Express Pass print out at home question

[rstamm]

I have never bought the express pass and wanted to know if I bought it and printed it out at home, what do I do with it?

Will I still need to have it redeemed somewhere?

If I have to have it redeemed I might as well wait till I get to the park and buy it there.

We usually stay on-site but will only be able to do one day, we are making a quick trip in mid August and it seems reasonable for $30.99 since there is only 2 of us.

Anyone who has bought this pass at home or at the park, please let me know how you did it.

Thanks!

You take it straight to the turnstiles and do not need to redeem it anywhere. It can save you a long wait in line.

So just that paper off your printer is your ExpressPass... Isn't it supposed to be something that they can scan? If I did this, my paper printout would be scan-able.

That is surprizing!

I am wondering if we will need passes when we go.. It will be a day or two after Memorial Day.. I don't know if the crowds die down after the long Memorial Weekend or not? I sure hope so!!!

Yes...that paper is your Express pass but you can exchange it at Guest Services...if you wanted. Also...I would wait and purchase the EP once you're there as you can't get a refund once purchased. If you get there early, you should be able to do some of the bigger rides before the crowds show up. Then if the lines start getting out of hand, you can purchase the EP at most stores at either park.

Thanks for the responses, I like that you can use your printout for the rides.

I don't want to wait at guest services, last Summer the line was at least a hour long there.

I already have my park tickets and want to hit the rides as soon as I get there, since I only will have one day to do both parks.

It will be super hot when I go, so I would rather pay the $60 and not wait in line.

That's a very good strategy.
