Nothing takes the happy out of a vacation than standing in lines. Even though in future posts I will be giving you ideas to help make standing in lines a happy experience I do know that the best line is a short line. Disney knows this also. That is why they invented FASTPASS.
Many of the attractions at the Disney parks have two lines. One is the regular line that anyone can use at any time. The other is the FASTPASS line. Only people with the correct time on their FASTPASS ticket get to use this line. The FASTPASS line gets you on the attraction much faster than the regular line. Cool, huh?
You don’t have to be famous or royalty to use the FASTPASS line. If an attraction offers FASTPASS then there will be a FASTPASS kiosk nearby. You stick your admission ticket in the machine and a FASTPASS ticket comes out. You can only get one FASTPASS ticket at a time with each admission ticket. Each FASTPASS ticket has a start time and an end time. Between those times you may access the attraction using the FASTPASS line. Super cool, huh?
While waiting for your FASTPASS time to arrive you can enjoy other attractions or get something to eat. There is no point in standing around the FASTPASS attraction waiting to get in the FASTPASS line. If you want to do that you could have just stood in the regular line and been unhappy.
So use FASTPASS. It is a great way to see more of the parks in less time. Want to learn more? Click HERE for more information.
Goofy Tip: Sometimes the kiosks are hidden and the machines do wonky things. There is usually a cast member in the area. Ask them for help before you get so frustrated that you want to kick the machine.
