Say there are two of you in your party; You both go and get a fastpass for Soarin' at 10am and the return time on the fastpass ticket says 1:30-2:30. One hour after you put your ticket in the fastpass machine ie '11am', you can both get another fastpass for a different ride.
An hour after that '12pm' you could get a fastpass for another ride as well

Basically, to my knowledge, you can get a fastpass one hour after you got the last one, even if your first fastpass time is much later on.

The Fast Pass will give you a time in which you can use it and a time that you can get your next Fast Pass.

For example, you walk up to Soarin' at 9 a.m. and get a Fast Pass with a return time of 9:40-10:40. Your next Fast Pass time would be something like 9:41.

If you walk up to Soarin' at 11:00 a.m. and get a return time of 6:00-7:00 then your next Fast Pass time will be sometime before 1:00 p.m. as your return time is more than two hours away.

Also bear in mind that you don't have to use the Fast Pass within the one hour window, you can use it later if you like.

ok i got that thanx, but are you limited in how many fastpasses you can have in a day

 

[Lady Radington]

Nope we've never been refused one, i think so long as you abide by the times you can have as may as you like, obviously park opening hours will dictate that you can only get through so many

Ps sorry wickesy is correct, its 2 hours.

You can hold as many Fastpasses as you like, the only limitation is being able to get them before they run out or the return times become too late in the day.
At the bottom of the Fastpass it will tell you when you are able to get another one. Always check this time because sometimes it can be before your return time
With a little careful planning you can manage to have a few FPs in your hand.
