    I have an “after 2:00” 2-day ticket in June. Will I be eligible to purchase a Lightning Lane premier pass with that ticket? In the fine print, I noticed that some tickets may not qualify for Lightning Lane premier.

    Hey there, Heather!

    I’m absolutely delighted to welcome you back to planDisney! How exciting that you’ll be visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth during the summer season. My family makes it a tradition to visit each summer, and it’s something we always look forward to. There’s truly nothing like that summertime energy, and we love that there’s always something new to discover with every trip. 

    The Summer After 2 PM Ticket is such a great option if you enjoy a slower start to your day and like the idea of easing into the magic. You can take your time in the morning, then head to the parks feeling refreshed and ready for an afternoon and evening full of fun. These tickets are available in 2-day and 3-day options, with admission to one theme park per day.

    I personally love this choice because there’s just something extra special about being in the parks at night, especially during the summer. The atmosphere, the energy, and all the sparkling lights create a vibe that’s hard to top!

    If you’re considering purchasing the Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you absolutely can, just keep in mind that you won’t be able to start using it until 2 PM with this ticket. It’s such a fantastic way to elevate your day, giving you one-time access to each available Lightning Lane attraction in a single park. I love how flexible it is, since you can simply enjoy the rides you want, when you want, without worrying about scheduling return times. It really makes for a smooth, easygoing park day and can turn your visit into exactly the kind of Disney day you’ve been dreaming about. 

    Just a quick reminder that if you’re staying at a Disney Resort, you’ll be able to purchase your Lightning Lane passes starting 7 days before your check-in date, right in your My Disney Experience app. If you’re staying off property, you can make your purchase 3 days before your park visit instead.

    Heather, I hope this helps as you continue planning your trip. If you have any other questions, you're always welcome here at planDisney!
