"Fantasy and Reality can overlap."

I am a Disney Travel Agent. I became one because I LOVE Disney!!! Every time someone contacts me, I get tears in my eyes from the thrill and excitement of being able to help plan the most magical trip ever. :) I just started this BLOG, because there is so much information out there. I'm hoping to make this a fun, engaging and informative page. If there is any topic you'd like me to cover, let me know. If I don't have the answer, I won't stop until I find it. Thanks for joining me on this most amazing ride!!!! Julie
Fast Pass Tricks
For those who want to enjoy as many rides as possible
How to optimize your fast passes so you can ride as many rides as possible. This absolutely works, but requires strategy before you go to the parks.
​
The following are default standards for all Fast Passes:
-
Disney Fast Passes last an hour and cannot overlap.
-
Only 3 Fast Passes can be chosen a day.
-
Once you use all 3 Disney Fast Passes, you can book additional Fast Passes, (one at a time).
-
You MUST have "My Disney Experience" APP on your phone. (Make sure all tickets are linked to the same APP).
-
If you are trying to get in as many attractions as possible, you probably want to focus on one park a day. When you switch parks, you lose time...and while time is money in most worlds, here, time is lost ride options.
​
With those default standards in place, here is a general breakdown of how to get the most out of your Fast Pass:​
​
-
Select your first three fast passes for the following times: 8:00-9:00 (This should be your # 1 choice), 10:00-11:00, and 11:00-12:00. (Just read on before you think this is crazy!)
-
When you arrive at the park, go directly to your first choice ride. (You can stop to gaze later! ) Get to that first ride as fast as you possibly can.
-
When you get to your first choice, ideally, the line will not be long, so you should be able to go in using the stand by line.
-
As soon as you get off your first choice ride, go AGAIN, this time using your fast pass!!!
-
While you are in line, (which still shouldn't be long), get your My Disney Experience App open and "modify" your fast passes. Specifically, try to change your 3rd choice to a time as close to current time as possible. IF you get in and out of the first ride without using the pass soon enough, you will have plenty of time for there not to be a layover in Fast Pass times. (Does this clayrify the hour gap when you first sign up?)
-
As soon as you scan your Magic Band or Ticket, Disney removes the hour time limit from your account, which makes it so you can modify it by adding a new fast pass.
