During this post I'll reveal everything that a guest will need to understand about the ways the fastpass system at Walt Disney World operates, including specifics of exactly how the brand new fastpass plus system will work.
How does the system operate?
Unlike Universal and SeaWorld, Disney do not charge for their "skip the line" option. To get their hands on one of these time saving tickets, all the guest needs is a valid park ticket, which will be included in their park ticket price.
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 pass will be valid for some point later in the day. The guest should go back during the one hour window printed on their pass in order to avoid the standard line and go straight to the front!
Unfortunately, Disney have recently altered their policies when coming back with a ticket at The Walt Disney World Resort Parks. In the good old days, the guests were able to come back at any time after the time frame had began. Regrettably, now Disney park employees have been given strict rules to enforce the printed return time period.
The Fastpass Plus Option
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.
Next, FASTPASS+ is a completely flexible system. The guests could switch out the return time or experience (if available) before they redeem their experience. In the event they miss the return window, with the older system they might have simply lost out. However with the newer system it is easy to re-book for a later offered 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.
