Lightning Lane Premier Pass

[MickeyLuv'r]

I can't speak to your age, or I-4 specifically, but express lanes have been part of toll roads for decades.

The ones in Va started up about 30 years ago. The ones in Ohio about the same time. I don't know when they got around to putting them in in Florida although i know Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti was looking at them even before she took over FTE back 2011.

Private toll roads are actually much older. In the USA, they date back to the 1790's. From 1831-1840, the country had hundreds of them, but then canals/railways became more common and more profitable.

VA's modern Public/Private toll road partnership started in 1995. Before that, VA pioneered the concept of express lanes for buses in 1969.

That's older than I realized.

Well done counselor! You got me!

OK. I will publicly apologize to all.

Folks should be free to associate Disney with value or not if they choose.

Its very clear Bob, Josh and Hugh that WDW still delivers value for what folks pay.

Your post made me chuckle.

Truly, I appreciate your efforts to lighten up a lot of threads like this one.

Yea i was only trying to go back to what i had some personal experience with. My dad assisted Fluor on the DBOMB project with VA, and I have had interaction with the EZPASS ones post 2004. But your right the concept of payment for faster services/better options, even in areas of constitutionally protected rights of interstate travel goes back a long way.

I'm not free to wait in standby for the two VQ rides as it's not an option. My hope is LLMP is eventually gone and the only option is standby or the Premier Pass

Your wish may be reality soon enough. My guess is two Christmases from now it could be LLPP and LLSP only.

My wish is every and all attractions have the option of a standby line.

Standby should always be available (Yes, even for new things like TBA. They could have all three available (Standby, VQ, LL) if they wanted to.) What else will "compliment" the standby queue is certainly up for debate.

We’re repeat customers but we know what we want.

An empty park and a hard reservation for Peter Pan to go with it?

What do you mean?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

What do you mean?

Isn’t that what you want?

No.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

No.

My bad…I must have you confused with someone else

No worries. These threads can be hard to follow

For the low low price of 9.99 per item per month Disney Remembers (TM) can keep track of those things for you!

I think that could be better, even for guests that don't get it and should make the lines for a lot more tides move quicker as LL won't be used as much

Its the luck of the draw my friend.

No, it’s knowing what to do. 100% success rate over 50+ times is not luck.

Just like DLP then.

I don’t know what effect the system will have at WDW though.
