    I plan to book lightning lanes in advance for our entire party. But once we scan into our first ride, would we be able to book lightning lanes separately? Like one family book something for them and the other family book another ride?

    Hi Ashlee!

    Welcome to planDisney!  Thanks for stopping by with such a great question about Lightning Lane passes during your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort!   I just recently returned from a trip with my family, which includes kids ranging from teen to toddler.  Not everyone in our party always wanted to do the same rides and attractions, so I'm happy to share with you a bit more about how you can customize your day with Lightning Lane Multi Pass!

    Ashlee, like you, we selected three attractions that everyone would enjoy as our initial three pre-arrival selections.  One of my best tips when booking your first three is to be sure that you select at least one attraction return time that is at the beginning of your park day.  "Tapping" into that first ride will unlock your ability not only to add an additional Lightning Lane from available attractions but you'll also be able to make that selection from another park if you are planning to park hop that day!  At EPCOT, Magic Kingdom Park, and Disney's Hollywood Studios, you'll also notice that rides are broken into groups, and you can only choose one attraction from group one before arriving.  After using your first Lightning Lane, you can then modify other selections for that day for another group one attraction if they are still available.  

    Throughout the remainder of your day in the park, you'll be able to select from other available Lightning Lane attractions with the "use one, get one" benefit of Lightning Lane Multi Pass.  Each time you make a selection from your My Disney Experience Mobile App, you can confirm both the party and your selected return time.  The app will likely recognize that you have been making plans together, and your entire group may be the default selection, but you can view the list and "uncheck" those that you don't want to be included in your next choice.  Even if you've made all of the pre-arrival selections for everyone, any person in your party with their own account and the app, should be able to manage their attraction choices throughout the day and make plans for others on the shared Family and Friends List.  

    Ashlee, I hope this information has been helpful and that you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort!  If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!

    Cheers,
    Kristi
