Hi Robert!
Thanks for bringing another great question our way. I'm happy to help explain the ins and outs of
Lightning Lane Passes.
As you know, guests can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and schedule return times for 3 attractions per park per day. Each park, with the exception of
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, currently utilizes attraction groupings. Guests can schedule all 3 selections from the Group Two options, or select 1 experience from Group One and 2 from Group Two. You'll be able to make additional selections from any group upon redeeming one of the initial 3, subject to availability, at that time.
Let's say you decide to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass for
Magic Kingdom Park and choose
Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean to start. Once you redeem one of those selections you will be free to schedule a return time at
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, if available, even if you have not already redeemed your experience at Space Mountain. If you have Park Hopper Option tickets, you'll also be able to schedule Multi Pass experiences one at a time at any of the other parks for the same day, after redeeming one of your initial 3 selections.
Now, I can't guarantee availability for a particular ride or time, but you'll be able to review all your options on the day of your visit. I recommend making at least one selection as early in the day as possible so you can begin scheduling additional return times as soon as you've redeemed a selection.
I hope this clears up any confusion, Robert. If we can answer additional questions or provide further clarification please don't hesitate to come back and let us know.
Magic and memories,
Amy
