So they’ve made it such that staying on property is essentially a prerequisite to ride ROTR and Rat.

So let's say you get up at 7 AM and book one, at 9 could you book another and have two ready to go? If so I don't hate that
So no changes to advance bookings or Fees to book 60 days out for say Le Cellier, or a "Premiere" restaurant at Disney Springs?

I've tried to keep up with the post but can't. Think it's going to be a "from this post forward" kind of read. So sorry if this stuff has been asked
A) Where do we have confirmation about being able to book a 2nd LL after so much time if the current booking is later in the day? Is this just based on how MaxPass works/worked? I was curious if maybe to prevent something being "sold out" by an early time, that maybe they do X number of "drops" so many times a day, so say when you look at 12 you may not see anything for BTMR but if you looked at 1, there could be 1:30 available...
B) What will be used to validate the LL? Same as before (Magic Band, Card, Magic Mobile etc)?

Yeah, we sometimes take DDP depends on who all is going. If DDP will only be a Prefix menu at all restaurants we wont again.I would expect much of the same, just with the added ability to reserve in the genie app.
Now.. update ddp to be only prix-fixe and make the reservations day-of only.... That would make things spicy

Thanks, WRT A) the posts I did get though, people seemed to have been indicating that pretty "matter of fact" so I thought I missed something.

MyMagic+ Adding Even More Magic to FastPass+
A few weeks ago we shared the latest plans for MyMagic+, and gave a look at more changes to come. We saw great response and interest in the news. Many of you expressed excitement about the evolution of FastPass+ and the fact that we were working on

When traveling with small children (and probably older children too) and trying to rope drop though, every morning is like trying to get everyone up and dressed and off to school on time. So adding any task during that time sounds stressful to me. Even if it’s just one simple worksheet, no one looks forward to hearing “But mom, I forgot and I need this for school todaaaaay…” as they’re doing the Morning Mad Dash.

If they actually are on the high end only $24 per person they will sell like crazy. But I doubt that is official.

So I can get up, book a pass for 3pm, then 2 hours later book one for 4, then at 11 book another for 5 and show up to the park at 3pm with my 3 fastpasses?
Sounds like an annoying, confusing, expensive fastpass+

So when you want faspasses you buy Genie+ and use the lightning lane...
what is it called when you buy your way into a specific lightning lane? why is there no name for that?

it is strangely nameless
No.
Standby and VQs [for RotR and Rat] don't cost extra.
Many people went to the parks without planning or using FP+ and still got on rides. You can still do that without any upsells.
The difference is that FP now costs extra.
No.
Joining the BG/VQ 'lottery' is still 'free' to all guests at 7 AM.
*Purchasing* an entry to Rat or RotR costs money. And on-site guests get a jump on the chance to *buy* access to these two rides.

Is Disneyland keeping paper Fastpasses or are they going away as well? MaxPass was on top of the traditional system so Genie+ could just take place of that. I don't think I've seen a clear answer either way.
Unknown at this time.
We're not sure that G+$ LLs follow the DL Maxpass rules of a 90 or 120 reset clock.

It’s based on the debacle triplets and solo…if you want a splash of cold water on it to help your decision?
I seem to remember similar economic forecasts when the first menu bump/dining plan reduction occurred.
