Quick tip of the day

Emailed from Jennifer A.
“I have a Flight of Passage Quick Tip for guests without FastPasses.

My husband was not able to join me at Animal Kingdom, so I decided to go by myself anyway. I did not have a FastPass for Flight of Passage, but it was a (relatively!) short 65 minute wait so I decided to go for it.

After about 20 minutes of waiting, I reached the part of the line where the cast member asks you how many people are in your party. I said ‘one’ and much to my delight she guided me to the right-hand side of the queue which appeared to have a special single rider line next to the FastPass lines.

All the other non-FastPass guests were guided to the left and they still had a significant wait ahead of them. There was one other guy ahead of me which meant I only had to wait about 5 more minutes, which cut the total wait time to about 25 minutes.

So my quick tip is to say you’re a single rider if you don’t mind getting potentially separated from your touring buddy. The guy in front of me was in my same group, so it’s possible you may not even be separated!”

This is my first WDWPrep episode I have listened to and love it! I am curious if you or anyone knows what Facebook page Kelly used to find out about the FOP fastpasses being released. Thanks!

Quick tip for Kelly B: Even though you did not plan to ride Flight of Passage, if you would have gotten a rider switch pass when you’re guys rode, the 3 of them would have been able to ride again later using that rider switch pass. So in the future for popular rides that your daughter does not meet height requirements for, go ahead and get the rider switch pass. If your group doesn’t end up using it you can always gift it to another guest in the park.

This doesn’t work anymore. The Rider Switch passes are digital now. They are loaded to the specific person’s Magic Band that will ride next and for a specific time. You can only hold one RS pass at a time. If you get another RS pass before the previous one has been used, the new one will cancel the other one. I loved the old paper switch passes, but like everything else, the paper has gone away and digital is now here. Because of the gaps in my 3 kids’ ages, we have utilized RS for about 12 years. I definitely like the paper ones better.
