Cut your wait time with Disney's FASTPASS

Did you know that you can cut your wait time to some of your favorite rides by using Disney's FASTPASS ? This complimentary service saves your place in line for an attraction while you enjoy the rest of the theme park. Here are the details:

To Use Disney's FASTPASS Service:

  • Look for the "Disney's FASTPASS® Distribution" sign near the entrance of an attraction.
  • Check the "Return Time" displayed on the sign.
    • The sign will indicate the time you would return to enjoy the attraction using a FASTPASS ticket.
    • For attractions, the return time is a one-hour window (e.g., 1:10 p.m. to 2:10 p.m.), so you don't have to be there exactly at a given time. For shows, your return time will be for a specific performance.
  • If the return time is one that works for you, just insert your admission ticket into the Disney's FASTPASS Service machine. (You may use your Walt Disney World Resort admission ticket, readmission ticket, Disney Resort Hotel keycard or Annual Passport.)
  • A FASTPASS ticket will emerge with your return time printed on it. Now you're free to go and enjoy the rest of the theme park!
  • Go back to the FASTPASS ticketholder entrance when your return time rolls around, show your ticket to the Cast Member and enjoy the attraction with a minimal wait.

Please keep in mind:

  • FASTPASS tickets are only valid on the day of issue.
  • Everyone in your party using the FASTPASS ticketholder entrance must have a FASTPASS ticket.
  • There's a limit to the number of FASTPASS tickets you may have at one time. On your ticket will be printed the time at which you can get your next one. Disney's FASTPASS Service machines won't issue another ticket until the time stated on your current one.

Currently, the following attractions offer Disney's FASTPASS Service:

Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park:


Disney's Hollywood Studios Theme Park:


Magic Kingdom Theme Park:


Epcot Theme Park:

    An added tip that I forgot...

    Since Fastpasses go quickly on the more popular attractions, we hand over all our park tickets to my husband as soon as we make it through the entrance, so that he can go ahead and get Fastpasses for all us. I get the kids settled in and get our stroller if we're renting one, and then catch up with him. It saves a lot of time this way. Just in case you're wondering, it does not work if your ticket hasn't gone through the entrance machines. We tried this our last trip when we were running late getting ready. My brother took our tickets and headed to the park to get our fastpasses, but only the tickets that had been through the entrance worked. Mine and my kids' tickets read, "not a valid fastpass."
