PAID fastpass test?

By dlpfanatic

Please tell us what you think about the VIP fastpass system by leaving us a comment at the bottom of the article.

It has been reported that Disneyland Paris is to trial a new Fastpass service, more importantly a paid service.

The test is expected to run from 19th June to the 2nd August 2009 and you can buy the VIP fastpass, for the first time ever, from the receptions at either the Disneyland Hotel or the Disney’s Hotel New York.

From the 19th June the price will be €100 per person for one day and from the beginning of July the price will decrease to €80 per person per day, which does suggest that Disney are testing out the price.

The VIP fastpass is the same as the ones you get if you stay at the Castle Club, Empire State Club or the Hotel Suites but anyone can now buy the VIP privilege.

Basically what you pay for is the privilege of instantly entering the Fastpass queue at the attractions that use the Fastpass system all day so instead of waiting around for your time slot and then having to wait again to get another time slot you can immediantly make use of the system for example you arrive at the park, purchase your VIP fastpass, head over to Space Mountain go into the fastpass line then straight afterwards you can queue in the fastpass for, say, Big Thunder Mountain.

Edit: With thanks to Kristof from photosmagiques.com – this is the current design of the VIP Fastpass ticket:

please note that this hasn’t been officially confirmed by Disney therefore it is still a rumour until further notice, please send us a comment if you visit the resort and can confirm that Disney are selling VIP fastpass tickets, thank you.

    This will be interesting to see. I wonder if proves to work as a “VIP” pass if Disney will do away with “free” FASTPASS – much like Universal’s Express program. We’ll see..

    Thanks for the post. Great Blog. Would you mind if I linked to it through my FASTPASS Guide site at fastpassguide.com?
