ok, make that august 7-11, can i book 3 for each day, or just the first day?i can forsee problems with resort guests taking all the good times, that plus 3 day outers taking up more, makes pre-planning more important i guess, book them or lose them.

If you have date based tickets you can book for each day up to the number of days on your tickets.

Each day on up to a 14 day trip.

If you are not a resort guest but have date based tickets you can book 3 days in advance of the ticket start date and book 3 for each day that you have valid ticket media.
If you are not a resort guest but have an annual pass you can book 3 days prior to your park visit (one day at a time.)

Yep. Always using the US site and I’ve tried incognito mode on chrome and private on Safari. I just tried 2 VPNs, too. And this is what is shown:
Followed further down, where the link to start would be, by this:
To be clear, though, @wdwmagic talked directly to the comms team and that post is not correct.

You’d think they’d want to have the advance bookings set up to avoid the system running into trouble on the morning of the 24th. Oh well! Will do my best to prepare but it’s definitely going to be a nightmare!!At least no one else can either. But that morning isn’t going to be fun. Good luck.
If that is the case, then that will make more sense - still not 100% sense though.
They would be able to see that you have reservations to be on-site, so will likely turn up, so will be more likely to use it.
However, that means that it wouldn't be an app issue, or a website issue, but a choice that Disney is making to move international guests on-site (which makes business sense).
However, confusion is going to happen, unless US blogs/websites would start phrasing instructions on how to use the system like below.
=====
If you are staying on-site, LLMP/LLSP reservations open up 7 days before arrival, and you can booked for up to 14-days.
If you are not staying on-site, LLMP/LLSP reservations will open up 3 days before you plan to use your ticket for entry, and can booked once you have entered the US.
Three parks (MK, Epcot, DHS) have tiers...
=====
Otherwise, people are going to read (like we all did yesterday) about booking 3 days out, and then they will try and not be able to.
If this is the case, then they should have just announced it like that yesterday, instead of causing more confusion.

That sounds better. Fingers crossed it’s true.
However not sure that a CM in Customer Services is a better source than Scott Gustin, WDWMagic and others who have spoken to the Media Relations team. That seems more official than a random CM.
I think the jury is out.

I’m sure there’s a way to bypass it.
I’ll see if I can find out.
I think unfortunately that is more a case of guest relations not knowing about the restriction, which has not largely been communicated with anyone.
I can tell you that I confirmed the restriction directly with the comms team, which I have never known to be wrong.
Did they indicate this actually includes Canada?

Is Canada inside the U.S.?
If you are an International guest visiting Walt Disney World from outside the United States, be aware that the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lighting Lane Single Pass beginning July 24 will only be available for purchase once you are inside the U.S.A.
So in what way would these changes impact someone who plans on not using Genie+ version II. We kinda want to avoid it so we are not constantly too'in and fro'in around the park. Are we expecting the standby lines to be even longer with this system or is going to have a negligible impact on SB lines.
Canada isn't generally considered "International" and a lot of things in the past have been different for Canadian bookings as opposed to the UK or South America. So seeking specific clarification before I write WDW off as a vacation destination.Is Canada inside the U.S.?

Probably the same. The only thing that may happen is people burning through LL faster and leaving through park? You can get basically LL 3x faster.

The important part:

Where you live is not important.
