    How soon can i purchase a premier pass if im not staying in orlando in general?

    Greetings, Julieta!

    Welcome to planDisney! Lightning Lane Premier Pass is the ultimate time saver that comes with a whole lot of flexibility. You'll pick your preferred park and have access to a one-time entry to each Lightning Lane that is offered. No need to select return times or worry about your favorite attraction not having any more time slots for the day! 

    Guests who are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel can purchase a Premier Pass up to 3 days before their visit, even if they are not staying in the Orlando area. Purchases can be made beginning at 7 AM ET, so set that alarm. This pass can be quite popular, so you will want to consider securing your pass as soon as that purchase window opens. 

    Pro tip: You can buy Lightning Lane Single Pass in addition to Premier Pass. This means you can ride some of your favorite attractions twice, with minimal wait. For example, if you are purchasing Premier Pass for EPCOT and want to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind twice in hopes of getting your favorite song, you can add a Single Pass too! 

    We'll see ya real soon!
