The Disneyland FASTPASS - "Almost" Wordless Wednesday

We never ceased to be amazed.  We'll be walking up through the FASTPASS line at various attractions scattered around the Disneyland Resort, and invariably will hear the words, "I hate people who use FASTPASS.  Why don't they wait in line like the rest of us?", muttered as we walk by.  While obviously this is an "almost" wordless post, so I can't spend much time dealing with this phenomenon now, it did make me think of this picture we took recently when we were at Disneyland Park for an entire day.  We think you'll understand why given the context.

Enjoy!  We sure did!!

Gawrsh, they must REALLY hate us for this one!

Hahahaha, this is too funny! I love when people say stuff like that. Meanwhile, we are already on the ride and enjoying while they stand in line mad at us :-/ haha! Love this picture. And your layout is AMAZING!

I love Fast Pass, one of us always runs ahead to get them, they are a Disney must...

Deb @ Focused on the Magic said...

Haha.. you always crack me up.

Why not wait in line for hours with the teaming hoardes of sweaty Disney fans???

You get Fastpasses and you use them! Good for you! I love fastpass! You wait in line for those you want to wait for and skip the ones you can't wait for! lol I remember for my 2th birthday a cast member gave me six fastpasses so I could go on Space Mountain as much as I wanted!:)

Wow , I have never had or witnessed any negative comments about anyone using a Fastpass. Thats ridiculous since its something available to everyone. And honestly dont often get you that much further in line.

I agree, Diane. They're a must! :)

Unknown said...

Glad I can make you laugh, Debs :)
Teaming hoards... I like that! ;)

Unknown said...

Yup Yup Yup, Ariel! We can and we do!
Awesome story about the Cast Member magic, by the way :)

Thanks Beth - they're not ALWAYS used by us, of course, but in the summer we use them pretty frequently :)

Unknown said...

Thanks DIS :)

Unknown said...

Thanks Casey - glad you liked them :)

Unknown said...

Yeah... it's an enigma, Tommy - it doesn't happen ALL the time, but frequently enough that when it happened last weekend it triggered my memory of the photo :)
I do disagree about getting you farther along in line, though - while it's true that sometimes it might not do you much good, there are DEFINITELY times when they come in handy and Splash Mountain is a perfect example. Especially during the summer when the lines are between 90 and 120 minutes long - a 20 minute wait is SO much better in that instance. Just depends on the ride and the wait that's already built up :)
