This video is easier to understand than any phone call I’ve made. Thanks. This system seems way better than the nightmare of Genie plus. It was a real hassle on our last vacation (in April) to deal with the early morning rush to get reservations. And after years I still don’t fully understand how it all worked 😂. Ultimately the old fast pass system was better. But Disney needs to get more profit so I don’t expect to ever see that again
Booked our attractions for August 9-11 this morning and it only took a few minutes thanks to the prep I did after watching this video. It was a tremendous help! Now to stalk you guys on the Friday night we are there...
i'm actually prwtty impressed with how easy this system is to use. thus seems to be a kot nore straight forward than any of the other biiking systens dusney has tried since ducontinuing fast pass . like with any new thung give it timr. thanks so much sas always josh!really apprecite you taking the time to make this one.
looking forward to this. I just booked my first trip since 2006, and with me being 63yrs old, I need to find out how this all works. Standing in lines over an hour is just not something I can do anymore. By the way I did book thru MickeyTravels,
It’s been a similar time since I went and these videos are invaluable to help us work out how it all works now aren’t they? Thx so much Josh for doing this 😊
Josh... I'll be spending so much time looking at my phone that you could be walking by and I will miss my opportunity to thank you for this information... many years ago I watched your Universal video - that was awesome as well.... Thank you and be well !
Thanks for a great tour of the new Lightning Lane system! It does look better than Genie+, but still wish it was free. 😊 This video will be a great planning resource! 🤗
Thank you so much for all of that info! I was wondering if you could share which 3 rides at magic kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood studios would be the smartest to book first? Thank you!
Josh, at what point do you add or not add those in your group. If someone does not want to ride say big thunder can we not select them? Do we have to do another selection for them? Thanks
Awesome video! I do have a question about this new system. With the old genie plus, there were waiting times on when you could book an attraction so you could stack your LL. With this new system is there a wait time too? Example, let’s say I booked my 3 attractions and I used my first one so now I can book another. But there is not an available time for an attraction I want to do till 5pm. Do I have to wait until 5pm to book again? Or is it when I scan in for the original second attraction and I can book again?
Question can u book light lane for one than park and than another park for the next day explain Let say I am going to magic kingdom on Monday and I book light lane on Monday can i than also book light lane for Epcot when I am going there on Tuesday?
It is a bit weird how much instruction research and planning one has to do for Disney visit now Kind of makes wish they had ticket books again lol grew up two miles from Disneyland in Anaheim real easy in the late 60s 70s and 80s
Hi! I'm wondering - if i book with multipass, and then i use a lower tier reservation first, can i fill that spot with a second premium one? Say i book 2 low tier and tianas. Then i use one of the low tier ones first that day, leaving a slot open. Can i put space mountain in there? Or can i never have 2 premium multipass ones simultaneously booked, period?
Thank you for making this so much easier to understand, but of a moan but I feel us UK citizens are getting shafted a bit as we won't be able to start booking things till we land in the states hopefully Disney change this
Very thorough and well done, might have missed it but when you said you got Tianas I don't think you mentioned that it opened up as a random drop throughout the day. Not sure if that was a special occurrence or will be a daily thing, would be interesting to know.
A couple of comments. By default, it appears you are given lightning lanes an hour apart. After selecting, you can modify the passes so that you can sort of "stack" them so that three rides are done within an hour or two so that you can select more rides earlier in the day. One big downside concerns those with park-hopper tickets. This basically brings back park reservations because you have to choose ONE park for a multi-pass. If you're going to Magic Kingdom in the morning and planning on Hollywood Studios in the afternoon, you can only pick one park for your passes. I've heard that once you ride the first ride at MK THEN you can book a LL at another park. However, you can't book LLs at two parks 7 days out. I think that the solution to this is simple. Pay a set price for the MP at multiple parks. That way, you can select LLs at multiple parks 7 days out.
Yes. I mentioned that on the video about how to do park hopping, and you really only have to use your first lightning lane at the first park in order to book one at another park. This is a non-issue in my opinion because most people wouldn't just do one ride and then immediately hop to another park. They would usually want to do at least 2 or 3, so you do your three at your first park and then hop. And you can start booking just as soon as you use your first one to be prepared for later. I believe fastpass plus required the first three attractions selected to be at one park, but it was actually worse because you had to use all three passes to book even one more.
@@ResortTV1 Think of it this way. If you're park hopping from MK to Hollywood Studios one day, you use the first LL in MK then you can schedule Mickey's and Minnie's Runaway Railroad for late in the afternoon or in the evening. You don't have to immediately go to HS - that's for much later in the day.
Thanks for the video. When I book LL can I book multiple members of my party at the same time so we can all get the same time slots for the rides we select?
I'm waiting to see how it holds up in busy times like Halloween and Christmas. Will it still be as useful? Will so many being using it that stand by might not be that much more than LL? Will it work for the local APs or everything will be book?
Others have demonstrated what it's like using the new system the day of a visit. I'd think that most of your subscribers visit from out of state and are staying at a Disney hotel. I'd like to see how THAT works making reservations at 7am Florida time seven days out for a 3-5 day trip. How easy is it to schedule your desired rides? How quickly the major rides unavailable? How do you navigate from day to day? We have our annual trip scheduled for October 20-26 to attend MNSSHP. Split stay between Port Orleans Riverside (Sun-Wed) and Wilderness Lodge (Wed-Sat). I'll have to do this twice, once seven days before Riverside and three days later for Wilderness Lodge, right?
So once you watch the video, let me know if I answered your questions! This isn’t just a using it the day of video. And I do answer all of your questions in the video. :-)
It’s basically just for fun, and it makes it look like certain characters are sitting next to you or changes how the castle looks and things like that.
I think they’re just the special lenses that make it look like characters are standing right next to you and etc.. I’ll have to look up more about that to be sure.
I've heard you can pay with a Disney gift card. Does anyone know if there is a way to enter the gift card number before your booking window comes up? Don't want to waste time putting in the number when I could be reserving passes!😊
No. That means it’s how long they’ll hold those specific times for those rides for you. After the time is up, they’ll give those times to someone else.
I don't like paying for it, but for guests like myself who are only able to come maybe once a year or less, this is helpful to make the most of your time by not standing in long lines when you could be doing other things.
It’s a bit disappointing that they can only be used once per ride per day. After paying $100 total for 4 of us to have lightning lane multi passes for MK, it’s a bit lame that we only got to use them on just a couple rides since the outdoor rides were closed since it rained all day and most rides didn’t have a long standby wait. They really only came in useful for 3 rides that day, and would have been significantly more useful if we could have used them to re-ride those 3 rides. Was not worth the $100 I spend on them.
This was very easy to follow! I’ve never used either system yet, but it’s great to see how it all works ahead of any future trips, should we use it. I’m definitely more of a visual planner, so this really is valuable to me! Thanks for sharing Josh!
Thank you! This step-by-step video is the best explanation I’ve seen on the new LLMP system.
So helpful Josh! Thank you for walking through all the screens and tabs.
This video is easier to understand than any phone call I’ve made. Thanks.

Great Video Josh. Can't wait to give this a try
Thank you so much for this video! I like the fact. You can book ahead of time prior to arrival!
Thank you for the video Josh. I definitely like this system better than past systems. I’m a planner so this works perfectly for me. 😊
i'm actually prwtty impressed with how easy this system is to use. thus seems to be a kot nore straight forward than any of the other biiking systens dusney has tried since ducontinuing fast pass . like with any new thung give it timr. thanks so much sas always josh!really apprecite you taking the time to make this one.
Definitely like this better! Thank you for the helpful video 😊
Thanks for making this Josh. It really is very confusing, so this helps. And gonna share it, I thinknit will be very helpful
This was so helpful! Thank you! I’m excited to use it when I come next month.
Glad it was helpful!

Good news is that there’s actually a bit less checking your phone in this system than Genie Plus. Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
Thank you!
Thanks for a great tour of the new Lightning Lane system! It does look better than Genie+, but still wish it was free. 😊 This video will be a great planning resource! 🤗
Thanks for the info Josh! I finally got used to Disney Genie+ and now we have to learn this. But, it doesn’t seem to complicated after your video. ❤❤
Nice job, Josh!
Need this for my next trip!
So helpful thank you

It is a lot of planning for sure. I do miss the old days.
So for the lightning lane multi pass I can only Q up to 3 at a time but after I go on a ride I can Q up another one after?
so the line in the box next to tiana means it is already sold out?
Do you have to pay an additional fee when you book another LL after using one?
Good morning! I’m a little late on getting to listen and watch. Once you use the top option, can you then pick a second option in that top tier?
Hi! I'm wondering - if i book with multipass, and then i use a lower tier reservation first, can i fill that spot with a second premium one? Say i book 2 low tier and tianas. Then i use one of the low tier ones first that day, leaving a slot open. Can i put space mountain in there? Or can i never have 2 premium multipass ones simultaneously booked, period?

You really put it to the test Saturday night. 10 rides in 4.5 hours. That was amazing for the 1st time. You a are master.
Very thorough and well done, might have missed it but when you said you got Tianas I don't think you mentioned that it opened up as a random drop throughout the day. Not sure if that was a special occurrence or will be a daily thing, would be interesting to know.

Very helpful video, Josh! Are you able to make selections for multiple days at once? Or do you have to go one day at a time?
Thanks for the video. When I book LL can I book multiple members of my party at the same time so we can all get the same time slots for the rides we select?
Yes you can! It asks you to select party members when you book.
@@ResortTV1 thank you 👍🏽
Ok ready
I hope they implement this at disneyland soon. 🎉
I'm waiting to see how it holds up in busy times like Halloween and Christmas. Will it still be as useful? Will so many being using it that stand by might not be that much more than LL? Will it work for the local APs or everything will be book?

Awesome Video!! So informative!! Thank you!!
OK. I've tried 4 times now to scroll the screen as if I'm using the app.
I totally understand that 😂
Me too!!😂
I read your comment and still tried to scroll twice.
That is good to be able to book 7 days in advance
What r photo pass lenses ?
It’s basically just for fun, and it makes it look like certain characters are sitting next to you or changes how the castle looks and things like that.
The photos on the rides at the end and photos that cast members take Come with the new lightning Lane multi-pass?
I think they’re just the special lenses that make it look like characters are standing right next to you and etc.. I’ll have to look up more about that to be sure.
I've heard you can pay with a Disney gift card. Does anyone know if there is a way to enter the gift card number before your booking window comes up? Don't want to waste time putting in the number when I could be reserving passes!😊
So does the 5 mins or 4 mins means how long until you can't change it?
No. That means it’s how long they’ll hold those specific times for those rides for you. After the time is up, they’ll give those times to someone else.
@ResortTV1 oh so you have to be quick with saving those rides
@@ResortTV1do I only have 5 minutes if I make ride reservations for multiple days, such as a 4 day trip?
Can you book "one" ride more than once each day with the Lightening Lane Multipass?
I don't support this system, Disney should be a level playing field for all to enjoy... not just only the ones with the most money.
@@Twinjeremy why? That’s the way America works
I don't like paying for it, but for guests like myself who are only able to come maybe once a year or less, this is helpful to make the most of your time by not standing in long lines when you could be doing other things.
I don’t care about paying more- time is money. However, needing a 20 min video to explain the system is concerning.
This seems to be an electronic version of the old ticket books.
Super useful Learned a lot You truly are a born teacher you explained everything so very well Thank you lots ❤
It’s a bit disappointing that they can only be used once per ride per day.

Thank you for this very clear explanation of how to use the new LL system, Josh! Your work on this is appreciated.
This was very easy to follow!

I’m definitely more of a visual planner, so this really is valuable to me!
Thanks for sharing Josh!
Thank you for your thorough overview on the lightning lane! Looks really complicated at first glance but you simplified it a lot, thank you! 🥰
Honestly, it's sad that we even have to have instructional videos.
They just keep changing the rules.
But glad RTV is on top of it 🥰
Still prefer fast pass, even if they charged a fee
In my mind, this is Fastpass Plus except that it’s not free and it books 3 or 7 days ahead instead of 30-60 days ahead.
Paying for the rides after the ticket means you’ve priced me out. Greed.
