Is this still the case?

It still works as of 2 weeks ago. Monsters Inc also worked.

Meaning Monsters Inc took the LL booked for later (and not the MEP)?

correct.
Just be aware that this can change at anytime.

You fish to get an MEP and that generally lets you use an LL before it's window. We did it last Nov, had an LL for tsmm but it didn't open on time which gave us the MEP. It allowed us to use the next LL we booked as soon as we booked it because it takes the LL when you tap in. As long as it takes the LL and not the MEP you can roll through LL all day even hopping, as long as the MEP is good for the ride you are using the LL on.

We finished out by using our MEP on JC since you can use it there even though it doesnt have LL. Made for a fun day when we hadn't planned to fish with our first one. I will try to in aug but I'm solo so easier to do and not feel like I'm wasting anything.

Thanks for this explanation! One question - what do you use to scan when you enter the ride? The MEP or the LL booked later?

The LL otherwise it'll use your MEP. We were using magicbands so didn't use the barcodes. I tried to fish the first weekend of aug but wasn't successful. Was solo and did all I wanted and then some without it though.

And the LL will still allow you in even though it’s booked for “later”? And if you use the magic band, it will just automatically use the LL?
Thanks again!

TSMM
Web Slingers

SILVER Tiers MEPs to look out for aka down quite a bit.

I usually fish for Gold MEPs, but will modify to a Silver if the return window begins soon.

The apps ticket barcodes and magic bands will automatically know what to scan.

Can I tell you a secret? Both of those barcodes are the same. They’re both your admission barcode.

Has this changed Recently?

While the same. Some Cast Members have freaked out when they noticed I was using my physical or on the app ticket barcode.

Since the LL Redeem button will not be ready when using the MEP, use the MEP barcode to ease the CMs confusion.
Or just use the Magic Bands.

Not sure you are reading my post correctly.

Not sure you are reading my post correctly.

I thought that Guardians and SM were also Golden Tier? Maybe this list is just saying which ones go down the most often, but when I read it, I thought it was supposed to be a comprehensive list of what is Golden Tier. When we were just there a few weeks ago, both SM and Guardians were golden tier. Just wanted to clarify if those two rides are no longer golden tier?

Correct go down most often.
GOLD Tier MEPs to look out for aka down quite a bit.
Space Mountain and Guardians are still GOLD tiers.

Thank you for the clarification.

Remind me what Golden and Silver Tier mean, please?

The Gold Tier are good for all the rides (except ILL), including other Gold Tier rides. The Silver Tier aren’t good for Gold Tier rides. So I can take my MEP from Indy almost anywhere, but my MEP from IASW is more limited (for example).
