Hi,

I'm new to FP and am trying to understand how FP works. I've seen the busy times for rides (and am checking various times during the day on the app I have on my phone to get an idea of wait times). What I'm trying to understand though, would the wait time still make a difference if you have a FP?

e.g. Toy Story Mania shows a wait time of about 40 min at 9:30am whereas it shows a 70 min wait at 1pm. So with a FP, would we go in the FP line and wait say, 10 minutes to get in for both cases? Or would it take longer at 1pm vs 9:30am?

This will help in planning the time for FP (or if it doesn't matter then we are more flexible)

Thanks.

In general, ALL wait times get longer with more guests in the park.

Standby lines, FastPass Return lines, Single Rider lines, Food Service lines, and Restroom lines. ;)

Thanks you. So basically it's still better to get the FP when the lines are less busy.

I mean a "long" FP line is what, like a 10 minute wait? While it may be longer at the busiest part of the day, its still going to be much much shorter than the stand by at popular rides at that time.
