Dive into Fastpass

DIVE INTO FASTPASS

As the title suggests, this is all about Fastpass. Fastpass is a FREE virtual queuing system that saves time in the parks by limiting queuing time. It is a very simple system, which means that you can go off and experience other attractions and then come back to the attraction with a very short wait. Here is how it works;
  1. Go to an attraction that has Fastpass machines for that attraction
  2. Insert all of the park tickets of members of the group that wish to go on the attraction.
  3. Your tickets will be returned along with passes which have a time slot in which to return.
  4. Return within your time slot and get in the Fastpass queue, which will get you onto the ride usually in under ten minutes!
What you do have to look out for is the time in which you can return. There are only a certain amount of Fastpasses available for each attraction, and this may mean that your allocated time slot is a few hours away! An easy way to prevent this is to look at the clocks above the Fastpass machines. These clocks will tell you the time when you will be able to return to the attraction. Also bear in mind that you can only hold one Fastpass at a time.



Not all attractions have the Fastpass system; only the major rides. These are the attractions which presently allow Fastpass tickets.
