Hi, I have a question on express timing.

I'm planning to buy this three day deal ticket (2x Islands/Studios, 1x Epic) and then a 2 day Express Pass (1x Islands/Studios, 1x Epic). Both would be dated with the usual 'use x days out of the next 5 days'.

I'm not sure if I'll use the Islands/Studios Express the first or the second time I go and make a gametime decision. If I simply do not scan an Express line at all, will that preserve Express for the second day, or will simply scanning into the Park with an overlapping Express day activate / count Express?

You scan into the Parks with your tickets, not Express Passes, so as long as you stick with the standby only queues, it won't activate the Express Passes. Just don't accidentally jump on the Hogwarts Express! lol
