LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- There's more time for fun at Walt Disney World Resort with Disney's FASTPASS, an innovative system designed to reduce waiting times at popular attractions and shows. The free service now is available to all park guests at 19 attractions across all four Disney theme parks:

Magic Kingdom: Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, The Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan's Flight

Epcot: Test Track and "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience"

Disney-MGM Studios: Rock'n'Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, Tower of Terror 11, Star Tours, "Voyage of the Little Mermaid," "Jim Henson's Muppet* Vision 3D" and "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!"

Disney's Animal Kingdom: DINOSAUR, Kali River Rapids, Kilimanjaro Safaris and "It's Tough to be a Bug"

Developed totally in-house for use at the most popular attractions, FASTPASS frees guests to enjoy more of the Disney Park they are visiting.

"FASTPASS continues to exceed our guests' expectations," said Bruce Laval, executive vice president of operations planning and development for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "It's a free service and it's making their time in the parks more fun and productive."

At attractions offering FASTPASS, guests will find two clocks: one estimating the wait time in the regular line while the other denotes the current return time for FASTPASS.

For guests choosing FASTPASS, the system is activated when a guest inserts his or her theme park admission ticket in a turnstile, which reads the ticket and prints out a free pass instructing them what time to return. When using FASTPASS, guests cannot request a specific time.

When the guest returns to the attraction's FASTPASS entrance, he or she is able to proceed directly to the attraction pre-show or boarding area with little or no wait.

When the resort introduced FASTPASS, guests could get only one at a time. Now, guests can get a FASTPASS for a second attraction two hours after they get their first FASTPASS. For instance, if one FASTPASS is issued at 10 a.m., the guest will be able to obtain a FASTPASS for another attraction at noon ... or after his or her first FASTPASS time expires -- whichever comes first.

FASTPASS is a revolutionary guest enhancement at Walt Disney World Resort enabling guests to have an alternative to waiting in lines for the most popular attractions. There is no additional charge to use FASTPASS. Here's how it works:

1.   Ticketed guest or annual passholder enters park at front gate.

2.   Guest visits any attraction offering FASTPASS. Here, guest has the option of waiting in the regular standby line or choosing FASTPASS. To assist, there's a digital clock denoting regular wait time and the return time for FASTPASS.

3 .   If the FASTPASS option is chosen, a guest inserts his or her theme park ticket into the FASTPASS turnstile. Out comes the free FASTPASS denoting when to return to the attraction.

Holders of FASTPASS are given a one-hour window for their return -- for example, 10:05-11:05 a.m. That means the guest cannot enter the attraction using FASTPASS before 10:05 but is free to return at any time during the designated one-hour window.

4.   While awaiting their FASTPASS return time, the guest is free to enjoy other areas or attractions in the park. The guest can obtain a FASTPASS for another attraction either two hours after they obtain the first FASTPASS ... or after the first FASTPASS time expires -- whichever comes first.

5.   Upon returning at their designated time, the guest heads straight for the FASTPASS entrance and proceeds directly to the attraction pre-show or boarding area with little or no wait.
