How does Disney's Fastpass Plus Work?

By Jacob Smith


In this article I'll give details on how the Fastpass system works, in addition to specifics about precisely how the new fastpass plus system will work.

How does the system operate?

Much different from Universal, Disney do not charge for their front of the line privileges. A valid park ticket is the only thing the guest needs to obtain one, which is included upon entry.

The guest should then find the distribution machines for their chosen attraction (not all qualify), commonly nearby the entrance to the ride, slip a current park ticket into the machine then simply collect the newly printed FASTPASS ticket!

The ticket will be valid for some time later in the day. The guest should then return at some point in the 60 minute period printed on the pass in order to bypass the normal line and so go straight to the front!

However please bear in mind that Disney have in recent times modified their rules while going back with a ticket. In the good ol' days, guests were able to return anytime after their FASTPASS had started. Sadly, recently Cast Members (Disney employees) appear to have been given specific instructions to enforce the stated return time period.

Details About Fastpass plus.

FASTPASS+ is a new upgraded model of the original system, which also gives guests a few remarkable perks.

To start with, events may be arranged before a holiday. This can potentially enable individuals to choose their ideal offerings well in advance without having to worry about missing a certain ride. There can also be way less of a need to head to the park incredibly early to obtain a pass for a number of the popular attractions.

Second, FASTPASS+ is a really flexible system. The guest may even change out their return time or experience (if available) right up until the time of their experience. In case they forget the return range, with the old system they may have lost out. But with the newly refurbished system guests are able to re-book for a later available time.

With the old system, if the guests lose their ticket, they will have lost out on that attraction combined with the time they would be required to wait to acquire a new one. However with FASTPASS+, tickets are looked up in the system and swapped with the reservations still in tact.
