[Question] 45 Min Fastpass wait for Cars Racers?

[JerrodDRagon]

I was reading today the Dateline Disneyland and it said that the line for Fastpass (for Radiator Springs Racers) is 45 Mins when the park opens...has anyone waited in line for Fast Pass and how long did you wait for it?

Re: 45 Min Fastpass wait for Cars Racers?

I got In line at 7:30 on a Sunday and it took me about 15 min to work my way trough the line and I was near the back of it. I was in front of the imaginenation studio when the park opened. And so you know the line wraps in front of carthy and goes down hollywood.

Re: 45 Min Fastpass wait for Cars Racers?

Yeah, I waited about half an hour for a FP as well back in June. It's really not all that bad because the line is almost constantly moving. If it's a big issue, you can grab breakfast to eat while in line to keep productive and once you're close to Cars Land, you can watch people on Mater's, which is always fun.

Forget Fastpass. Single Rider line is the way to go. We were there yesterday at about 3:30 and waited only 45 minutes.

Re: 45 Min Fastpass wait for Cars Racers?

I went the for Cars Land's second weekend. I got there 15 minutes before the park opened and the line went to the Hollywood bathrooms. Once the park opened, it was only about 15 minutes until I got to the fastpass station, so I'm not sure where that 45 minute time frame comes from unless they are including the time people are waiting before the park opens. By the time I did get to the fastpass distribution area, they were giving out fastpasses for 11:55.

The gates open at 7:30, but the park dosn't open till 8:00.
At 7:30 they let you line up for RSR fastpasses, that will be distributed at 8 when the park opens. Once the line starts to move it's only 10 mins or so. So if you count the 1/2 hour that the park is not open for, yes, it's about 45 min wait. It moves quick because the cast members put your card(s) in the machines for you.
They run out of FP's quick though. I think within the first two or three hours.

And the MOST IMPORTANT THING: You only need one member of your group in the fast pass distribution line with all the valid passports (your other guests have to have entered the park for it to be a valid passport) The line gets crowded if 8 people are all waiting together and the roped off area is not that wide.

I usually never visit Disneyland in the morning hours when the park is opened.

I have always did the single rider line RSR with my whole family with me. Never waited more than 45 mins. Get to ride it at least 2 times one in the day and one at night.

I don't see what the point of riding it as a group because no one will be talking on the ride, you guys will be enjoying the scenery. You guys can talk once you get off the ride.

Some people like having the shared experience. In addition, it is fun to get the photo if the entire car is filled with just your group.

Re: 45 Min Fastpass wait for Cars Racers?

The other cool thing if you're with a group of people and choose the single rider line, knowing you will be split up, is that you may end up racing your friend(s) in the other car! It's random and there's no way to know if you are in the right set of cars or seat placement, but it's fun when it happens!

But with fast pass you can ask for the front if you want it.

Re: 45 Min Fastpass wait for Cars Racers?

I'm curious, when do you guys think the lines will start getting shorter? I am going in October, 10-12, and I really don't want to spend this much time on one ride :/

Well...to be honest I don't think we'll really see the line go down....until after Chrstmas...I mean some random days this year wont be that bad but for the most part the lines will be pretty long until the off season next year

Re: 45 Min Fastpass wait for Cars Racers?

Wow I must be lucky, I got a fp return from 1-2:15pm but had to show up an hour late because my carthay reservations exactly at that time and went all the way down the fp lane in 10 mins

My one ride in the back seat was better than the other three in the front seat because it was easier to see the scenery without a blurry windowshield in front.

I went as far as Feb 2013 (a weekday) and the app I have said 2 hrs wait times. They all are reccomending getting there early.
