Help with purchasing two-day ticket for Plitvice Lakes

Hi forum friends! Has anyone recently purchased a two-day ticket for Plitvice Lakes and if so, what time did you choose?

I've done so much research--and everyone's past experience on the forum has been very helpful!--and most people have said to arrive in the afternoon, see a little bit of the park, sleep near the park, and then arrive at the opening time the following day to see the rest. (It seems like this plan is the best for avoiding the big tourist buses mid-day).

If this is the case, should I book a two-day ticket? And if so, should I just put the time when I plan to arrive on Day 1? Or do you think it's best to buy two one-day tickets so I can choose the specific times for each day? (Currently on the site, I am only able to choose the time for Day 1, so I am worried I won't be able to arrive at 8:00 am on Day 2 and be allowed in).

*Note: I'm not planning on staying at one of the hotels in the park, so I'll need to re-enter the park each day.

I'm using this website:

Thank you in advance for the help!

In 2019 we purchased the two-day ticket. We chose our entry time (4:00PM) for our first day. You can pick up your tickets 30 minutes in advance. I checked my planning notes and it looks like we did not have to choose an entry time for the second day. We were on the trail by 9;15AM. So I assume you do not have to choose an entry time for the second day. I hope this helps.

Kmkwoo, just wanted to say thank you for your reply! I actually got in touch with our hotel and they did confirm what you had already told me: when choosing a two-day ticket, pick the time for the first day. I appreciate the help!
