What is a stand by line?

[Dillonmommy]

I saw some info about standby lines & fastpasses on touringplans.com.
Can someone clarify it for me?

Thanks

The standby line is the regular line.
The FastPass line is sort of an appointment. You put your pass into a machine that issues you a card with a return time. That allows you to get into the FastPass line, which is way shorter than the standby line, usually.
