Lightning Lane Premier Pass

Thanks for the info,

My question is the times you waited 5 min to get to merge, what was the posted standby?
We know actual standby wait is about 30 percent shorter than posted time.

I totally believe folks will cut back on other things to purchase LLPP.
I suspect the other segments like dining and merch hate LLPP for taking money from them.

I was planning to track that, but after walking to the merge with a posted 70 and a posted 65, I quit.

I think Soarin was posted 50 when we waited a little bit, and I think Jingle Cruise was posted around 80. Long enough that I would never have entered the queue without an LL.

The 70 min posted wait time was actually 50 minutes or less.

I cant trust the posted times.
They simply CANT get it right and most of the time its an over estimate.
I do however look at the actual standby queue to try to gauge the wait.

They can get it right, it’s inflated on purpose. It controls guest flow and increases guest satisfaction.

They've been inflating wait times long before they sold a skip the line pass. I have yet to see any evidence that they are inflating more than during FP/FP+

Don't confuse posters with facts.

Sorry but those wait times were inflated well before paid LLs were a thing.

And they've been using optical illusions to make those look longer than they are - like closing queue lanes indoors so the line extends outside (where it can be seen and percieved as a long line).

Very true, before paid LL, I think they inflated times to make folks feel good they waited less than the posted wait time, they still do it today for the same reason with the happy side effect of possibly selling some LLs
