For each day of your trip you can select an arrival window for up to 3 experiences. You can modify your selections as well. Once you redeem a multi pass experience (i.e. ride the ride) you can make another selection and have up to 3 passes at any given time. If you have the Park Hopper Option for your ticket you can make selections in another Walt Disney World theme park after you have used your first pass.

You can purchase only one single pass per experience and you pay based on the experience and demand for that attraction.
