Disney's FASTPASS

FASTPASS Attractions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have more than one FASTPASS ticket at the same time?

• No, only one Fastpass ticket can be held at a time. Your ticket will advise as to when another ticket for any FASTPASS attraction can be picked up, usually at the start time of this ride slot. However, it is possible to hold a FASTPASS Ticket for a Disneyland Park attraction and a Walt Disney Studios Park attraction at the same time, if you fancy a spot of park-hopping.

Can one person collect FASTPASS Tickets for the whole group?

• Yes, all you need are the Park Tickets of all those who wish to ride (including children). We recommend, however, that you don't try to pick up more than 3 or 4 tickets at once, as this can prove frustrating for the people waiting behind! In this case, why not split the tickets between two of you?

Could I pick up an extra FASTPASS Ticket using the Park Ticket of someone in my group who doesn't want to ride?

• Yes, FASTPASS Tickets can be used by anyone, it doesn't matter whose Park Ticket was used to pick them up. Again, though, always consider other guests and don't abuse this free time-saving service.

What if I arrive late for my FASTPASS timeslot?

• If you arrive later than your half-hour ride period, it depends very much on the attending Cast Member whether you'll still be allowed to ride. Technically, you should not be allowed entry, but some Cast Members, particularly if the attraction is quiet, will overlook a few minutes and let you through. Whatever they decide is final, however, so please don't cause a scene!

What if I arrive early for my FASTPASS timeslot?

• If you're only a matter of minutes early, you may be allowed entry. However, in most cases you'll be asked to step back and wait outside the FASTPASS entrance area until your timeslot officially begins. This is in the interest of keeping the flow of guests through the FASTPASS queue constant and regulated, meaning the wait times are as low as possible.

The current timeslot changes every few minutes as tickets are taken - what if our group end up with tickets for different times?

• Don't worry, the timeslots only change by five minutes with each cycle, not by half-hours. So a timeslot of 12:15 - 12:45 will be followed by 12:20 - 12:50. Therefore, your groups' tickets will only be five minutes later, and you will be able to co-ordinate a return at the same time.

Why isn't FASTPASS available for Crush's Coaster?

• This incredibly popular Toon Studio roller coaster has dabbled with a few FASTPASS tests of varying sizes since its opening in 2007, but the decision was ultimately made not to offer the service.
• Why? Because this relatively small attraction was never designed with the system in mind. Its hourly capacity is too low, meaning devoting a segment of this to FASTPASS would make its regular queue time unbearable. At the same time, so few FASTPASS tickets would be able to be given out that they'd be gone within hours at the start of each day and, once you'd entered the attraction, you'd still face a reasonably long wait, even with FASTPASS.

Why don't they just offer FASTPASS for everything?

• Like everything, FASTPASS is wonderful in moderation, on the larger attractions with a big enough capacity to support it, but adding it to too many attractions would cause major problems. In fact, the Paris resort has been very smart with its timid rollout of the system, unlike the two Amercian resorts which added FASTPASS to so many attractions that it later had to be scaled back quite heavily.
• Imagine it: those thousands of people, usually waiting calmly in the queue lines of every attraction, are now out, wandering the park, looking for something to do to pass the time before their next ride slot. The park's pathways would become overcrowded, unsafe, and unpleasant. The queues are a necessary downside to the popularity of Disneyland, which is why the Imagineers who design the parks always try to make the wait as entertaining as possible.
