Download the Official APP

Disney has an official APP to find your location, enquire about the map, the anticipated waiting times, and the time arrangement of shows, and to search for the catering and restroom facilities.

Fast Pass

Fast Pass is the best way to reduce queuing time! It can help you to save a lot of time. The projects with Fast Pass officially published by Disney are as follows:
TRON Lightcycle Power Run – Tomorrow Land Theme Park
Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue – Tomorrow Land Theme Park
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – Dream World Theme Park
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh – Dream World Theme Park
Peter Pan’s Flight – Dream World Theme Park
Roaring Rapids – Adventure Isle Theme Park
Soaring Over the Horizon – Adventure Isle Theme Park

You can get a Fast Pass by scanning the QR code on the entrance ticket at the Tourist Service Center. But the Fast Pass of a project can only be got at its corresponding Theme Park. For example, you can only get the Fast Pass of TRON Lightcycle Power Run at the Tourist Service Center of Tomorrow Land. A Fast Pass indicates the time when you can get another one. You can only get another Fast Pass after 2 hours. In general, the Fast Passes of all the projects may be handed out at nearly 1 p.m. So if you enter the Resort at 9 a.m. (you’d better to get a Fast Pass first), you can get the first Fast Pass at once, the second one at 11 a.m. and the third one at 1 p.m.

About Queuing Time

Due to the large number of visitors, the queuing time is at least 1.5 hours on average, with that of popular projects reaching 3-4 hours and that of some small projects reaching over 1 hour. So you’d better prepare for it. You’d better get a Fast Pass as soon as possible.

Float Parade

Fireworks show at night

There are two float parades at 13:00 and 16:30 respectively. It is recommended to queue up for some popular projects instead of watching the parade at 13:00. There may be fewer people in the queue at that time, so you could save a lot of time. And at 16:30, you can watch the float parade with lots of classic cartoon characters.

About Shows

There are many shows and the schedules can be enquired about with the official APP. Among them, the Frozen Singing Pageant is the most recommended. Some travelers have even seen it twice. The Disney performers work very hard and very well with a strong dynamic.

About the Fireworks Laser Show at Night (Luminous Phantom Show)

You’d better ask the staff about the show. If there is a Luminous Phantom Show, you really should not miss it.
