Natalie Connell Castle and Cruise Adventures, LLC Planning Amazing Disney Vacations (229) 977-3773 [email protected] Tips for Securing FastPasses 1. FastPass reservations will open on your MyDisneyExperience account at exactly 7:00am on the 60th day prior to your check-in day. If you are on the FastPass screen prior to 7:00am you will need to refresh your screen to activate the FastPass process at 7:00am. 2. You can select up to three FastPasses at one park to start the day. You don’t have to select three but that is the maximum you can select prior to your visit. 3. Remember that all the parks but Magic Kingdom have a Tier system for FastPasses. This means you can select only one attraction from the top tier and the other two FastPasses must come from the second tier/group. 4. Secure FastPasses based on popularity of attraction, not necessary by starting with your first park day. Certain attractions at Walt Disney World are far more popular than others when it comes to FastPasses. Listed below are some FastPasses to try to secure first regardless of when they fall in your trip (listed in priority order). a. Hollywood Studios – Millennium Falcon or Slinky Dog Dash (you can only choose one) b. Animal Kingdom – Pandora Flight of Passage c. Magic Kingdom – Seven Dwarfs Mine Train d. Hollywood Studios – Toy Story Mania! (if you are not selecting Slinky Dog Dash or Millennium Falcon) e. Epcot – Any of the first Tier attractions including Test Track, Frozen Ever After, or Soarin’ f. Magic Kingdom – Peter’s Pan Flight, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain g. Animal Kingdom – Kilimanjaro Safari 5. After you have secured the popular attractions you can go in and fill in the rest of the FastPasses. 6. As you select your FastPasses you may want to give consideration to where each attraction is located so that you can plan a “flow” for moving about the parks. Remember, the parks are very large and try to avoid backtracking as much as possible. The How-To’s – From a Computer 1. Login to your MyDisneyExperience account. Hover over “MyDisneyExperience” on the right and select. Click “Get Started” 2. Select the individuals you are making FastPass reservations (remember, everyone must have a ticket linked to make FastPasses) and click “Next.” 3. Select the first date you will want to secure FastPasses followed by the Park Name (remember to go after the popular attractions first). 4. Either select “Morning,” “Afternoon,” or “Evening” depending on the time of the FastPass you want to secure. If you have a specific time in mind, use the far right “Select Time” drop down menu to choose the time. Three time options will be displayed for you to make a selection. 5. Select a time and then click “Confirm.” 6. Once you have confirmed the FastPass you will have the option to “Continue of the same day” (as long as you have not reached the three FastPass limit), “Select a different day,” or “No, thanks I’m Done.” If you are going after another popular attraction on another day, then click “Select a different day” and go after the next popular attraction. Continue this process until you have completed the FastPasses. The How-Top’s – From Phone App 1. Download and login in to the MyDisneyExperience app on your phone. 2.
