Hello! This actually happened to us in Hollywood Studios. I don't know if this is what "normally" is supposed to happen, but it was our experience. Our first LLMP was for the Aerosmith coaster just after the official park opening, but it was down before the park even opened. We were there for early entry and rode a few other attractions hoping that the coaster would get fixed, but unfortunately it didn't open until mid afternoon. Just shy of an hour before the end of our LLMP window for the coaster, we automatically received a redemption pass which then opened us up to book other attractions. We could have gone to the Guest Experience tent and have them do that for us earlier in our ride window (you are correct Craig, we later heard that they could have fixed that), but we choose not to do that for two reasons. One, we were already in the back of the park and the wait times were not too bad. Second, the closest tent to us was not very close, and honestly we experienced multiple ride delays during our stay and the lines at the tents were filled with angry people that were never short; so for us, we didn't want to waste the time standing in line at the tent to get that fixed....we used to time to be in line for a ride. My thought is that if the tent is close and you want to ride another popular attraction with your LLMP, then I would go to the tent. I think that it is a tough call especially first thing in the morning because the later you tap in, the harder it becomes to get a LL for the popular rides, so know where the tents are and cross your fingers that the line is short! Also, I'm not certain why, but the Guest Experience tents in the AK weren't blue. They had on blue shirts, but the tent wasn't blue. We thought that they were all blue and passed one in that park several times until be actually read the top of the tent 😀

Again I don't have anything to compare it to and want to say that we did have a wonderful time and are happy to have gotten to experience it once. We had amazing views/memories/pictures of the fireworks and parade (thanks to Rob!), however if asked if we would spend the money for this event in the future, unfortunately our answer would be absolutely not. We were lucky enough to be able to park hop into the MK about 2 hours before the party goes were able to get in. In those 2 hours we shopped a bit, ate at the spring roll cart, and rode Big Thunder Railroad, the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, the People Mover, and Tomorrowland Speedway. Since we only planned on seeing the fireworks and the second parade (the weather was good) and we didn't have plans to stand in any meet and greet lines, we assumed that we would be able to get a lot done but were mistaken. We didn't have to go back to the front of the park for our bands/ornaments, but experienced quite a long line and wait. We only stopped to eat once during the event (the lasagna flatbread) at a quick service....long line. We stood in two lines for photos (magic shots), but not only were the lines long, it took a lot of time to just manuever through the crowd to get to the photospots. We only ever made it to two of the "free" cookie spots. We did ride Tron three times, however the wait times were 25 min., 30 min. and 45 minutes respectively. We wanted to ride it for the fourth time, but the wait was 65 minutes which was no shorter than any time that entire week. We were able to ride a few other rides including Space Mountain and the Tomorrowland Speedway again during the event for the overlays. My thought if you are going with children would be that unless Rob has some amazing strategy, you would have to prioritize what you want to do. If the crowd that we experienced is "normal" for a paid event, then I cannot imagine how you would ever be able to get a good spot for Frozen, the parade and the fireworks, in addition to standing in line to meet Santa, maybe some other character meet and greets, eat, get "free" snacks, shop, and ride any rides.

Just wanted to follow up in case anyone had this question. I was able to wear my eyeglasses on Tron. I did however purchase a glasses strap, but don't think it would've been an issue on any of the rides at Disney. I think the holder was a bit more useful at Universal on their larger coasters.

Just wanted to follow up on this. I went ahead and rode Mission Space and then went to a cast member and honestly explained the situation. They stated that my husband could just tap in so that it would free us up to make other reservations. I then asked if I could ride in his place and they said I could...it was my lucky day! I don't know if it was because there wasn't a long wait for the ride or if it was because I was being honest, but it worked out for us.

Just to be clear, you purchase the LL pass for the park you plan on starting in. Once you tap into your first ride you can use that same pass to reserve something in another park if you are planning to park hop? If this is true, that could be cheaper than the old multi pass if you plan on starting in the AK then hop to the MK correct?

Heigh Ho...and thank you for your help! One more question about Jollywood Nights. Has Disneyworld offered Fantasmic dining package on those event days?

Once it goes into effect, please include how or if these changes impact strategies surrounding rope drop in the various parks. Thank you😀

Rob, Can't wait to see a new video of how this works for you!
