Question I will be arriving on 2/20 around 2pm, was planning on going to Epcot. I wanted to buy Lighting Lane with added Cosmic Rewind.
This is the fist time using lightning lane, can I adjust the times for the rides for late afternoon? After 3pm or is the choices that flexible?
Or is my arrival time too late to make it worth purchasing lightning lane? Any thoughts are helpful thank you.
 
You can PURCHASE lightning lane at 7am either 3 days prior to park visit if offsite or 7 days prior to check in if staying onsite.

Yes you can adjust the times to be in the afternoon.

Its definiitely worth buying if you're not getting there first thing in the morning since you will have less time to wait in long lines.
 
With LLMP and LLSP you choose your attraction LL times. When you book you can select times after you plan to be in the park.

Since you will not be tapping into your first LL until later in the day, it will be highly unlikely that you will be able to secure a second Tier 1 LL as they will very likely be booked for the entire day.

Just something to think about when considering the cost.
 
FYI - I have seen Soarin LL available later in the afternoon early evening. If you do end up buying LL I would suggest initially getting the top tier of Remy or Frozen and hopefully you can get lucky to also grab Soarin too when you arrive in the park. That will knock out 2 of the three top tier rides.

Thanks for this! I had forgotten Soarin’ is a Tier 1. Great advice!

Keep in mind, Remy has single rider line. So if you can't pull a LL for it (as it's a Tier 1), you always have the single rider option.
