BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 TMSM is reporting that FASTPASS+ Testing will begin at MK next week... As part of the preparations for the new FASTPASS+, next week the Magic Kingdom will be doing testing for the new system on both of their parades, ‘Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade’ and the ‘Main Street Electrical Parade.’ The testing is scheduled to run from April 29 to May 3 2013, with FASTPASS tickets being given out at random to lucky guests throughout the park. The FASTPASS area will be in the center of Town Square, so you have the best view. Once MyMagic+ and FASTPASS+ are in full swing, most parades and shows will feature FASTPASS. http://www.themainstreetmouse.com/2013/04/27/testing-for-the-new-fastpass-begins-next-week-at-the-magic-kingdom/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Confirmation has come from The Mouse that FASTPASS testing will take place for the Celebrate a Dream ComeTrue Parade and Main Street Electrical Parade, April 29-May 3. The FASTPASS parade viewing area will be location in the inner area of Town Square on Main Street. During the testing, FASTPASS tickets will be randomly given to Guests in the park on a first come, first serve basis. As with the FASTPASS testing that recently took place for Fantasmic at Disney's Hollywood Studios, holding a parade FASTPASS ticket will not preven a Guest from getting a FASTPASS ticket for another attraction. Word is that this testing may or may not result in parade FASTPASSES being part of the final park offerings under the new MyMagic+ system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
