In early 1999, Disney introduced the FastPass system to allow theme park guests to bypass the waits on more popular attractions. By using the FastPass, you can bypass most of the standby line in the busiest Disney attractions. This genius idea can be used by anyone in the park by simply:
1.Heading to the ride you want to "skip the line"
2.Look for the FastPass Box (pictured above)
3.Insert your Disney Park ticket, and that of everyone in your party
4.Grab the receipt (see below)
5.Head back to the ride during your allotted time!
This is a great way to experience the entire Disney park. For more information on the Disney FastPass, be sure to check out FastPass.info.
Below you will see an example of a FastPass receipt. It states that you must return between 4:30-5:30pm. You may return to the FastPass line anytime from 4:30pm until the the park closes for the day.
Disney Cast Members will allow entrance through the FastPass line any time after the first time period listed on your receipt.
If you don't return to the ride make sure to keep your receipt until after you leave the park for the evening. Rides like Space Mountain tend to have longer wait times in the evening and you can use that FastPass before you leave the park. If you don't use the tickets share with some strangers and make someone's day! It is a great thing to do!

If a ride breaks down anytime after you receive your receipt make sure to keep it. They may let you use it the next day. This has happened to us a few times and we have never been denied entrance.

A WARNING: You can not get another FastPass until after the first time listed on your last receipt. Example: Let's say it is 10:00am. You head to Space Mountain and see that the FastPass clock shows a return time of 4:30pm - 5:30pm. You get your pass. You may not get another FastPass until 4:30pm. Be very careful not to waste your time on lines that are 20-30 minutes long. If the return time is 4-6 hours later than the current time, you may want to use FastPass on another ride and wait for your current ride.

Another tip - The park only distributes a certain amount of fast passes. On busy days they can all be given out in the morning so you want to make sure you get the one you want early in the day.
Don't forget to mention that you can also access the fast pass via I-phone.
Remember the good old days when Star Tours ... and then Splash Mountain ... and then Indiana Jones ... opened and you'd have to wait 2 hours in line for a ride? Yeah, so glad those days are over!!
