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.
Guests should locate the FASTPASS machine of their choice (they are often close by the entrance to the ride) and put their park ticket into the machine. They will then get a freshly printed ticket that they can use later in the day.
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.
The Fastpass Plus Option
FASTPASS+ is a new upgraded model of the original system, which also gives guests a few remarkable perks.
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.
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, should the guests lose their ticket, they would have lost out on that experience as well as the time they need to wait to obtain a brand new pass. But with FASTPASS+, reservations may be checked in the system and changed with their reservations still in place.
