Hey all,
It's been a hot minute since I've used the legacy FASTPASS system as I've been either using MaxPass at Disneyland or My Disney Experience at Walt Disney World... so I fear that I may have become a bit rusty with how the legacy system works now.
First, yes I remember you go to the machines near the attractions and grab the return time ticket and at the time printed at the bottom, you can grab another. HOWEVER... these days, haven't these paper tickets changed a bit? Aren't they reminder passes now, opposed to actual tickets to be scanned? I dunno... I seem to remember seeing them with a "THIS TICKET IS A REMINDER ONLY" disclaimer at the bottom. How exactly do these revised tickets work? Do you just show your reminder to the CM at the FASTPASS entrance as you've always done? Or is it somehow different now??
Second... I heard that the FASTPASS machines for World of Color have been moved from what were the Grizzly River Run FASTPASS area. Where are they at now? On our first day of arrival on our trip in August, we may not get into DCA until like... 2 or 3 PM... would you even suggest to check for WoC FASTPASS tickets at this time? Or would they most definitely be sold out (it will be Tuesday the 20th, if that info helps any)? I'm just not sure how much of a rush there is on WoC FASTPASS tickets these days... do the WoC tickets still not count towards your attraction passes? Or have they now been lumped in and cancel out getting anything else for an hour??
Lastly, how fast do the FASTPASS tickets for Radiator Springs Racers go these days? Would there be any chance of getting one for later in the evening by 2 - 3 or 4 PM? Or would they most likely be gone by then?? I know back when it was the newest thing, they'd be gone lightning fast (within an hour of opening, etc.) How about Guardians or the Incredicoaster?? Also... does the Frozen show still do FASTPASS? If so, where do you get those now? And at what times for each showing do they become available? Do they count towards your attractions or are they not linked to attractions like WoC was??
Sorry for the bombardment of random FASTPASS-related questions... these are just a few things that have been boggling my mind lately. No need for legacy FASTPASS advice for Disneyland though, as we'll have MaxPass over there (just not at DCA as I'll be using my CM MEP pass to get my party in). One thing I've heard is that Fantasmic! FASTPASS tickets are now available to get through MaxPass on the app, is this correct? If so... is it linked or unlinked?? When can you get them, how, etc.
Any other tips and tricks on how to navigate DCA using the legacy system would be appreciated.
