From the Thrill-Data website: "This graph indicates Lightning Lane availability at Walt Disney World. A non-gray color indicates that Genie+ Lightning Lane or Individual Lightning Lane can be purchased, and the return time. Greener colors indicate return times earlier in the day were available; orange to red indicates return times later in the day were available. Hover over items to see the current return time in 24 hour decimal notation. "
I would anticipate yes re: grabbing times before takeoff for attractions where LL fill quickly. E.g. We wanted an afternoon for SDD. I was online right at 7AM, pulled down to refresh my screen twice (so maybe 10 seconds total?) and already times were in the afternoon. I grabbed one at approx 7:00:10 and got a return time after 3:00PM. Hopefully you'll be able to get afternoon for Jungle Cruise but it will depend on the day as it doesn't fill as quickly as SDD does. Just keep trying is my only suggestion. Sorry.
That is a great explanation- thank you!
After you double-tap or any time after that you can try for a new G+. Most do it right away because of the high demand.
That is going to be complicated because the new G+ system does a very poor job of you giving you a choice on when to ride. That you can get a G+ split (2 people each for 2 rides) both ToT and RnR at the same window (or for any two rides, for that matter) will be virtually impossible.
Thanks. Appreciate the advice.
Also make sure you understand the 2 hour rule for getting a FP. It is either that or the double-tap on the most recently reserved ride, whichever is first.
Right. So if I have a ride for LL for 10:45 (that I made at 7am). Park opens at 8:30. I enter park and at 10:30 I can make a new LL (2 hour rule) then I tap in at 10:45 and I can make another?
No, once you make a new LL, your next time to make one will be tied to that most recently made one (so after you double tap into the one you make at 1030 or at 1230, whichever is earliest)
Post 5 of the Everything Genie thread explains it clearly. It was what I used as my guide when we went last month and it worked really well.
Back in October and early November, you could indeed have made new LL reservations at the 2-hour mark and upon later tap-in. However, it was pretty obviously an unintended loophole. Disney got around to fixing it shortly before Thanksgiving. Beware any videos and blogposts about Genie+ that were made in October. The system has changed since then.
These boards are amazing! Not only are they informative, but they get me so excited for the trip! Thanks.
Usually when I see TT I think Test Track (at Epcot) but I think you mean Tower to Terror (usually I see ToT for that).
Thanks for that! We'll see how it goes. My 4 year old is now tall enough to ride most of the rides at HS. Unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll be able to fit in both ToT (sorry I put TT, good call!) and Slinky dog in the same day which is a bummer. Maybe she will end up not liking one of them on the first go and make our planning easier lol
