Though Walt Disney World moved to digital FastPasses several years ago in the form of the MyMagic+ system, visitors to Disneyland are currently reliant on the old paper system. This means that those wishing to get a FastPass for an attraction must visit the FastPass kiosk and pending availability obtain a paper ticket allowing them to return at a designated ride time. However, it looks like paper FastPasses may soon be a thing of the past as plans are underway for Disneyland to start trialing a digital system next month.
Disneyland has been testing a new Fastpass system across the parks and they are set to trial it with the ticket buying public starting on November 20, 2016. Initially, a digital FastPass will only be available for one ride, California Adventure Park’s Toy Story Midway Mania. This headlining attraction, was not one of the rides currently available under the old system so this will be a new addition to the FastPass line-up.
It is believed that the system will work via the Disneyland App which will provide visitors with the option of booking their FastPasses using their tablets or smartphones. The passes for this ride will initially only be available using the app but it is rumored that FastPass kiosks (similar to those already in use at Walt Disney World) will be unveiled at a later date.
Visitors to the parks may also notice updates to the queues of other headlining attractions in the weeks ahead to prepare for a full transition from a paper to digital system across both theme parks.
