Getting and Using a Disney Fast Pass (FASTPASS)

How Much Time Can a Disney FASTPASS Save? Does it Really Work?

The busiest attractions are FASTPASS attractions. Use our Disneyland ride sheet or California Adventure ride sheet to find out which ones they are.

When you arrive at a FASTPASS attraction, you'll find a board similar to the one in the picture. It shows the current "standby" wait time.

In this example, taken about 12:30 p.m., you'd have to wait in line half an hour to ride Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. We've seen waits up to two hours at Indiana Jones Adventure on busy days. Do you want to wait? Go right ahead!

Rather be somewhere else instead? Check the FASTPASS return time, which is also posted at the ride entrance. For this example, if you picked up a FASTPASS you would return between 1:30 and 2:30, go to the FASTPASS return entrance and go right in.

In the meanwhile, you could have ridden several other rides, had lunch or let the kids play at Goofy's Bounce House instead of standing in the line.
