Bye Bye FASTPASS Machines

As MyMagic+ continues to move forward, according to reliable sources both inside and outside Disney, FastPass+ will be rolled out for both on-site and off-site guests at both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot within the next week. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is expected to make the change over on January 21, and Epcot is expected to become all FastPass+ starting on January 23. This means that Legacy FASTPASS machines that distribute paper FASTPASS tickets will be turned off, and guests will only be able to make FastPass+ reservations.

If off-site guests would like to make a FastPass+ reservation, they will need to visit one of the FastPass+ kiosks found within the park to reserve their ride times on the day they visit the park. Much like the previous roll outs, non-Disney resort guests will currently not be able to use the My Disney Experience app or website to make FastPass+ reservations. To make a FastPass+ reservation, off-property guests will need to use their RFID-enabled ticket to access the FastPass+ kiosks, as they do not currently have access to MagicBands.

Guests who are staying at a Disney resort will have the ability to make FastPass+ reservations up to 60 days in advance via the My Disney Experience app or website. If they have not made them ahead of time, they can also do so in the parks at the FastPass+ kiosks.

Like previous testing, guests will only be able to obtain 3 FastPass+ reservations per day, all at the same park. Unlike at the other two Walt Disney World parks, both Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios have a tiered system set up, which is set to continue. At both parks, guests must choose ONE attraction from Column A and TWO attractions from Column B

Here’s the line up of attraction groupings you can choose from:

Epcot

Column A (Choose ONE preference)

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth
Epcot Character Spot

Column B (Choose TWO preferences)

All of our Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios touring plans will be updated to remove Legacy FASTPASS information. In the updated versions, we’ll provide suggestions for which FastPass+ attractions to prioritize. Legacy FASTPASS functionality has been removed starting on the aforementioned dates in our free computer-optimized Disney World touring plans software.

Full in park testing for all guests has been taking place at Disney’s Animal Kingdom since December 18 and at the Magic Kingdom since January 14.
