We present Chandra X-ray observations of six previously identified Peter Pan objects, rare ∼40 Myr systems with evidence of primordial disk retention. We observe X-ray luminosities (0.8-3.0 keV) ranging from log L_x ∼ 27.7-29.1. We find that our Peter Pan sample exhibits X-ray properties similar to that of weak-lined T Tauri stars and do not exhibit evidence of stellar accretion induced X-ray suppression. Our observed Peter Pan X-ray luminosities are consistent with that measured for field dM stars of similar spectral type and age, implying their long primordial disk lifetimes are likely not a consequence of unusually faint X-ray host stars. Our derived X-ray photoevaporative mass-loss rates predict our systems have passed the point of rapid gas dispersal and call into question the impact of this internal mechanism for primordial disk dispersal around dM stars. Our qualitative assessment of the surrounding Peter Pan environments also does not predict unusually low levels of external photoevaporation relative to other respective moving group members. Overall, our results suggest Peter Pan disks may be a consequence of the low far-UV flux incident on the disk in low-mass dM stars given their relatively lower levels of accretion over the course of their pre-main-sequence evolution.
