Howdy, Mark! Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel and asking your question!
Hooray! In just over a month you will be having a blast at the Disneyland Resort! I am so glad that you are interested in Disney MaxPass. This new feature is seriously a game-changer when it comes to touring the parks the efficiently. You’ll be glad to know that you can easily purchase Disney MaxPass in the
Disneyland app once you have entered either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park for the first time. After everyone’s ticket has been scanned at the gates, you can then tap the “Get FASTPASS with Disney MaxPass” option in your account dashboard in the app. If you haven’t already linked your tickets to the app, you will do so at this time to create a FASTPASS party. Simply scan the barcodes on the tickets into your app to link them to your account. Be sure to give a name to each ticket as you scan them in as this will make it easier to know which ticket belongs to whom when you are selecting FASTPASSES. After that, just follow the prompts to complete your purchase and select your first FASTPASS of the day.
If you have Park Hopper tickets, you will be able to select FASTPASSES for either park no matter which park you are currently experiencing. Also, pay attention to the time listed when you can select your next FASTPASS. You can make another selection either immediately after you have redeemed one or when the time to select the next one has arrived. To help you keep track of your next FASTPASS return time window, modify your account settings to allow notifications from the app. This will also notify you of any forthcoming
dining reservations you have planned.
Please stop by again if you have any other questions about Disney MaxPass or anything about your upcoming trip!
