Fastpass

If you don't know how to do Disney right you are going to spend most of your vacation in line for things. Anyone who has ever been to an amusement park or theme park could tell you that there are always long lines. Disneyland and Disney World use a system to help appease the wait times by using something called the Fastpass system.

What is Fastpass?
Basically Fastpass is a free service offered by Disney that helps you get to see as many rides as you can on your vacation. With your park ticket you can get a ticket at your favorite ride (not all of them employ this system, but a large number of attractions do have them, especially the more popular rides). It will provide you with a one-hour time frame (i.e. 12:30-1:30) in which you can come back and go through the fastpass line, which is generally a much shorter wait.

One thing to be aware of when using the fastpass system. You can only get one every two hours or so, so use it wisely. I generally use it for an attraction that has a particularly long wait, or a ride I would like to go on more than once.

When used correctly, you could end up seeing everything you want to see.
