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 is going to be valid for a set time during the guests stay in the park. The guest should return at some point in the one hour range printed on the ticket to get around the regular line and go right 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.
Information regarding the new FASTPASS+
Fastpass plus is a recently revised form of the original system, and offers a few excellent advantages.
To begin with, events can be booked right before the guests trip. This would permit them to choose their desired options earlier without having to worry about missing their favorite attraction. It could also lead to eliminating the necessity of visiting a park extremely early to pick up a pass for several of the more popular rides.
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 existing system, in the event that the guest loses their ticket, they will have lost out on that ride including the time that they need to wait to get hold of a replacement. However with FASTPASS+, their reservations can be searched in the system and changed with their reservation still registered.
