Lightning Lane Premier Pass

Also kinda weird you can’t park hop with it.

Disney will be handing out labels to denote guest status:

for those who pay

for the rest of those with no $$$$

Didn’t think they would pull this lever until they were desperate…. Guess we are there now.

It could be a way to juice occupancy rates at Deluxe hotels. That might make the most sense here.

See that would hurt VIP business.

I’m sure you can hop using LLSP/LLMP.

I am wondering if this is the next step to slowly morph the system into Disney Premier Access. Get rid of of Lightning Lane and only sell the single or all attractions once option like Tokyo (only single)/Shanghai/Hong Kong and Paris has.

Regarding VIP, it wouldn't surprise me if a price hike is incoming for that one as well. Especially once this exits the pilot phase.

How does it going unlimited force it onto anyone? It’s an optional add on that isn’t even required to enjoy the parks at its lowest price point. Would you prefer this be $50 per person and we just get rid of standby lines? Because everyone and their mother would have it and the parks would be miserable.

Would rather it didn’t exist.

You can always buy it for more than one park.

IMO that’s by design. That - and ride repeating, seems to be the feature locked behind the VIP tour guide paywall.

Unlike the LLMP for normies, allowing hopping here would give you a locked in X amount more rides depending on the park. I wonder if you can purchase more than one park per day…

Welcome to Universal Orlando Status, Walt Disney World.

Nah. The difference in the execution is quite significant compared to universal. Not really the same at all.

Of all the systems you can have, having a very expensive single skip the line option is actually the best for everybody.

Room prices increase to keep the DVC price per point looking like a good value. It removes any incentive for a slowdown to lead to lower prices based on demand. This now does the same for LL prices. Ultimately, this allows Disney the flexibility they desire to take individual LL prices to the moon by pointing at it as the alternative.

If they dropped the current system…

 

[ConfettiCupcake]

There was a time where people thought putting a price tag that looks nearly free next to this one would be enough to dissuade people from purchasing paid FP and would make the whole thing more bearable.

I’m surprised at people who aren’t interested in buying this seeing it in a positive light.

they can't do that though... need all the money they can get... no matter how miserable it is for the guests

You know UOR has a SINGLE USE express right? Same thing.

I wish but the regular Genie+ and ILL brings in so much $$$ they won't want to loose that and this new scheme sure isn't going to bring in enough to replace it.

 

[Andrew C]

I feel like this is going to draw a lot of negative attention. But we will see.

 

[GhostHost1000]

remember... it wasn't too long ago, fastpass was available to everyone, for free. My how things have changed.


At least Bob came back to fix everything

Without a separate system going at the same time as express pass. And you can use between parks. And it’s cheaper.
