Welcome to Ask The Duchess – Vol. 41, a monthly Q&A post covering a variety of resort-related topics. Ask The Duchess answers questions submitted by readers. If you have a question you’d like answered, send me a message here.
1. Can you help me understand how to use fast pass? (submitted by George)
Yes! I have a post explaining the system and how to use it here.
2. Is fast pass or single rider the faster option? (submitted by Chloe)
It depends on the attraction. Check out my post here for a breakdown of which to use, when.
3. In your experience, what’s the best way to use fast passes? Which attractions should I prioritize? (submitted by Taryn)
I would say Space Mountain, Radiator Springs Racers, Mission: BREAKOUT!, Soarin’ Around the World, and Indiana Jones Adventure are the five best fast passes. These attractions maintain consistently long lines that move very slowly, so I never feel that I’ve “wasted” a fast pass on these.
4. Does Disneyland allow you to book fast passes before your trip? (submitted by Katie)
Nope. You cannot obtain a fast pass until you are physically in the park, even with the MaxPass system.
5. Do any dark rides in Fantasyland have fast pass?
Sadly, no. The only attractions in Fantasyland with fast pass are It’s A Small World and the Matterhorn.
