Your top FastPass+ Picks for 2020

February 16, 2020 by @Modlifeisgood Leave a Comment

Important Information: FastPass+ will not be returning to Walt Disney World. In its place will be a new paid service called Disney Genie+. Read our guide to learn the latest information on Disney Genie+.

Are you visiting Walt Disney World in 2020? Here are our top FastPass+ Picks for 2020.

Top FastPass+ Picks for 2020 at Walt Disney World
Top FastPass+ Picks for 2020 at Walt Disney World

The Magic Kingdom

There are no tiers for selecting FastPass at the Magic Kingdom. Therefore you have a free choice for your three FastPass selections. Usually, the following attractions attract the longest waits at the Magic Kingdom and if you are visiting for two days you should select them all.

  • Peter Pan’s Flight
  • Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
  • Big Thunder Mountain
  • Splash Mountain unless it is cold
  • Enchanted Tales with Belle
  • Space Mountain

However, if you have only 1 day to visit the Magic KIngdom we would pick the following selections:

  • Peter Pan’s Flight
  • Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
  • Space Mountain

Visit our guide to learn more about developing a Magic Kingdom FastPass strategy.

Epcot

There are 3 big attractions in Epcot:

  • Frozen Ever After
  • Soarin
  • Test Track

Disney only lets you pick one of these Group A attractions, which also includes Epcot Forever, in your initial Fastpass selections. 

Frozen remains the most popular of all three and is usually the hardest FastPass to get. If you don’t have small children, you might consider giving it a miss, but we think it should be most reader’s first-choice.

Test Track has a single rider line. If you are happy not riding together, choose this option if you don’t have a FastPass. You will join a much shorter line and fill in a gap when one becomes available.

All other attractions are in Group B, and you can book up to 2 attractions. Guests who fail to book a Group A Fastpass can use all 3 Fastpasses at Tier B.

While obtaining a FastPass for Group B attractions is worthwhile, most attractions rarely attract large crowds. Your selections very much depend on what your must-do attractions are. We would consider Spaceship Earth and Mission Space(Orange) the best choice for most guests.

Read our Guide to FastPass at Epcot for further information.

Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios has always had Fastpass Tiers, which have restricted your advanced booking of the most popular attractions. You are allowed to book one Tier 1 attraction and two in Tier 2.

From March 4th the Tier 1 attractions at Hollywood Studios will be:

  • Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
  • Slinky Dog Dash 
  • Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

All other attractions are in Tier 2, including Toy Story Mania, Alien Swirling Saucers, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Fantasmic! and more.  

For the first few months after opening, we think you should grab a Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway as your first choice in Tier 1. However, we believe this might change later in the year. We also expect that the initial excitement of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run may also settle. We wouldn’t be surprised, come summer, Slinky Dog Dash would be your number 1 choice, but for now, we recommend it as your third selection.

For Tier 2, you should probably consider booking Toy Story Mania and Tower of Terror.

Rock N’ Roller Coaster attracts long waits, but we recommend using the Single Rider Line. Also, Single Rider is available on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.

We have created a Guide to FastPass at Hollywood Studios that has further information.

Animal Kingdom

The Animal Kingdom does not allow an equal booking to all FastPass attractions. You can only pre-book one Tier 1 FastPass for either Navi River Journey or Flight of Passage. Due to the popularity of these attractions do not expect to get an extra FastPass later in the day.

All other attractions are in Tier 2, and you can book up to 2 attractions. Guests who fail to book a Tier 1 FastPass can make three reservations at Tier 2.

Flight of Passage is currently one of the top attractions at Walt Disney World. Attempt to book a FastPass for Flight of Passage as soon as your reservation window opens. If you can’t get one, keep checking as sometimes they do become available.

You can book another 2 FastPass selections each day, assuming you have secured a FastPass for an attraction in Pandora. For one day, visitors, I would suggest these should usually be Kilimanjaro Safaris & Kali River Rapids. Guests staying for two days should add Dinosaur & The Adventurers Outpost if you want to meet Mickey & Minnie.

Visit our Guide to learn more about FastPass at the Animal Kingdom.
