What is better than have fast passes and get fairly quick to the rides and especially those popular ones that stand by line is longer than 60 minute wait. How do we choose our fast passes and what time of the day we plan them?
As most of the people who goes to Walt Disney World knows that they can choose their fast passes 60 or 30 days before their planned stay, however this depends if you stay on or off site. On site you get the advantage of choosing your fast passes two months before your stay which is really great advantage if you are trying to get one of the most popular or new rides.
I am not the most experienced Disney person ever but we have noticed using our fast passes this way has been the best for our holidays. It all depends the age of your party and weather you want to have brakes from the parks during the day
Which rides we usually choose for the fast passes?
Depending on the parks, but most of the fast passes we do use for thrill rides. One reason is that most of the time they have quite a bit of queue but also because those are our favourite rides, but we also love Winnie the pooh ride and Peter Pans Flight. Two rides we never skip in Magic Kingdom
Animal Kingdom one of our must do ride is Mount Everest. We always take a fast pass for this, just to be sure we get to do it, even though sometimes the wait for the ride is not even long but you never know. Also Kali river rapids is our list most of the time, however sometimes we risk to queue and we do not choose a fast pass for this ride
Hollywood studios, the fast passes goes only for thrill rides expect one. before this upcoming holiday, our fast passes has always been Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror and the last choice for the day is always Indiana Jones, this is something we cannot skip. My boyfriend loves him and I cannot take the joy away from him to have a nice seating for the show. He always does so much for me, so this is his number one thing to do.
Epcot feel like it is the most 'relaxing' park, if I can say that. what we love to do is Frozen ride in Norway pavilion. I could say it is my boyfriends favourite ride in Epcot, I mean such a huge Indiana Jones fan and the next day he loves Elsa... all I can say I'm glad he loves Disney.
And we always take the meet Mickey and his pals fast pass. Just to get nice memories on our visit at his home.
And now, what time of the day do we plan our fast passes. We usually take one fast pass for late morning, around 11am-12pm and after that we do the rides that don't have that much of a queue till 3-4pm and we have two fast passes quite close to each other, depending what we are able to catch.
The reason for this to have small brake during the lunch time is that usually there's less queue because of families with small children have to have a lunch break and maybe even a nap / pool time at the resort. Also after the two more fast passes we hope to get some extra fast passes for the rest of the evening, we don't mind what those are, even if we get a fast pass for Dumbo, we are more than happy.
So this is the way how we plan our must do rides. We try to use all of the fast passes quite early, but not at the time that maybe it's not that necessary. The parks will be more full during the evening time so we have found this to be great for us to enjoy the rides we like and maybe couple more rides later in the evening after hour fast pass selections.
I would be more than happy to hear how do you plan your fast passes, let me know in the comment box below!
