Disney World Tests Centrailized FastPass System at Animal Kingdom

Under the current system, guests must go to each individual attraction that participates in the FastPass system to gain a ticket. Last week, Walt Disney World is experimenting with a new system that would centralized the FastPass distribution method. This test began at Disney’s Animal Kingdom where guests can visit vending machines at the centralized location of It’s Tough to Be a Bug for the theme parks’s three most popular rides: Dinosaur, Expedition Everest and Kilimanjaro Safaris.

Passes are still available at their normal location of at the attractions as well.

The Walt Disney World Resort always strives to improve guest experience. Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez said the resort wants “to make it even easier for guests to utilize FastPass during their visits.”

What do YOU think of this proposed change? Do you think it will improve guest experience? Are you tired of walking all over the park to get your FastPasses? Do you have suggestions on how to further improve this system?

What is Disney’s FASTPASS® Service?

Take advantage of Disney’s FASTPASS® service. You can enjoy the rest of the park while FASTPASS® saves your place in line.

To use Disney’s FASTPASS® service:

Look for the FASTPASS® distribution area near the entrance of an attraction

Check the FASTPASS® “Return Time” display which gives you a span of time during which you can explore the Park before returning to board the attraction.

If the Return Time is sufficient for your plans, just insert your Walt Disney World® Resort admission ticket, readmission ticket or Annual Passport into the machine.

A FASTPASS® ticket will emerge with your Return Time printed on it. Now you’re free to go and enjoy the rest of the Park.

Go back to the FASTPASS® Return queue when your return time rolls around, show your FASTPASS® ticket to Cast Member at the entrance, and enjoy the attraction with a minimal wait.
