Fast Pass Wait Times

[WaterLinds]

We had pretty bad luck last year, it seemed like at least half the FP Lines were 20 minutes or more. FOP, KS, and Buzz were definitely the longest. (FOP was partly the line, but mostly problems with the preshow—the theatre we were supposed to enter broke down, so they had to evacuate us and take us to another theatre, which meant sitting through the WHOLE preshow a second time—I think it took us an hour total?). There just seemed to be a lot of technical difficulties on that trip (sitting still for 10 minutes on Small World was a notable one!).

Hoping for the luck others describe this week!

I would say 10 minutes

Typically it's 5 minutes, at the most perhaps 10 minutes.

The only time I've waited more than that was for Buzz and FOP. Buzz is always has the FP queue filled along with it always being partially outside, typically a 15, at tops 20 minute wait. The only time I did FOP in FP I had to wait 45, including preshows. Which the preshows aren't long, but feel like it as I'd rather look through the queue for the duration of the preshows, than watch the preshows since the preshows are my least favorite part of the whole experience.

This is because it is variable and highly dependent on the CM's judgement call, meaning there is no specific ratio, just to try to keep both queues moving at a reasonable pace.

I have counted a few times when I was in standy for Frozen Ever After. The magical number *seems* to be 10:1 fast pass line
so if they let 2 families of 4 come through the standby, they'd then let *around* 80 people come through fast pass before going back to standby. This isn't to say this is all the time, just what I observed

trying to plan my days but I am curious how long are the wait times in the fast pass lines?
We have
AK FOP, KS, EE
MK#1 SDMT, PPF, Buzz lightyear
MK#2 JC, PoC, TM
HS SDD, ToT, RRC
Epcot TT, Seas w Nemo, SE

I'm not sure how long to allow for wait times for the FP

I don’t think I’ve ever waited more than 10 minutes in a FP line except for maybe FOP which was 15 min max and I might even be misremembering that because of how long the two holding rooms are.
