Description
A FastPass is an instrument that Walt Disney World offers that allows its owners to enter a special, shortened line for a specific ride during a specific time period. It effectively allows a guest to avoid the potentially lengthy wait in the regular line. Guests can only get a limited number of FastPasses for a day, and FastPasses are limited for each ride and each time period. Further, having a FastPass for a ride when the park first opens is not very useful because few rides have more than a five-minute wait in its normal line.However, by midday, almost every ride has a significant wait. Our project explored what times a FastPass becomes most needed or useful for special rides in the Magic Kingdom.
