Disney FASTPASS Introduction

Disney FASTPASS - Behind the Scenes

Technically speaking, the Disney FASTPASS system is a virtual queuing system (alternately called a ghost queuing system). Instead of waiting in a physical line (queue), the FASTPASS system allows park visitors to secure their place in a “virtual” line. 

Each attraction at a Disney theme park has a maximum number of guests that it can handle in a day.  Based on this number and other factors, a set number of seats are reserved for park visitors in the virtual line.

Universal Orlando's Express versus Disney FASTPASS

While in Orlando, you may have plans to head on over to Universal Studios Florida or Universal's Islands of Adventure.  Universal Orlando does have a FASTPASS of sorts but it works quite differently than the Disney FASTPASS.
The program is called "Universal Express."  Unlike the Disney FASTPASS which is free and available to all Disney admission ticket holders, the Universal Express pass is only free for those staying at participating on-site hotels.  Though, not all hope is lost as the Express pass is available for purchase.
