using the FastPass Plus system at Walt
Disney World is a pure art form since
our tips and tricks to skip the line at
Walt Disney World video we've been
getting tons of comments asking for a
video just on Fastpass itself especially
talking about which rides and
attractions you should fast pass so
today we'll be sharing a bunch of
Fastpass secrets and tips including some
changes being made to the way Fastpass
works at Hollywood Studios some of these
tips you may have heard before but this
now allows us to put everything related
to FastPass in one Epic video so today
we present you with tpm's ultimate
Fastpass guide the secrets and tips
[Music]
so the FastPass Plus system is a way for
you to skip the standby lines at Walt
Disney World if you didn't know it's
completely free and on any given day
you're at the park you get to make three
fast pass Selections in advance if
you're staying at one of the Walt Disney
World hotels you can make fast pass
reservations 60 days prior to check-in
for your entire trip and for people who
aren't staying on property you can make
fast pass reservations 30 days in
advance now we highly recommend
downloading the Disney World app which
makes booking the fast passes super
convenient you can find it in the app
store by searching for My Disney
Experience and know this video is not
sponsored if you do want to sponsor us
Disney hit us up
these are magic bands and they aren't
required to use FastPass Plus you can
also use your Park ticket to scan into
the rides but the magic band does make
it a lot more convenient you don't need
to constantly carry around and pull out
your Park ticket with the possibility of
losing it another little tip with your
Park tickets always make sure to take a
picture of the back of the ticket just
in case you happen to actually lose it
this will act as a backup and actually
prove that it was your ticket now if
you're staying on Walt Disney World
property the magic bands are free and
will be shipped to you but you can buy a
basic colored band for only about 12
bucks each when it comes to booking time
slots we recommend booking your first
Fastpass about 45 minutes after the park
opens since you can get quite a bit done
through standby lines during the first
45 minutes to an hour also try using
your first three fast pass reservations
by around 3 pm or even earlier if you
can after you use up the last Fastpass
you can keep making additional Fastpass
reservations one at a time for the
remainder of the day as long as they're
still available so using your three
selections earlier in the day allows you
to book an additional Fastpass while
there's still quite a few attractions
available it's best that you choose time
slots as close to the current time as
possible so once you use that one up you
can make another selection just that
much quicker depending on the day the
selection of attractions might be hit or
miss on certain days of the week and
during busier Seasons like spring break
Christmas or Thanksgiving if you keep
checking day of slots open up last
minute for the popular attractions but
you need to be quick to book those just
like here within the span of less than
20 seconds Big Thunder Mountain went
down to only two available time slots
for that day so while we're on the topic
let's just start off with the Magic
Kingdom these are tpm's recommendations
on which rides and attractions you
should fast pass in your first three
selection so our recommendations are Big
Thunder Mountain Splash Mountain Space
Mountain Peter Pan's flight Seven Dwarfs
Mine Train and Enchanted tales with
Belle if you head to the Adventureland
frontierland side as soon as the park
opens you can get away with booking a
fast pass for either Big Thunder
Mountain or Splash Mountain you
shouldn't need to fast pass both since
the standby line for those two rides
first thing in the morning usually
aren't too long you definitely want to
book Space Mountain as one of your three
for sure since Space Mountain usually
runs out of fast passes early in the
afternoon and usually has a very long
wait during the day now the fast passes
for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train usually book
up very quickly so there's a good
possibility if you're staying off Disney
property and book your fast passes 30
days in advance that the ride won't be
available if you're booking 60 days in
advance then you shouldn't have a
problem if you book right at your 60-day
window now if you can't get a fast pass
for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train then it's a
good one to head to during the fireworks
but in the past we've always been lucky
with day of fast passes for this one so
just keep checking the app during the
day but be sure to be quick to book them
when you see it mine trains a fun ride
with some really cool animatronics but
it's definitely not worth spending over
70 minutes waiting in a standby line so
fast pass for this one is kind of a must
the classic Peter Pan's flight also has
ridiculously long weights usually around
the 60 Minute plus marker so if your
family really wants to ride Peter Pan
this is also a definite Fastpass
Enchanted tales with Belle also has a
history of having pretty long lines as
well and usually fast passes run out
early on in the day so again if your
family wants to experience this
attraction a fast pass would definitely
be the way to go here's a sample of the
Fast Pass availability at around 2PM on
a weekday as you can see there's still
quite a bit available for classic rides
Like Pirates of the Caribbean Jungle
Cruise Haunted Mansion and even Buzz
Lightyear Space Ranger Spin if you
follow our recommendation of finishing
up your first three fast passes by early
afternoon then you shouldn't have a
problem booking additional fast passes
for those rides
now let's move to Epcot where Fastpass
is set up a bit differently at this park
the rides and attractions are separated
by a two-tier system and only allows you
to book one attraction from tier one and
then the other two selections need to be
from tier two so the Tier 1 attractions
at Epcot are frozen Ever After test
track Soren and illuminations
reflections of Earth now tpm's Fastpass
recommendations for Epcot are test track
Soarin and Frozen Ever After but since
they're all part of Tier 1 you won't be
able to book all of them so if you're
someone who definitely needs to ride
Frozen Ever After book this as your Tier
1 selection since the way for this ride
can still be very long and day of fast
passes tend to show up less often but
that's not to say that they never show
up when they do become available it's
usually for later slots in the evening
so if you end up using Frozen as your
Tier 1 selection you can use the single
Rider line for test track and then rope
drops Soarin as soon as the park opens
now if you don't want a rope drop Soarin
or use the single Rider line at test
track after you've used your first three
Fastpass selections you're able to book
more Tier 1 fast passes one at a time
you should still be able to get a fast
pass for both those rides if you follow
our suggestion of using your first three
selections by early afternoon the fast
pass availability seen here was taken
around 2PM on a weekday and as you can
see there's a decent availability for
Soarin but test track only has two slots
available generally this has been pretty
normal lately with test track having
less than Sauron and availability can
fluctuate very quickly within a matter
of minutes so again just be quick to
book when you see them now as for your
tier 2 selections consider booking
mission space since fast passes for this
ride usually run out during the day your
other ride options usually have a good
availability for the remainder of the
afternoon into the evening so at this
point you're pretty much able to book
whatever ride fits your schedule kind of
knowing that you'll be able to get on
all the rides
animal kingdom is another park with a
tiered Fastpass system tier one at the
park are the rides in Pandora so that's
Avatar flight of Passage and Navi River
Journey if you're choosing between these
two rides definitely book flight of
Passage but be aware that if you're
booking 30 days in advance there might
not be any availability if you book
later in the day at the 30-day Mark the
fast passes for flight of Passage are
usually all booked up by early afternoon
so you want to make sure that you book
them first thing in the morning Navi
River Journey usually has quite a few
slots available until about 15 days in
advance if you're not able to get a fast
pass for flight of Passage you can
always rope drop this ride head on over
near the closing of the park or just
keep checking the app for any last
minute openings all the other rides and
attractions at the park are tier two so
TPM recommends booking fast passes for
Expedition Everest Kilimanjaro safaris
and dinosaur day have fast passes are
very Hit or Miss for Kilimanjaro safaris
as you can see here this availability
was all within a matter of less than a
minute so definitely book Kilimanjaro
safaris for sure as one of your three
selections and then you can choose one
of the other rides these available
Fastpass slots are from around 3 pm on a
weekday and as you can see there's still
quite a few fast passes available for
Expedition Everest dinosaur and even
Cali River Rapids so when you begin
booking additional fast passes one at a
time you should be able to experience
all the rides at the park
the last theme park to tackle is
Disney's Hollywood Studios this park
also has a tiered Fastpass system which
has rock and roller coaster Toy Story
Mania Beauty and the Beast and
phantasmic all in tier one and
everything else is in tier two currently
Toy Story Mania isn't giving out fast
passes while it accommodates the new
entrance in Toy Story Land but the ride
is still available through standby so
right now our recommendations for
Fastpass would be Rock and roller
coaster Tower of Terror and Star Tours
now Disney just announced the new tiered
system once Toy Story Land opens on June
30th the new Tier 1 will be everything
in Toy Story Land so that includes Toy
Story Mania Slinky Dog Dash and alien
swirling saucers everything else at the
park is tier two so if you're heading to
the park from June 30th 2018 onwards
tpm's Fastpass recommendations now would
be to book Slinky Dog dash for your Tier
1 selection then Tower of Terror and
rocking roller coaster for tier 2.
you're only able to book one Toy Story
Land ride your only real option to get
on the other two without a ridiculous
weight would be to rope drop these two
rides as soon as the park opens probably
alien swirling saucers first since it's
new followed by a Toy Story Midway Mania
now also note that even if you have a
park hopper ticket you can only make
fast pass reservations in advance for
one Park per day you can't split your
three fast pass selections between
multiple Parks you can however make an
additional Fastpass selection for a
different Park after you've used your
first three fast passes that day at the
current Park the FastPass Plus system
also has an unofficial grace period
allowing you to arrive five minutes
early or 15 minutes past your window
usually without any issues now if you
completely miss your Fastpass window you
don't lose out on a fast pass selection
you can make a new selection by clicking
the modify button on the reservation
from the missed attraction and either
choose a new time if it's still
available for the same attraction or
choose a brand new experience another
little Fastpass tip once you're
wandering the park booking fast passes
one at a time is before you head into a
standby line check the app and see if
there's any fast passes available for
the current time slot A lot of the times
the attraction has availability right
there and then so you can book that
Fastpass right away head through the
fast fast line and avoid the entire
standby even though you just booked it
two minutes ago
so there you go those are all of our
