Guide to FastPass & MaxPass at Disneyland
Disneyland and Disney California Adventure offer free FastPass and paid MaxPass ride reservation systems to skip the standby line. This guide covers the pros & cons of each, tips & tricks for choosing the best FastPasses, strategy that will save you the most time, plus whether you should spend money and upgrade to MaxPass. (Updated February 4, 2020.)
We’ll start with something of an update, as we just spent a couple weeks at Disneyland for the grand opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. While that blockbuster new attraction notably does not offer FastPass, MaxPass, or a standby line (full details in our Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Disneyland Strategy Guide), one thing it does require is being inside Disneyland before park opening.
That will likely be the case for the remainder of 2020. Consequently, there’s even more value in purchasing MaxPass than normal. You can book your first MaxPass the moment you enter Disneyland, even before official rope drop. By contrast, we would’ve had to wait another 30-45 minutes each morning to grab our first paper FastPass. We used MaxPass every single day and even with off-season crowds, absolutely loved it. MaxPass allowed us to do 3-4 extra rides per day, which was a huge advantage.
Suffice to say, we recommend MaxPass. (Important note: this recommendation and the accompanying commentary was made when the price was $15 per person per day. As we discuss in the commentary to our MaxPass Price Increase & New Ride Details, it’s a much closer call now.)
The cost is $20 per person per day (but you can save money on park tickets by purchasing Get Away Today’s tickets with MaxPass; see more in our Guide to Discount Disneyland Tickets). Plus, as noted above (and covered in more depth below), MaxPass will allow you to do several more attractions per day as compared to traditional FastPass.
We’ll underscore that point again: yes, FastPass is free at Disneyland. This is the number one question we hear from first-timers, most of whom assume there’s some sort of catch since other theme and amusement parks charge for their front-of-line service. FastPass is totally free–no catch. As noted above, MaxPass costs $20 per day, but it means less walking and doing more.
If you’re a Disneyland regular, you know the ins and outs of FastPass and MaxPass. It’s second nature. However, if you’re a first-timer, it’s not so simple. It’s also not all that intuitive, particularly since Disneyland no longer really provides information (or signage) to guests about the complimentary FastPass service, and the only MaxPass info is usually a pop-up in the Disneyland app.
Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s cover some of the basics. FastPass is essentially a virtual queueing system for select attractions at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Not exactly a front of the line ticket, but close. The key difference between this and a front of the line system is that you are waiting for an attraction…you’re just not physically waiting in the line.
You go to a FastPass kiosk at an attraction (let’s say Radiator Springs Racers) at 9 a.m. The current wait time is 90 minutes. The FastPass return time is 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. You obtain a FastPass reminder paper, and go have breakfast at Flo’s V8 Cafe, do some shopping, and return at 10:30 a.m., scan your park ticket to enter the FastPass return line, and wait ~10 minutes before boarding the attraction. You’ve waited over 90 minutes to ride…you just waited somewhere else.
That’s just one example with arbitrary numbers chosen. Sometimes you wait less time than the current standby wait, but more frequently, you wait longer. Since your line is virtual, you can be in more than one place at once: virtually in line at Radiator Springs Racers and physically in line at Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters.
Hopefully, that explained the basic mechanics of how FastPass works, here are some additional rules and answers to frequently asked questions:
- Unlike some front of line passes, FastPass is not unlimited. You cannot grab a second FastPass until the time on your FastPass reminder indicates one will be available.
- Normally, your next FastPass can be drawn either at the start of the return window for your first one, or 2 hours from the time you grabbed your previous FastPass, whichever is earlier. Example A: You grab FastPass #1 at 8 a.m., and your first FastPass window is 9 – 10 a.m.; you’ll usually be able to grab a second FastPass at 9 a.m. Example B: You grab FastPass #2 at 9 a.m. and your window is 2 – 3 p.m.; you’ll usually be eligible for another FastPass at 11 a.m.
- Given Examples A & B above, you should be able to see how you can sometimes hold multiple FastPasses simultaneously…but not always.
- There’s a limited supply of FastPasses, and return times are based upon demand. You will most often see return times far later in the day for attractions that are most popular/have the longest wait times. Only so many FastPasses are issued for each hour of the day, and return times are based upon demand. Radiator Springs Racers will almost always have a return time far later in the day.
- By contrast, the following attractions routinely have a return time that is shorter than the standby wait: Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Haunted Mansion, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
- FastPass distribution occurs in designated areas near attractions. Signs make these areas easy to find. The notable exception to this is Radiator Springs Racers, which has FastPass distribution outside of a bug’s land.
- When acquiring FastPasses, give them to one person in your party and send that person as the designated runner. They do not actually have to run to get the FastPasses, but bonus points if they do! 😉
- World of Color and Fantasmic are not connected to the FastPass system used for attractions. You can always hold these simultaneously with one another and other attractions.
- Disneyland Resort does not use FastPass+ for scheduling multiple FastPasses weeks or months in advance. Whether MaxPass or FastPass, it’s all a same-day, one-at-a-time system at Disneyland.
- There is literally no reason not to use FastPass at Disneyland. You are at a significant disadvantage if you choose not to use it.
One thing to know is that the FastPass systems in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are now connected, meaning you cannot game the system by getting one FastPass and immediately Park Hopping to get another. This is a trick that worked for a long time, but it no longer does. (If you see this still mentioned on older posts here, please let us know in the comments of those posts–we are trying to update this info site-wide.)
Another thing to know is that Disneyland’s paper FastPasses distributed at kiosks are actually just “reminder” slips. The actual FastPass is tied to your park ticket, and you will scan your ticket to redeem your FastPass, not the FastPass reminder. (If you used your phone as your ticket, that means scanning the bar code on there.)
The system seems designed so that it can eventually be utilized with MagicBands, or NFC technology like the Apple Watch, but as of right now, it’s a bit clunky with the FastPass reminder and ticket system.
FastPass Strategy
We cover this in passing in our 1-Day Disneyland Park Itinerary and 1-Day Disney California Adventure Itinerary, but figured we’d offer bullet points with FastPass priorities here for each park, as well.
These rankings are determined by a combination of when FastPass distribution normally ends for each particular attraction, plus average standby waits. Whether an attraction is currently an “instant” FastPass is also factored in…
Disneyland
- Space Mountain
- Matterhorn Bobsleds
- Indiana Jones Adventure
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
- Splash Mountain (summer visits only)
- Star Tours: the Adventures Continue
- Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin
- Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters
- Autopia
- Haunted Mansion
Disney California Adventure
- Radiator Springs Racers
- Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!
- Incredicoaster
- Toy Story Midway Mania
- Soarin’
- Grizzly River Run (summer visits only)
- Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sully to the Rescue
- Goofy’s Sky School
In some cases, you’re probably better off revisiting attractions near the top of the list if FastPasses are still available, rather than going directly down it. For instance, Goofy’s Sky School is a total waste of time, so I’d recommend getting a second Incredicoaster FastPass (for nighttime–it’s better then) instead of a first Goofy’s Sky School FastPass. Likewise, if Haunted Mansion has a 10 minute wait and Indiana Jones Adventure has a 60 minute wait, get a second FastPass for Indy, and do Haunted Mansion via standby. The above is just a resource, not a step by step itinerary.
Disneyland has confirmed that Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sully to the Rescue in DCA and Autopia in Disneyland will soon be offering Disney FastPass and MaxPass. Both attractions are aimed at families with kids, which is a type of attraction underrepresented by the the ride reservation services. We expect more additions like this as Disneyland tries to make MaxPass more appealing to guests with small children.
Note that neither Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge attraction–Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run or Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance–currently offers FastPass or MaxPass. Given that the Florida version just added FastPass, we’re guessing California’s Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run will likewise add FastPass/MaxPass before Summer 2020. Once it does, slot it into the #4 position on the Disneyland list above.
MaxPass
MaxPass is now available at Disneyland Resort. Think of this as a modified version of the My Disney Experience app from Walt Disney World, but with fewer options and a $20/person per day cost.
In addition to being able to book FastPasses via your phone, the $20/day add-on grants guests the ability to download PhotoPass photos taken by Disneyland photographers and on-ride attractions. If you’re a party that would’ve purchased PhotoPass anyway, buying MaxPass is a no-brainer.
In essence, MaxPass plays by almost all of the same rules as the legacy (paper) FastPasses at Disneyland Resort. (Well, just about.) You are paying for the convenience of not walking to a FastPass machine–along with some other advantages that might sound insignificant, but really make a huge difference.
So, why purchase MaxPass? The first and biggest reason for this is crowds. Congestion throughout the parks means a lot of extra time just getting from point to point, and being able to use MaxPass from the phone (e.g. not having to fight the crowds to grab a FastPass) definitely can be advantageous–as would being able to grab MaxPasses while waiting in line for a different attraction. Effectively, MaxPass allows you to be in two places at once.
The second reason why is because of the minimum time window for drawing your next FastPass. Remember that example above (in the bullet point section) illustrating the earliest time you can draw your next FastPass, and how it’s either the start of your next FastPass window or in 2 hours, whichever is earlier?
Well, with MaxPass, the draw window is reduced to 90 minutes. On a busier day, this shorter window can be huge–especially when a lot of attractions are using the 2-hour rule for paper FastPasses. Over the course of an entire day in the park, the advantage of not having to walk to get another FastPass coupled with the condensed draw window of 90 minutes can amount to an extra 3-5 FastPasses. That’s a pretty pronounced advantage over the legacy FastPass system.
Additionally, if you enter the parks prior to official rope drop time, you can immediately start booking MaxPass, whereas you cannot go to the physical locations where FastPasses are distributed until official park opening time. Since the turnstiles always open around 30 minutes before official park opening time, this means you can begin booking MaxPass that much earlier. This is a nice and valuable head start, especially for popular attractions like Radiator Springs Racers.
Another huge advantage is being able to snag MaxPasses that are no longer available as FastPass. When other guests cancel their MaxPasses (which happens a lot), that inventory goes back into the system. For example, on this evening at 8:05 p.m., I scored two FastPasses for Radiator Springs Racers, which had been ‘sold out’ of paper FastPass since about noon! By refreshing the Disneyland app, you can continue to acquire hard-to-get FastPasses via MaxPass until late into the evening.
Then there are the other advantages of MaxPass. While it is same-day only and requires that you enter the park to use the service (meaning no making MaxPass reservations when you wake up late in your hotel, or while stuck in traffic on the 5), it does not use a geofence.
This means that once you’ve used your ticket to enter either Disneyland or Disney California Adventure for the day, you can make MaxPass reservations for either park. In other words, if you decide to take a midday break and go to your hotel for a nap, you can make MaxPass reservations as soon as you wake up.
If you decide to head to Trader Sam’s, you can still make MaxPass reservations. If you’re in line for the Matterhorn, you can make a MaxPass reservation for Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! On our recent 2-week trip for the opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Galaxy’s Edge, we’d frequently rope drop Disneyland and then head to Laguna Beach or Los Angeles from around noon until 7 p.m. During that time, we continued to acquire FastPasses via the app, and used our stockpile when we returned at night.
When it first came out, MaxPass is something we did not recommend, as it didn’t appear to offer much advantage to us initially. Due to adjustments made to MaxPass and also seeing it in action on more crowded days, that’s no longer our assessment.
Now, I couldn’t imagine going back to the paper FastPass system. MaxPass is a revelation, and far better than the FastPass+ system at Walt Disney World. Suffice to say, I recommend MaxPass if you are visiting Disneyland as a tourist and can justify the cost. This is especially true during the busier days in the parks, as the value/utility of MaxPass most definitely increases as the parks get more crowded.
Getting a few extra attractions in per day, saving on the walking, and having PhotoPass included makes it worth the $20/person cost, in my estimation. You’re at a definite disadvantage if you don’t purchase it, and buying it definitely gives you a leg up on most other guests visiting Disneyland.
If you would pay a couple of dollars extra (per attraction) to experience a few more headliners per day, MaxPass will probably be worth it to you. While the cost of this will add up quickly, so will those extra attractions. I’d still be surprised to see the MaxPass service catch-on with locals, but if you’re an out-of-towner, it should be on your radar, especially if you have more of a ‘time is money’ perspective.
Overall, the FastPass system at Disneyland is wonderful, and incredibly easy to use once you get the hang of it. There are some features of MaxPass that are incredibly nice and convenient, and the time you’ll save justifies the $20/person/day cost. Once the attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge start offering FastPass and MaxPass that will be even more true!

Your Thoughts
Do you have any additional tips or strategy for using FastPass at Disneyland? Have you tried out the MaxPass system yet? Think being able to do a few extra attractions, not walk as much, and have included PhotoPass is worth the extra $20 per day? Do you agree or disagree with our advice? Share any questions, tips, or additional thoughts you have in the comments!
Absolutely totally recommend MaxPass. It’s simple to use and the longest we waited in a line was about 10 minutes for any attraction. At many attractions we literally walked straight past hundreds of people lining up in the regular line. We rode California Dreaming 3 times in an hour whilst hundreds waited in line. I felt guilty walking past them until I got on the ride and took off!!! So worth the $10 per person. You also get all your photo’s on your phone too which is awesome. Just do it, it’s worth it. The app is quite heavy on your phone battery though so a good idea to take a portable battery charger if you have one.
Now that paper fastpasses are on your park ticket will they show up on my disney experience app? Would be great to manage them that way versus a bunch of paper receipts.
The MDE app is only for WDW… you will need to download the Disneyland app instead, but yes you can manage them through the app.
thats great! Thank you.
We have 4 adults, 2 kids. Will get maxpass for all. The grandmas will want to view all photos on their own phones. We want to share all photos. All log in to my acct or is there a way to share all photos to 4 adult accts? Goal is to avoid grandmas passing photographers their phones and trusting the system. Thanks for all of your tips!!
Thank you for this post – very helpful! We will be visiting DL for one day in March from Wisconsin. It will be our first visit, we have only been to WDW before, so trying to make sure I understand how the FP works at DL. I think we will purchase the MaxPass based on your post, but the Disney website cautions: “guests are strongly advised to check the day’s FP availability before purchasing MaxPass.” However, I can’t figure out how to check FP availability. Do you know how to do this? Can Fast Passes even be booked in advance? Thank you!
DL Fastpasses are only available for the one day; there is no advance scheduling like for WDW. If you want to get a sense of how they flow before your trip, you can download the Disneyland app in advance, and randomly check attractions throughout the day to see their Fastpass status.
How many fast passes can you get with either system in Disneyland or CA?
I’ve only ever been to Disneyland and know the limit there is 3. Does the same apply to Disneyland?
Fastpasses don’t work the same in Disneyland/DCA as in WDW. You can get one Fastpass every two hours, or as soon as your Fastpass time comes up, whichever is shorter. When you get the paper Fastpass reminder it will say on the bottom what time you will be eligible to get a new one. Example 1: 9am you run into DL and grab a Fastpass for Space Mountain. It’s for 12:30pm. You would be eligible to get your next one at 11am. Example 2: 9am you run for your Space Mountain Fastpass and the return time is 9:45am. You would be eligible for your next one at 9:45am.
If you bought MaxPass for your party, the time is only 90 minutes instead of two hours.
Disneyland and DCA are on the same Fastpass system now, so you can’t go get one for Space Mountain, and then immediately run across to DCA and get one for Guardians. The only exceptions to this are Fantasmic! and World of Color; they are not linked to the same system so you can get those anytime regardless of what other Fastpasses you may currently have.
I understand all that. I read the article before posting. My question was more along the lines of is there a maximum. I understand you can only get one every two hours. But if the park is open 14 hours, do you have the potential to get 6-7?
Yes, as long as they haven’t run out for the day 🙂
Wow! That’s awesome! Thanks for the help!
If you’re heading to the park at opening and looking to make the most of your day, spending the $10 for MaxPass is very much worth it. If you plan to buy photos, either ride photos or from the Photopass photographers, you’ll pay 12.99 for each photo individually. The ease of scheduling Fastpasses, as well as the 90 minute window between passes as opposed to the 2 hour normal window, means you can fit a lot more into your day without the extra walking to the Fastpass machines. So you go on more rides, you get more photos, and you aren’t so tired late in the day because you weren’t running back and forth all the time. Win-win-win.
Your return on investment is greatly reduced if you get to the parks later in the day. Your options shrivel and sometimes disappear, depending on popularity that day.
I wasn’t able to tell if we could purchase a one day only upgrade. Based on other reviews online, Disney charges $10 per day. If you have a multi-day ticket it is $10 per day automatically. We were on our last day and it just said “upgrade” without any option for one day vs. multi. We didn’t care about the FastPass only the PhotoPass at that point. Anyone had another experience?
Is anyone able to tell me if we can book different fast pass rides for half our party and other rides for the remainder in Max Pass? In WDW we could do this. My daughter and son have different ride preferences. Also – is there a restriction on the number of fast passes per day per ride (one pet peeve of mine with the WDW app was only once per day could you get a FastPass for each ride). My kids love doing return trips on their favourite rides. 🙂 Thanks!
If you are all set up in one party, the whole party gets the same Fastpass. I have not tried this, but what I would try is to remove some people from your party and have another person start a second party with those people, and manage their Fastpasses. Or else just set it up as two parties from the start, and just coordinate when you select your Fastpasses.
We’ve had three Fastpasses for the same ride (Guardians) in the same day, so as far as I can tell you can keep signing up as long as there are still Fastpasses available.
MaxPass worked great. Just used it at Disneyland on a two day trip with my daughter. We are both AP holders, I linked our 2 passes and was able to schedule our weekend. Totally worth the $10 each day. The 90 minute gap for fastpass is fine. We had 2 -3 events in front of us the whole weekend. Loved the photo ap consolidation. We used the Photo Pass photographers more this trip, got all of those downloaded and you can even download the ride pics. Being able to look at “my plan” at any time was excellent and all of our linked phones were in sync. Another cool thing, is that when Space Mtn went down during our FP time, the FP was automatically converted to a multi event FB so we could use it anywhere anytime. Nice bonus.
Oh, man, thank you so much for this. The way they describe the system on the Disney site itself had me thoroughly confused. A friend of mine and I are headed down from SF for a 3 day cramming in as much as we can (up at 7/in the parks til close) trip and I think this will be worth the 30 p/person cost. We’re actually going at the slowest time of the year, but I am SUPREMELY lazy.
We recently entertained out of town guests with a one day visit to both parks on a busy Friday. Love it or hate it, the MaxPass is an absolute must if you’re trying to optimize your rides. Entering Disneyland at 8 am, we immediately got a fast pass for Radiator Springs, without, of course, going to California Adventure. We were able to ride Mansion, Pirates and Indy before switching parks, then immediately got a fast pass for Guardians of the Galaxy and then…..you get the idea. It’s a killer app if there is no time to waste.
We will visit both parks in December for two days and we are from Germany. Is it right that you have to take your phone with you when you ride? Usually we use lockers for it, but for using the MAX Pass we have to take the phone with us? So where do you leave it?
I’m a little confused by your question. When you go to the grocery store, don’t you carry your phone with you? The same applies in the park – the phone should be with you wherever you go, every day of your life. Whether that be in a backpack, belt clip or the pocket of your cargo shorts, you should always have your phone with you, whether you are in a Disney park or not. Specifically regarding MaxPass, yes, it would make sense to have your phone with you, so you can reserve more passes. You’ll also need your park ticket once you get to each ride though.
Thank you for telling us how to run our lives.
None of the rides at Disneyland go upside down so it’s easy to keep your phone in a pocket or even your purse. I don’t think there’s a single ride I haven’t taken a purse or backpack with me stashed between my legs. Most of the faster rides have little carrying pouches that velcro shut so you can stash a purse, etc.. The only ride that goes upside down in CA Adventure is Screamin’ and I have been able to take a backpack on that as well.
We’re a party of six. I always get PhotoPass, and think of it as money well spent. But $450 for us to have MP seems too steep. (We come to DLR from Canada, and stay for 10 days, so we get APs, rather than tickets. 6 x $75 = $450) It cost us less to hire the services of a professional non-Disney tour guide who also acted as runner for us for a day. In fact, his charge PLUS PhotoPass was still only half of the $450 for MP. I could treat our OC friends, a family of four, to a day in the parks with us for $450. Add in people too short for some FP rides and my DH who won’t ride roller coasters, and it’s pretty hard to see the value–even if I see the advantages of not having to be physically present to grab FPs and the best part, the reduced 90-minute window.
Thanks for this article! I have searched for and read several pieces on the MaxPass and was struggling to understand it and how it was different from the WDW fast passes that I’m used to. We are planning a Southern Cali trip, and I just keep coming back to your site over others.
Thanks for making this easy for me! 🙂
My personal situation is im going to Disneyland with my wife and 2 year old toddler.
We decided to purchase MaxPass. We knew how to work the old fastpass system at Disney world and always had a runner when we didn’t have kids, but now, we’d rather not be rushing to get fastpasses or have a runner and separate during our family vacation.
For that reason, and photopass being included, we think it’s worth the extra $60 on top of our 3-day park hopper tickets. We can take it easy and just reserve our passes on our phone.
Also, like you said, we plan on returning to our hotel so that our toddler can nap, so while we’re there we’ll be able to reserve fastpasses. Totally worth it in my opinion.
Is the new fastpass system affected by getting a fastpass for say world of color. What I’m asking is, if I get a World of Color fastpass, can I still get fastpasses for Disneyland for the rest of the day?
I just spent two days in Disneyland/California Adventure (not a local, flew in from PA for a week vacation there and in Santa Monica/San Diego)….we purchased two day park hopper tickets through the app prior to arriving in CA and added Maxpass. LOVED it. The convenience of being able to obtain a Fastpass while waiting at rope drop at 7:30ish for an 8:30am return time, allowing us to head to obtain a World of Color fastpass at the kiosk (those are not available via Maxpass) and then ride a few rides prior to our window of 8:30 to 9:30 (it was for Radiator Springs). We were able to ride California Screamin twice, Goofy’s Sky School, Toy Story Midway Mania, Mickey’s Fun Wheel, ride several other smaller Paradise Pier rides (carousel, swings, jellyfish) and played the boardwalk games, ride Radiator Springs while obtaining a Fastpass for Guardians, then did Soarin standby…all before lunch at Carthay Circle. We then rode what we wanted in Cars Land, It’s a Bug’s Life, Fastpassed Soarin for a second ride, did the bakery walk-through “tour”, rode Monsters, park hopped to DIsneyland with Fastpasses for Indiana Jones and Thunder Mountain, and went back to CA for a second Fastpass for Guardians, then used our World of Color Fastpass. Now, we do not have kids, so it was just the two of us. So we were able to rope drop and stay all day (though we were exhausted when we got back to the hotel (we stayed at Ayres Hotel Orange which has a shuttle to the parks and is about 2 miles away). We did the same the next day, rope dropped Disneyland and used Maxpass all day. This was our second trip to Disneyland. We just LOVE Maxpass and are glad it is only $10. Would I pay more for it? Yes, for the convenience of being able to use my phone vs. fight the crowds to the kiosks, as they days we were there (August 10 and 11) it was said to be an 8 or a 9 crowd level per the Touring Plans website. How much more? Well, I certainly don’t want to pay $100 per person per day or anything that pricey, but if it stayed around the cost of a park hopper ticket, I would absolutely pay it.
I am wondering if DL will eventually move to magic bands. The cost to Disney may not make it worthwhile since people generally stay longer/spend more money in WDW. I go to WDW in FL every year myself for about 10 days, and I work for a travel agency that mainly books Disney Vacations, so I am very familiar with WDW and the Magic Bands. As for Disneyland, I am so glad they are offering Maxpass, and if $10 is reasonable to you, I definitely suggest using it to it’s full advantage!
I have the premiere passport – so the maxpass should be included….but I keep getting error messages when using the app? It wants me to link a pass – but when I do, I get your pass is already linked. And I’ve yet to be able to actually reserve a fast pass. Any assistance would be appreciate. I have an iPhone SE (size of an iP 5 with the hardware of a 6)
Call the Disneyland Pass Holder customer service number. Just google for the number. They should be able to help you.
thank you! I will give that a try.
I can see the advantages of the convenience of not having to walk around and get fast passes and the 90 min window would be great but for a family of 4 an extra $40 a day over a 5 day trip is another $200 and — yes you get the photos but it is still a big upcharge and like you said it is only an “introductory price”.
If everyone in your party has the MP, does everyone need a phone and the app to use it? I think they can be linked to one person, but I want to make sure before purchasing. Not all of my kids have cell phones.
I had a similar question so I asked the Disneyland Facebook page. They said only one person has to have the app, just make sure everyone in the party’s tickets are linked and all tickets have maxpass or it won’t work. So if three of four had maxpass, even if you had all four passes on the app, only those three would be eligible for the maxpass fastpass. If you have more questions reach out to them on messenger on Facebook they are super helpful.
