Using Disney’s FASTPASS! It’s FREE!

Use Disney’s FASTPASS! Many Walt Disney World attractions offer this timed ticketing system, which is free with your admission to the park. Here’s how it works: As you approach a FASTPASS attraction you will see several signs. The first tells you how long you would have to wait if you got into the normal line at that moment — what’s known as the Standby Line. Another sign tells you the “FASTPASS RETURN” time — that is, what time you will be able to return to ride or see the attraction if you get a FASTPASS ticket instead of standing in line.

REMEMBER TO TAKE BOTH YOUR FASTPASS AND YOUR ADMISSION TICKET!

Once your FASTPASS time has arrived, return to the attraction and get in the FASTPASS RETURN line. Be sure to have your FASTPASS out and ready to show the Cast Member, who will check your return time with the official return time clock. Further along in the queue or waiting area, a Cast Member will actually collect your FASTPASS ticket. By then you will be far ahead of those waiting in the Standby Line, ready to get on with the show!

If you’re going to Walt Disney World sometime before the end of 2007, you’re in for a real treat!

234x60aen1.jpgDisney’s Year of a Million Dreams officially began Sunday, October 1, and runs for the next 15 months. As part of that celebration, Disney cast members known as “The Dream Squad” are dispensing “dream” prizes at random that range from special Year of a Million Dreams Mickey Ears to a magical overnight stay in an apartment in Cinderella Castle.

Remember, the Year of a Million Dreams continues now through 2007. If you’re in Walt Disney World during that time we hope that the Dream Squad bestows a magical dream come true on you!
