Fast Pass the long lines

In this post I am going to explain the Fast Pass system in WDW.
Fast Passes enable you to 'save' your place in the lines. A lot of the rides in the parks have them (apart from the Water Parks, these don't have the Fast Pass system) and they save you and your family a lot of time, so, you're able to do everything you want to do in the parks.
Now, you can't simply go and get a FP for every ride at once, you can only get one at a time, per park ticket. But as soon as the return time starts on the current FP or an hour after you get your FP, which ever comes first, you're able to get another.
The FP return time is only valid for an hour, which is stated clearly on the ticket. If you return after the hour window has finished you're FP is invalid.
There is one exception to this rule though, if the ride breaks down before or during your return time your FP now becomes valid for the rest of that day. Something I found out last year when Splash Mountain was experiencing serious malfunctions.
So, how do you get a FP? Well, next to the rides, you will find that rides FP service machines, with these you put your park ticket in and a FP comes out. If it all becomes a little 'I'm not sure what to do' a cast member is always on hand to help you.
So, that is the FP system explained. Remember, for the most popular rides, be sure to obtain a FP as the lines can get long.
I hope that has helped you and cleared up any uncertainty. If not, please feel free to ask questions below or on my Twitter @WDWHoliday13 and I will answer it to the best of my abilities.
Until next time,
Emily
