How FASTPASS works?
- Look for the FASTPASS distribution sign near the entrance of the attraction you want to ride.
- Check for the return time displayed on the sign.
- If the return time works for you, scan your valid park admission ticket at the FASTPASS machine.
- The machine will generate a FASTPASS ticket printed with your return time. A valid FASTPASS ticket displays attraction name, a time period you can return to the attraction and a time when you can get another FASTPASS ticket.
- Return to the FASTPASS return entrance at your return time, show your FASTPASS ticket to the Cast Member at the attraction and enjoy a minimal wait in line.

WHERE TO BOOK CHEAP FLIGHTS TO HONG KONG?
To search for cheap flights to Hong Kong, I highly recommend using the Traveloka App. It's a travel booking app that gives so many options and low fares for flights from Manila, Cebu, Davao, Clark, and other ASEAN cities to Hong Kong. The best thing about using the Traveloka App is that aside from the cheap flights, they also provide weekly promos and discount codes that will give you more savings on your airfare.
