also lacking in creativity.

most things with disney are lacking in creativity now adays

Unless the price is insane, I'll buy it. It addresses my 2 biggest G+ complaints - waking up early on vacation and not being able to pick times. It also slightly improves upon FP+ by not forcing you to wait until using up all 3 selections before picking additional ones. It's not perfect, but it's a definite improvement for me and my family.

Yea, I like that part about not having to use all three as well. Plus it's a perk for staying onsite to be able to do it earlier

There are a lot of different opinions on how this should work. Someone will always be ed off. But if it es off each group a little bit, perhaps that's where the best path lies.

I'm resigned to the fact that this is the way it will be going forward. What quite frankly is awful about this is the way they're branding this. It is deceptively confusing and making something that is already complicated and a driver of guest dissatisfaction and making it worse.

They really should like cast members and annual passholders purchase this as an add-on to their pass or at a discounted rate. In Disneyland, cast members can purchase Genie plus with a 20% discount.

 

[GhostHost1000]

ya know they could have made this WAY easier by just letting everyone book 1 LL and 1 ILL ahead of time and keep the rest the same. That solves the main problem of the 7am day of lotto scramble

it does help some however with planning the day out rather than zig-zagging across the park all day

it admits their G+ idea replacing FP+ was dumb however... as this is nothing more than FP+ with $ and additional carved out rides to charge even more for

If these images are right it doesn't look like the price is changing.

 

[Nottamus]

So no Animal Kingdom ?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I guess I’m gonna have to watch the fastpass defunctland documentary again to celebrate whatever this is

You might want to make sure you have vodka and a box of tissues first

…first day here?

I’m wondering if it will be a set price across the board when booking a package. Or if different days/ parks will have different prices.

It would make sense that they will continue with demand pricing to control/entice certain days or parks.

I just think there are no tiers there. Just flight of passage as a single pass ride.

 

[GhostHost1000]

So no Animal Kingdom ?

not enough there for tiers

 

[Schweino]

While I hate Disney turned Fast Pass into a money grab, I do like that I can now plan ahead at MK and HS with this. I think its a step in the right direction ESPECIALLY if the price doesnt change.

Disney: how to fix a broken system

revert back to the previous system but charge for it and carve out the most popular rides and charge more for them as well

problem $olved

 

[Ayla]

So it's nothing more than Fastpass+, which you now have the privilege of paying for.

Sorry for a stupid question, but does this mean for those who will be in the parks on the 24th they get to do this the 17th? Or does the whole thing begin on the 24th and that’s when you start for a trip on the 31st?
