Best video on this that I’ve seen ❤ thank you Nina. Love the tip to let a ride time expire 1st thing in morning to try n grab a 2nd tier 1 ride before they are gone
Most excellent and clear explanation for someone who never used the later versions of fast pass but used DAS during those years. Fast forward 10 years, and am finally going again! DAS is not going to be a thing with the changes, so I need to soak up all the knowledge. I will be awaiting any of your updates, as you really hit this one out of the park. Thanks, Mermaid Nina!
Problem can be when your window to book is here all the tier 1 rides can already be sold out for your park day from people who booked days before your time.
I am looking forward to seeing your video when this is actually live and how it will work. I just watched your genie+ videos for our future trip and felt ready lol. I hope this works out. Back on our 2018 trip I could not book FOP 60 days out- that is my biggest concern. Rides being booked up before my 7 day window opens. I know FOP is individual LL now but same idea with the most popular tier 1 rides. We do not purchase LL as a family of 5 it gets way to pricey.
True!! But the price will be different each day, each park so really...we won't know the exact price we will pay until its our day to purchase, if that makes sense. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I’m excited about the new system except that off site and on site don’t have the same amount of time to schedule. It seems like you should get the same perks if you are paying the same price for it.
Disney has always offered those staying on-site this perk. Its always been this way. Disney has great values and great prices which also give people the same perk.
@@MermaidNinaTravelsyes, I know that. But in the past the system was free. Now, if paying the same price for the same service, why make it better for some and not others?
Disney is having a difficult time filling their hotel rooms at their inflated prices, so they are offering this as an incentive to pay even more for this service. So now you pay for Multi-Pass AND you pay an extra $100-$400 a night to stay on property. Pretty slick.
Love your videos! We happen to be going to Magic Kingdom on July 25 after the switch happens. If young kids (under 36 inches) what Tier 1 and Tier 2 rides would you pick first? We are staying at a resort and usually try to jump on the most popular ride first before the park opens to save our Genie+ for another ride. It will be our first time at Magic Kingdom.
Such good info. And it brings the best (and worst lol) of fast pass and genie+ together. Can't wait for you pov video when you guys use this at thw park! I never got to use genie+ because i wasnt at disney when it was a thing but just because of your videos i felt so ready hahaha. And now with you im sure ill be ready for this when i go for my 40th birthday in 2026 haha
My ticket is for 9/6-9/10 so I’m assuming I can book 3 days in advance. It’s crazy I was just mentioning to Scout Ears that I spent so much time learning Genie Plus now I have to unlearn and learn the new Multi Pass Lightening Lanes. Thank you for a more detailed breakdown.
I really hope they'll have more rides available day off. Also scared all times available will be in the afternoon and you have to wait all day to use them when you're trying to hop but still cant book in that new park since you havent used your morning ones. I wonder if Disney/guest services will let you cancel your first 3 if they're all in the afternoon but you park hop.
We really won't know until about 2-3 weeks into the new system. They need to work out the kinks and get the ball rolling. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I’m looking forward to your video when this goes live! Ready to learn all that there is to know before our next trip! I was hoping they were going to change 7 dwarfs from individual lightning lane to a tier one for multi pass
Guess they have to do something, otherwise there would be like 7 rides in Tier 1 for Multi Pass. Still wish it was just ONE system of passes, but whatever, lol. Thanks for watching/commenting!
If you are a rope dropper & have the early entry for MK I would select Tiana & rope drop Peter Pan then by park open you have 2 top tier rides done or selected. I thought the same - select other rides ride after park opening to try for the other top tier rides.
YES! This was a previous FP technique but right now people RUN to 7 Dwarfs...so you have to pick, lol. So really, it depends on Ride Goals. Thanks for watching/commenting!
@MermaidNinaTravels I like the other hack you mentioned. Our 1st park day we will be driving in & won't get to EPCOT until 1PM. Book Remy for 2pm & book 2 others we don't really care about for park opening - let those expire & as we are driving book Frozen & then Soaring. So we enter the park with all 3 top tier rides.
Ohh, I was waiting for your video on this, I really like your explanations. Would you consider doing a video on the new DAS, maybe with feedback from guests you booked for? Edit: my husband said VPN should work with the app too, I'll report back in late October haha!
Awesome! Sadly due to the sensitive nature of DAS, I feel its best to discuss that with Disney during the Video Chat. Its really the ONE video that I think should stay off social media. Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@MermaidNinaTravels that's a good point. I'm just so nervous about possibly not getting it when we'd never have booked a Disney trip without it. At least we still have a few months so we'll be saving some more money for LL.
Our park day is July 25th, 2024. Will this new system be applicable to us? Are we purchasing on July 22nd or we can ONLY purchase on July 24th OR 25th? I'm so confused sorry
When park hopping, once you use a pass and are ready to book a new pass at your second park, does it have to be a ride in the same "tier" as the one you just used? So, if I use a pass for small world can I make my next pass for Frozen, or do I only get to choose from tier 2 rides?
I am keeping an open mind but i will miss the LL. I averaged 5-7 LL each time i purchased it, and i went to Disney 4 times last year. I will miss the abilities to STACK because i liked to go to the park later in the day as a solo guest.
so I don't have to use my first Tier1 ride before booking another Tier 1 ride? (I can use my lower tier ride first/scan into it then book a Tier 1 ride if available?)
wondering if I am going to two parks in one day due to a special event (halloween party, christmas party, etc.) will the system allow me to book rides in both parkseven tough I dont have a park hopper ticket? ...Since you can go into the parks at 4 with a party ticket, even though the party (no lightning lanes needed) doesn't officially begin until 7?
At this time, I assume its like Dining...might be split dates since split arrival dates. I never suggest Split Stays for this reason. We will find out soon enough, thanks for watching/commenting!
@@MermaidNinaTravels I was excited for our split stay this August between beach club and the poly. But I'm seeing how much of a hassle it is! Lol thank you for the info!
So let me ask if my 14 yr old and I want to ride Tiana Bayou around 9am but my husband and 8 yr old will not, husband is scared of heights and my 8 yr old it's not to fawn of big rides yet. Soooo in order to ride ut I have to select Tiana Bayou 7 days as we will be resort guest. Once the day if the park we can then modify so that both my husband and younger son can select Peter Pan for their first fancy ride if available? I know my husband will and young son will get on this ride only cause it's not as intense as Tiana Bayou. But just to confirm we can modify if ride us available? Second once we ride the first attractions we can now select another ride by my question is do we have to wait for the 120 minute rule? So let's say first ride at 9am, 2nd ride selected for 3pm and third ride selected for 7pm. So after riding the first ride I can automatically select a new ride without having to wait for the 120 minute rule?
@MermaidNinaTravels ohhhhh ok got it. Let me tell you I've watched different videos about it and left my head scratching, after watching your video it all made sense now lol thank you.
I’m not sure how to handle our toddlers that aren’t tall enough to ride. Hopefully we can preschedule single pass without paying for toddlers that can’t ride.
Best video on this that I’ve seen ❤ thank you Nina. Love the tip to let a ride time expire 1st thing in morning to try n grab a 2nd tier 1 ride before they are gone

Problem can be when your window to book is here all the tier 1 rides can already be sold out for your park day from people who booked days before your time.
True! Anything can happen with availability.
You are so great at explaining system 🏰

@@candacev.3802 Guess they need to give perks to Resort Guests as they are paying $$$ to stay on Property.
And guess what if you are not American you wont get any at all . Even if you are onsite

Question, how long apart should you book your first 3 rides?
100% depends on ride goals, location, etc. Some can be back to back and others might be later in the day. Thanks for watching/commenting!

YES, that is the hope. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Won’t they have to release the prices 7 days before July 24? Because that’s when people who stay on property will be able to buy multi passes?
I think July 24 is the first day, otherwise the date would be 7 days before July 24?? Thanks for watching/commenting!
I think 7/31/24 will be the first guest who actually get to book 7 days in advance. 7/24-7/30 do t get the full 7 days of advantage.
@@jmarkey86 I agree! July 24 is the start of the system, not the start of the 7 days.

@@kendrahanna8785 starts on 24, so 24
You can get 3 rides but the rides you want can be sold out when you go to book then. 7 days or 3 days. It can happen regardless
Always. Fastpasses were like this too. Don't know what will be available until its your time. Thanks for watching/commenting!

Yes, for those that mastered Genie+ - this will be a change. Thanks for watching/commenting!
My app works just fine here in France . They just deliberatedly block this
Really? Hmmm... Perhaps its the booking system for the passes? Sorry. Thanks for watching/commenting!
@@MermaidNinaTravels 10 years ago i could book fastpass +
Is a long name also. They should have kept the name (Genie +)
It is! If they kept the Genie+ name, then needed to change the LINE to Genie+ LINE to make it easy. Thanks for watching/commenting!
So if I'm park hopping do i just purchase for the first park in visiting? They're all different prices so i just want to make sure i plan accordingly.
Yep, the first park. Thanks for watching/commenting!
We still call them fast passes!
You are NOT alone in that, lol. Thanks for watching/commenting!
so I don't have to use my first Tier1 ride before booking another Tier 1 ride? (I can use my lower tier ride first/scan into it then book a Tier 1 ride if available?)
Yep, any pass.
Are those single lane rides available for virtual que?
VQ changes and is currently only available for 3 rides. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Will all areas of MK open at early entry w multipass or still only Tomorrowland and Fantasyland still?
I assume they will keep Rope Drop as is. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Where's Luc Besson's check?

How many rides can someone ride in a day without either of these?
All depends on how long the lines are at the rides you want.

I’m not sure how to handle our toddlers that aren’t tall enough to ride. Hopefully we can preschedule single pass without paying for toddlers that can’t ride.
You pay for whom are riding, ages 3+ - whoever isn't riding, don't pay. Easy as that. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Disney stay changing these names!! SMH.
They do. They either change the name or add a + sign, lol
