Fastpass info...updated to reflect dismembers input :)

[SeansMom]

I finally located some of my notes from the 2006 trip. Is this still true? Or do I need to change my notes?



The following Disneyland rides have fast pass:
Space Mountain (SM)

Splash Mountain (Splash)

Indiana Jones (Indy)

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (BTMRR)

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters (BLAB)
Autopia
Haunted Mansion during holiday season

Roger Rabbit (RR) -rk

, currently in rehab
The following DCA rides had Fastpass:


Soarin' Over California (Soarin')

Tower of Terror (ToT)

Grizzly River Run (GRR)

California Screamin'

This is my understanding: WOC doesn't "count" as a fastpass (it's more like a ticket distributed by a fastpass machine).

You can hold more than one fastpass:
Example one...you get a fastpass for Indiana Jones at 10:00 am with a return time of 2:00 pm. TWO hours after you get your first fastpass, you can get a second one to any fastpass ride.

Example two...you get a fastpass for Indiana Jones at 10:00 am with a return time of 11:00 am. You can then get another fastpass anytime after 11:00 am.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is my memory from 4 years ago.

GRR is now connected

RR may be connected. I am not sure if this is confirmed or not...

You also need to add WOC World of Color Fastpass. Though it is more like a ticket to a show than a fastpass...

Thanks for the info!

Where is the WOC fastpass located?

I second that RR may be or may not be connected. There is limited information that it is but it's been in rehab almost two month and thus nobody has been able to confirm it.

Also MM does not exist but GSS Goofy's Ski School will likely have it when it reopens in the spring.


As far as Buzz being weekend only. All FP locations are open or closed based on rider traffic, and Buzz isn't always busy like Space.


Also you are missing Autopia.

Thanks for the info!

Where is the WOC fastpass located?

At the GRR location. About half way through the day, half of the FP machines are sitched to GRR in the morning they are all for WoC.

Thanks! Now I know where to get my WOC fastpass as well .

For the WOC you want to arrive 40 min early of when DCA opens to get the FP.

One aproach is on days where DL has opened earlier and everyone has entered the DL park. Then one runner can go over to DCA and collect the FP while others enjoy DL...

All people must have entered at least one of the parks before the person runs for FP or this will not work...

Excellent tip! I didn't know it would work if we didn't all enter the (second) park together.

I'm getting so excited!!!

I can confirm BOTH were connected in August this year...Had been hoping to impress my travelling party with this little gem...FAIL!!!

How many fast passes can you have at a time. Say if I get one for Indiana jones but the return time is not till 10pm(actually happened to me in august around 4pm when I got the FP) am I able to get FP's for other rides before my 10 pm return time. Just wondering because if I get a FP for WOC will I be able to grab other FP's throughout the day?

Thanks. I am trying to get my itinerary for my trip coming up soon and Im trying to get my plan of attack as far as FP's go.

You are correct.

You can’t predict when you will be able to get another FP, so it’s best just to look at the bottom of the FP ticket to see what the next time you can get one is….

 

[Funball]

The other thing about FP’s that I don’t think anybody has mentioned is that even if you forget to use your fast past between time for example again the indy time of 10 am and 11 am, even if it’s 2pm and you still have that Fast pass you can use it for that ride…

Did I explain that right? anyhow, maybe it’s been changed but It used to work that way..

 

[DanT]

October 2009 we collected fast passes in the Early AM for space mountain, Indy, HMH, Buzz and a few others....used them between 8pm and 11pm When the lines for most of those rides were and hour or more.
