    I am visiting Disney from 3/10-3/13, but I'm only staying at a Disney resort hotel on 3/12. Can I buy Epcot tickets for 3/10 right now? When can I buy lightning pass premiere tickets? 3/3? Or now? Please let me know. Thanks very much.

    Welcome to planDisney, Chester! I’m so glad you stopped by with your question.

    It sounds like you’re gearing up for an exciting trip from March 10–13! Let’s break down your questions to make sure everything is crystal clear.

    First, yes, you can go ahead and buy your theme park tickets for the length of your trip at any time. There’s no need to wait! As for the Premier Pass, this new Lightning Lane product allows you to skip the standby line once at each attraction without having to make return time bookings. While it's a splurge, I've heard rave reviews about how much more efficient it makes your theme park days! Since you’ll be staying at a Disney Resort hotel on March 12, your booking window for March 12 and 13 will open 7 days in advance on March 5.

    For March 10 and 11 (when you’re not staying at a Disney Resort hotel), you can purchase your Premier Pass 3 days before each date. That means you’ll be able to purchase for March 10 starting on March 7, and for March 11 starting on March 8.

    If it works with your plans, you could consider adding a night or two at a Disney Resort hotel earlier in your trip so you can book for all days starting on March 3. Disney currently has a Special Offer on rooms during your dates, so it’s worth checking online or calling a Resort Reservation Specialist to see what’s available. 

    I hope this helps clear things up, Chester! Let me know if you have more questions, and I’ll be happy to help further. Take care!
