The Disney parks have a system called Fast Pass designed to help you avoid excessive waits in line for some of the attractions. Contrary to my expectation, this system doesn't cost anything extra. Here's how it works:
- Go to one of the attractions that uses the Fast Pass system, e.g., Peter Pan's Adventures
- Take a look at the "board" that indicates what time you'll need to return if you get a Fast Pass
- Pass your "Disney Passports" (park tickets) through the machine and collect the Fast Passes (tickets) that come out.
You then simply return to that attraction during the time period printed on the Fast Pass (usually about a half hour "window") and enter a special line that can literally save you from hours in the "normal" line. Note that you can't have Fast Passes for overlapping periods of time, i.e., you can only have a Fast Pass for one attraction at a time.
For example, we loved the Mine Train, one of the most popular attractions at the park. When we arrived at Disneyland on our third morning, we made a beeline for this attractions and got our Fast Passes. We returned a few hours later and waited less than 10 minutes to ride. That day I think people in the "normal" line were waiting 30 minutes or more.
Managing the Fast Pass process is probably the single most important ingredient to ensuring you maximize your time at Disneyland.
