Disney FastPass+ Strategies For A Trip With The Littles

Everyone has FastPass+ strategies with thrill rides in mind. But what if you’re traveling with little knee grabbers? What then?

What Is FastPass+?

FastPass+ allows you to by-pass the stand-by line, maximizing your time in the parks. Currently, you are limited to three FastPass+ selections in one park per day. Detailed information about the FastPass+ system can be found here.

Each of the four parks within Walt Disney World has popular rides that have wait times that can climb into the 2-hour mark. That is where FastPass+ strategies come in. Strategize right (at your 60-day mark) and you can limit that wait time considerably.

Below are your best bet attractions for about age 7 and under. And most of the attractions included have no height restrictions.

Remember, you are only allowed 3 FastPasses per day. But once you use them, you can start adding them one at a time. With this strategy, we rarely wait longer than 30 minutes for anything.

And different parks have a tiered system that you must strategize around. For a quick education on the tiered system, click here. 

I’ve listed the highest priority FastPasses are listed in bold. The rest? Good choices depending on your child’s interest.

Happy Planning!
