how does the fastpass system work for disneyland?

I've been to California Adventure (a section of Disneyland) once, and as far as I can tell fastpass works like this:\n\nEvery ride has a long line, but you can bypass this by getting a fastpass for most rides.  You go up to the little booths, stick your ticket in to get scanned, and then out pops a fastpass.  You cannot use your fastpass right away; you usually have to wait 15-45 minutes for the fastpass to become valid, depending on how popular the ride is.  Your  fastpass ticket will tell you what time you should come back.  You also cannot get more than one fastpass for the same ride in the same time slot.  So let's say your fastpass for a certain ride is valid between 12:15 and 12:45 PM--you must wait until after 12:45 to get another one for that ride.\n\nHowever, you can get fastpasses for other rides at the same time.  So technically you could time it so that you are not standing around for too long.  If you get fastpasses for a few different rides, then when you are done with one, the pass for another ride will be valid.\n\nI hope this explanation helps; I know it's kind of confusing.  It took me awhile to figure it out as well.

It depends on what kind of person you are and who youre going with.\nUniversal Studios beats disney with rides but Disney has more and better attractions and games.

There are unscrupulous people and companies out there (it's a shock, I know) that will go onto these sites with software that automatically fills in the information and orders things (like tickets) without a person actually having to ever see it, which allows them to purchase multiple items, create multiple accounts or do other unsavory things (don't ask me why). Ever wonder how scalpers get so many good tickets? Question answered.\n\nJust type in the code and be assured that it's for your own good, as well as everyone else's that uses the site.

going with more friends... \nfirst some of your friends get inside of the room, then one of them comes out with two checked tickets... one for him and the other for you... meanwhile you buy some popcorns or somethin... then you go inside the room with the checked ticket and if the door guy tells you something you can answer... "went out to buy something"... it works...

Not sure of the question. At Disneyland, Main Street USA leads to the central Hub in front of the castle which leads to four lands: Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Adventureland. As the park expanded several new areas were added which can only be reached by passing through the other lands: New Orleans Square, Critter Country and Toontown.

For trains, first you find your destination.  All stations in big cities have lists of destinations in English, but if you get out in the country they might not.  Anyway, you find the station where you want to go, and the list will show you the fare.  You then go to the machine, insert enough money, and push the button for the amount you need. \n\nWhen going to the platform, you simply insert the ticket into the slot at the front of the gate, walk through, and take the ticket.  On your way out, put the ticket in, and the machine will keep it.\n\nIf you're using the subway, you'll occasionally need to take trains from two seperate lines.  This may require you to actually exit one gate and enter the next one with the same ticket.  If that's the case, be sure to look for the gate marked "transfer" or else you won't get the ticket back!\n\nAlso, if you find that your ticket doesn't have enough fare on it, just find the Fare Adjustment Machine and insert your ticket.  The machines are located near the exits.  When you insert your ticket, it will tell you how much money you have to add, and once you do it will give you a new ticket.\n\nAs for the bus, it's actually the opposite of the US and Canada.  You board the bus from the middle door and take a ticket.  The ticket will have a number on it that shows the zone where you got on.  At the front of the bus will be a display with the zone numbers and the current fare for them.\n\nMost busses have automatic announcements for the upcoming stops.  When you hear yours, press the button near your seat.  As you get off, put the fare listed by your number in the coin box along with your ticket and leave through the front door.  If you need change, the coin receiver will usually have a change machine attached to it.\n\nHappy trails!

PC Stripe readers, like their Credit Card POS machine counter-parts, have 2 limits on swiping speed....an Upper limit, and a Lower limit.\n\nWith the technology available a long as 5 years ago, the Upper limit is hard to exceed.  Simply put, it is VERY hard to swipe a card FASTER then the input device can handle.\n\nThat said, how many of us have watched a clerk trying to swipe your credit card having a problem getting it to read....this person 'assumes' that they are going to fast, and instinctivly slows down the swipe-speed, causing the subsequent reads to fail....but for a different reason: it was TOO SLOW.\n\nFaster is Better.  You also want to purchase a Bi-Directional Reader....this allows you to swipe in either direction.

You are pretty much going to find the same price for Disney no matter where you go. If you do find a differnt price, it will be very small. I tend to look more at service than just price. Here a few recommendations to help you.\n\nStay on site. It is a lot nicer than having to have a car to get around or rely on off-property transportation. Disney's transportation works really well. The service and quality of the stay will be much nicer at Disney than an off-property. Value resorts run just about the same amount as some off-site and you will be a lot closer.\n\nTickets this year have a great price. The longer the ticket, the more the price averages down per day, down to $30 if you get a 10 day. You can then add on hopping and water parks. So you can get the exact ticket you want.\n\nThe dining plan is also a great deal this year. It is really affordable and can save you a lot of money. \n\nThere are some online discounters. I don't recommend using them to book the trip. One reason, you have to take care of everything for your trip. If you don't know a lot about Disney this can be really difficult and you may not get everything you want. Plus, some sites don't even offer Disney resorts, the ones that do have been higher than what I can get thru my travel agent. Finally, I have known some people that booked thru an online discounter, arrived at the resort and discovered there booking was never made and they didn't have a place to say. The site would not do anything, so they had to pay for the vacation twice. From what I have heard from a lot of people, online discounters can be a nightmare and a lot of times the problems can't even be fixed. It's really a bad way to start out your vacation. \n\nI highly recommend http://mousetrips.com/ This is the travel agency I use to book all of my trips. They are wonderful and will provide you with the best service. They are quick and can help you with everything you need. They will answer all your questions, take care of the booking, dining, etc. They can help you to plan a really nice trip and get the most for what you are spending. I use them for all my trips and I have been more than satisfied every time with them. They will even lower your price if a discount comes out, you don't even have to tell them and they will have it done. They don't charge anything for the service and their price is the same as Disney. They really take the stress out of the planning so you can enjoy it.\n\nHope this helps!

The airline ticket definition is modern-day.  There's another, more old-school meaning as well.  (I'm dating myself here.)\n\nBack in the "olden days" when you went to Disneyland, you couldn't just ride every ride.  You paid a small admission to get in, but in order to go on the attractions, you had to have individual tickets.  Tickets ranged from "A" tickets (to go on the tamest of the kiddie-rides) to "E" tickets (for Space Mountain, the Matterhorn, etc.)\n\nIt went down in American lexicon that to be "E-ticket" meant you were adventuresome or that something was really excellent, fun, or exciting.\n\n[There's some mid-to-late twentieth-century history for you.  Fun, huh?]

Walt was in debt way beyond his means to build Disneyland and only managed to buy enough land for the park and parking lots. Shortly after Disneyland proved to be a success, motels and gas stations and restaurants popped up on the streets surrounding the park. Walt didn't like the abrupt transition from his Happiest Place on Earth to modern reality and regretted not having more land to surround his property as a buffer zone, as well as to expand the park itself. Disneyland was the first Theme Park, and was often referred to as "Walt's Folly". Experienced amusement parks thought it would fail, and the concept of a second ticket to a different park was not thought of.\n\nIn the late 50's/early 60's Walt started scouting for a new place to build his dream park, with enough land surrounding it to hold whatever they could dream up. There were other conditions too, like proximity to a major airport and highways. The Disney company began buying Florida swampland under assumed names (in order to kep the price down) until word got out that Disney was buying the land. They created their own legislative district as well, and worked on supplying their own power, water, and other utilities.\n\nBefore his death, Walt already had big plans for "the Florida project". The Magic Kingdom would be built in Florida, and the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT, which is now more of a permanent world's fair). Additionally, they would build hotels on the property. Sadly, Walt died before Disney World opened in 1971, but the company has been expanding the resort ever since.\n\nIt was as a result of the success of Disney World that other operators (including Disneyland management) saw the value in a second gate ticket and in keeping people on property to spend their dollars at Disney. Disneyland now has a second gate in California Adventure, and has built several new hotels in addition to the original Disneyland Hotel.\n\nMore information on the development of Disney World can be found at the link.
