Fast Pass at Disney
Florida Guide > Disney Parks
All Disney parks now operate a FastPass system which is FREE OF
CHARGE to use and we highly recommend taking advantage of this.
The more popular attractions have the FastPass option and you will
find a list of these in the maps/time booklets you pick up from the park or at
local supermarkets or restaurants etc.
How to use them : Each FastPass attraction will have two displays of
time, the first an approximate waiting time if you were to enter the attraction
right there and then. The second display of time indicates the window of time
for a return visit if you were to take advantage of the FastPass. Now
you have to make a choice, if the wait is acceptable then go ahead and enjoy the
attraction. If the wait is longer than you feel you want to wait, then go to
the FastPass machines and insert your park admission ticket into the
machine and receive a FastPass coupon with a time range to return. Most
give you about a half hour slot to return but more popular attractions only give
15mins. Most of the machines are near the entrance and easy to spot, there is
usually a Cast Member around if you get confused or into difficulties.
Unfortunately, you are not be able to request a specific time. The time you
are assigned and is printed on your FastPass coupon is the time you will
be admitted to the FastPass line for that attraction. Go to the
FastPass queue at your allocated time and you generally only have a 5 minute
wait at best and you pass by all the poor people in the normal queue! Funnily
enough, they never wave to you as you breeze passed! Each FastPass
coupon equals one admission to that attraction so each member of your family
must get one if you are going to ride together. Your FastPass will be
collected as you enter the attraction so have it ready to pass to the Cast
Member. (If an attraction breaks down during the time you were to return you
will be admitted to the FastPass line anytime later on during the day
once the attraction is back up and running).
Your FastPass expires after the time printed on your FastPass
coupon. For example, if your coupon states a return time of between 1:00pm and
2:00pm and you arrive at 2:10pm you will not be admitted to the FastPass
line.
The computer system has recently been upgraded to allow guests to be issued a
second ticket within 45 minutes of the first one depending on guest demand. It
is now possible for a guest to be issued two FastPass tickets within the
space of an hour and attend both rides within that timeframe. Apparently,
processing power prevented the previous system from keeping track of what
tickets had been already used.
You really have to take advantage of this system and this will ensure you
enjoy all the rides you want to during the day. However, if the parks are
quiet, the FastPass option does not operate, so if there are no
FastPass times showing, this indicates you have picked a nice quiet day to
visit!
