Extra Info/Tips

Fast pass - these are free. When you enter a park (for example Magic Kingdom) and you want to go on a popular ride like Space Moutain, but not wait in the 60-90min line, you can take your park ticket to a kiosk outside that ride, insert your park ticket, and it will give you (your ticket back) & a fast pass with a time frame on it (ex. you can ride from 2:30pm-3:30pm). Their are now 2 different lines at Space Moutain, a fast pass line, and the regular line. They only issue a certain number of fast passes for a time specific frame, therefore, the fast pass line is very small/short, and usually takes under 20 minutes (sometimes, you walk right onto the ride). These are very nice, and to be effecient...Korey and I never wait in the long lines, we always have a fast pass for any popular ride. One thing you need to know, is that you can only have 1 fast pass at a time or at least until it is your time (2:30pm in the example above). Once it is 2:30pm, you can take your ticket to another rides fast pass kiosk and get another one.

Parent Swap (pass/ticket) - these are for a ride like Space Moutain too: if a child is too small, or doesn't want to ride it, you can ask the cast member in line at Space Moutain for a Parent Swap pass/ticket. So, (for ex.) Korey would wait in the line (either fast pass line, or regular line), Go on the ride, and then when he is done, he watches the kids and then you take your parent swap ticket, give it to the Cast Member, and they will let you get into the Fast pass line (even if you don't have an actual fast pass) If you do have a fast pass, then you could just use it. The reason I tell you about the Parent Swap, is because sometimes you won't have a Fast pass, or you might want to go on the ride more than once, and the Parent Swap doesn't expire like the Fast pass. - it's a little more efficiency. ;)

- Why this is an advantage? The Parent pass doesn't have a time frame on it and one pass allows for 3 adults to get in the fast pass line. So you could use it right then, or you could take the kids somewhere else, have your hubby meet up with you and then go back. (like a fast pass - but with no time limit). When you're there... ask any Cast member working on the rides about it, they'll be glad to explain.
