The number one complaint from people about visiting a theme park is "waiting in line". Disney is one step ahead with something they call "Fastpasses". Fastpasses are FREE and included with everyone's admission. All you need is a ticket into a park in order to obtain a fastpass. A fastpass will allow you to enter a separate line that is much smaller than the regular line for that particular attraction. Not all attractions offer fastpasses but most of the popular rides have them. Now how do you get one? Follow these tips:
- As you approach the attraction, there will be three lines. One will be the regular stand by line, one will be the fastpass return line and one will be the fastpass distribution line. The distribution line is where you will retrieve your fastpass to be used later on. Before you go up to the machines, you will see a fastpass return time listed above this area. This is the time that you will get to come back. If it doesn't work for you, then you don't have to get one.
- You take your park ticket and insert it into the machine. The machine will then spit out a fastpass and then your ticket will come back out as well. You have to do this for each individual ticket you want to obtain a fastpass for (even children's tickets). Once you have your fastpasses, go ahead and enjoy the rest of the park until it's time to return to go on this attraction. Your time to return will be an hour window so you will have plenty of time to get back to that ride.
- There are clocks above the fastpass return line so you will be able to tell when your time has come. show your fastpass to the cast member in the line and proceed through a much shorter, much quicker wait. You will have to hand over your fastpass eventually throughout the line.
- You can obtain more than one fastpass at a time. There are two deciding factors in when you can get another fastpass. It will either be when that fastpass's return time has come into play or 2 hours after you got that fastpass (whichever is first). The time will be listed on your fastpass as to when you can pick up another one.
So there you have it. Fastpasses are your FRIEND! You can get so much more done in a day if you utilize them to your advantage.
