Will fastpasses still be available at night? About This Page:

We're haeaded to WDW 6/4and I am busy planning away!!! This will be our first ever trip in summer, and I'm a little worried about crowds.

We usually go to the parks first thing in the morning, stay through lunch, go back to the resort to swim/nap, and then head back to the parks for dinner. Since we'll be there at a busy time, will be able to get FPs in the evenings, or will be they all be gone for the day? I mean, I know it depends on the attraction (wouldn't expect to be able to get one for Soarin'), but in general can we find FPs or will be just be waiting in line?

Thanks!

Fastpasses are sometimes avalible at night, but I wouldn't count on them. On my most recent trip to WDW, I got a fastpass for Rock 'n Roller Coaster at about 10:00 am, and the return time was 9:30 pm! (that was day after Christmas, though, so crowds may be a bit lighter.) I would recommend not relying on FPs at night unless you got them before leaving to relax @ the hotel. Have a great time!

Eeek, that's a tough one, and I'd be nervous too. I've never been in summer, but I've been in October and found Fastpasses gone by mid-afternoon for a lot of rides.

It really will depend on the crowd level. Not all the schools in the country are out in early June, so you may have some luck.

I've seen FastPasses available at night, but only a few times and only for certain attractions...and we typically visit in the off season. In Sept, we had no trouble getting a FP in the evening for BTMRR, but Soarin and Test Track were long gone.

As others have said, Fast Passes are often gone early in the day for the most popular attractions.

Since you are going to be going in the mornings, plan on riding the major attractions in the morning, make judicious use of Fast Passes then. You may even be able to get a FP for later in the evening (assuming you are coming back to the same park) before you leave for your nap.

In the evening play things more by ear, do the attractions that have lesser wait times. When the parks are open late, if you are able to stick around, you can often do your faves without much wait.

Most of all, just do what you can and relax and enjoy it all. Even the lines can be ok, because there are lots of details to keep you entertained on many of them.

We last went in August and met a family at our resort we became friends with - sat and chatted with them every morning and every evening. They told us how they got a fastpass for Soarin at 12:30ish and the return time was for 8pm! They walked by the fastpass section not too long after that and the fastpasses were gone by 1:00. We were at Epcot that same day, got our fastpass for Soarin around 10 and the return time was something like 12:00. Just goes to show how fast they go - in only a couple hours the return time jumped 8 hours. You could very likely end up getting a fastpass early with a late return time that time of year with them being totally gone early in the day.

are you staying for EMH? if so, you probably wont have a problem getting on any attractions at nighttime.
they usually do go by afternoon for the more popular ones.

Soarin' and Test Track are usually gone by lunchtime.
I wouldn't count on ToT or RnRC fastpasses being available, but Star Tours should be.
Some of the MK fastpasses should still be available if you arrive around dinnertime, but I would expect a few of them (Space Mountain, Peter Pan's Flight) would be gone.

okay, kind of what I figured. We will be doing PM EMHs though, so hopefully we'll have some luck with that.

Thanks
