Using Your Disney’s MaxPass FastPass

Take your phone to the FastPass queue for the appropriate attraction and scan your barcode on the FastPass Machine.  It will chime and you will enter the queue.  Some attractions will require a second scan as you get closer to the loading gates so keep your phone handy until you have boarded the attraction.

If you have selected FastPasses for multiple people you pull up the barcode for each person by swiping right or left on the barcode to bring up the next person’s name and FastPass barcode.  You don’t even have to lift your phone up from the machine; just scan the barcode, hear a chime, swipe, hear a chime, swipe, hear a chime and so on.

The app will also let you know when you can select your next FastPass.

Remember the second benefit of MaxPass is that all your PhotoPass photos from that day are available to download.  So be sure to take advantage of PhotoPass Photographers and add all your on-ride photos to the app so you can download them.

MaxPass is a great offering for added convenience of selecting FastPasses and purchasing your your PhotoPass photos.  Keep this in mind for your next trip.

  1. We got to try out MaxPass this winter and it was definitely worth it for us. In fact, if we had to choose, we would pick MaxPass over the Park Hopper option.
