Express Passes

[FreeTime]

How many attractions have Express Pass? These are similiar to Fast Passes and are offered to everyone, right? Will we regret not staying onsite in midJune? Can someone give me apprx wait times?

Thanks

Most of the attractions have Express Pass. Pteradon Flyers at IOA does not. Yes, they work like Fast Pass and yes, like Fast Pass, they sometimes run out of them during busy times. You can also buy the Express Plus pass which gives you one express access to each attraction. Staying on site is so wonderful. Besides the FOTL, the hotels are great and are so close to the parks.

Also, you can only get 1 express pass (free ones) every 2 hours.. that goes for both parks.

the express passes ( like fast passes ) seem to be more limited than disney.... we were there last week (busy, busy) we stayed on site again and felt like v.i.p.'s all day....after dinner we went back to ioa and rode spiderman....we were on at 9:00 p.m with someone who got express pass at noon.....don't think it will be as busy but fotl is priceless....everyone in your party has a better vacation! remember 1 nt on site hotel / both days fotl!

Express / FOTL wait times less than 20 minutes ( sometimes walk on )
Eater week mummy 80 minutes wait - express 10
spiderman 75 minute wait - express 5 - 15 min
riverride 60 minute wait express 10
MIB 75 minute wait express 15

We opened parks / did lots of rides early / shows in afternoon / back to hrh for afternoon swim / city walk for dinner/ few rides in evening.

also on site you get reduced wait time at restuarants at city walk.

i never want to change hotels but it is worth it.
