The real problem is as a FP runner, I liked being able to get the group ahead of the line. Winners and Losers; i. Who is worse off than before?
And given an optimal touring plan, characterize worse off and better off in terms of minutes to complete a benchmark plan. Passholders are out. Another loser: predictability and guidance from touringplans. Now, it is very difficult to get any guidance on touringplans: I recommend that the touringplans staff try to answer the following question:. By 10 am? This information could be displayed as part of the wait time forecast for that ride for that day.
Is using a touring plan more important than ever? Or is the difference between using a touring plan and wandering around like a low information tourist the same as it was during legacy FP days? These are great ideas. We currently are season passholders.
Does this have any bearing on possibly being able to make fastpass plus reservations ahead of time? Has anyone tried this? Very good comparison, really makes the whole change very clear. There definitely seem to be pros and cons to it. For me, one of the big negatives is no more ability to spread FP pixie dust to other park guests. I had never seen such a thing! We were at the tail end of our trip though and were only able to use one of them.
They were great for spreading pixie dust. We did keep one as a souvenir! They used to do it one way, so I had a set of touring strategies tailored to that way. I have noted over the years that loyal WDW fans sometimes feel that Disney takes their loyalty for granted, particularly DVC members and annual pass holders, but also people who make WDW their vacation destination every year.
Hi Brian. I heard it is working the same. Then the second parent technically up to 2 people, although supposedly they still let up to 3 people in, unofficially can ride using the rider swap pass. We were in MK on Sunday the 19th. He got our party of 8 all of our reservations we wanted.
We were staying off property so were worried. When we returned on Tuesday, we arrived late, about a. And were able to get our other two selections Speedway and Buzz at and All with a late arrival with thick crowds.
So, that was an unexpected plus. I asked about the Annual Passholder and the prepared answer was, well, those staying on property, you know, they only come once every 4 or 10 years and while we appreciate our annual passholders, you get to come more, so that is why it is for on site guests.
WEAK and Disappointing answer!!!!! It should be the other way around…. So, the defense was supposed to make me feel sorry for the poor on site resort guests, who only get to come rarely. I have a question regarding FP runners… We are staying off-site, in case that is relevant to this question.
Or does each person have to be present at the kiosk, with their own ticket in hand? Also, we are planning to split our family into two groups: Group A has no little kids, Group B has little kids. Group A was planning to arrive at rope drop. Or do we have to wait until Group B arrives later in the morning, then all go to the kiosk together with tickets in hand and hope there is still availability?
Thank you. Would help a whole lot! Thanks for answering. A point of clarification, this post refers to Walt Disney World only. There are currently eleven attractions in Disneyland and eight in California Adventure that offers Fastpass service.
To obtain a paper Fastpass for an attraction, you must go to the Fastpass kiosk for that attraction normally located near the entrance and scan your park ticket. The kiosk will spit out a paper ticket with a return time window printed on it. You can keep accruing more Fastpasses throughout the day as long as there are still Fastpasses available. At the bottom of each ticket, there will be a time printed on it when you can obtain an additional Fastpass for a different attraction.
The two exceptions to this rule are the two nighttime shows, World of Color at California Adventure and Fantasmic at Disneyland. Introduced in , MaxPass is a paid option for obtaining Fastpasses at Disneyland and California Adventure on your smartphone. Instead of running to the attraction kiosks, once you enter the park you can select an attraction on the Disneyland app to receive your return time. Just as with the paper Fastpasses, you can get keep getting them throughout the day as long as Fastpasses are still available.
Over on the east coast at Walt Disney World Resort, things operate a bit differently! While it adds an extra layer of advance and advanced! At any time after you have made your initial picks, you can cancel or modify your Fastpasses as much as you want. Pro Tip! Recently, the parks rolled out two new systems: digital FastPasses and the MaxPass program.
Since the two systems began so close to each other, there have been a lot of questions. We've had a lot of guests that aren't sure which is which or what either of them really include.
While we do have separate articles on each - click to read our digital FastPass article here or click to read our MaxPass article here - we wanted to compare the two side-by-side in the same article. Cost seems to be the biggest question when comparing digital FastPass versus MaxPass.
Digital FastPasses are one hundred percent free and included in the cost of your discount Disneyland tickets. MaxPass, however, is an optional service that you can choose to pay for. This is subject to change. It is not automatically included with your ticket and will need to be purchased via the Disneyland app when you are in the park. Instead, you are able to pick and choose which days — if any — you would like to add it to your ticket.
How do you get your FastPass? Time reminder slips very similar to the old paper FastPass tickets are being printed, but that may be discontinued once the digital FastPass system has been around for a while. You'll still be able to select one at a time. The Disneyland app will show you the current return times for FastPass attractions. If you are using MaxPass, you will need to have a smart phone with the up-to-date Disneyland app installed. The app is where you will scan your ticket and select your FastPasses when using MaxPass.
Do you have someone in your party too young for a phone? The opposite — having multiple people in your party with smart phones — works as well. Phones are still great to bring though — especially for using the other aspects of the Disneyland app.
The Disneyland app itself is free to use. You can make restaurant reservations, check wait times and even see FastPass return times. To use this feature, you will need to make sure your ticket is scanned into the Disneyland app to link it. You still will not be able to schedule your FastPasses on the app without paying for MaxPass, but will be able to keep track of and redeem any FastPasses you have scheduled at the kiosks.
Have a digital FastPass? Simply take your park ticket to the ride and scan it at the FastPass entrance. Remember to scan your park ticket and not the FastPass time reminder — only the ticket will be accepted for entry into the FastPass line. However, they have two options.
They can either scan their phone once for everyone in the party or the park ticket that is connected to MaxPass on the Disneyland app.
