Disney wo n’t say whetherU.S. parksmay one day do the same .

Disneyland Paris has started advertising its new service “ Disney Premier Access , ” launching this summertime ( and yes , it has the same name as the Disney+ divine service for watching theatrical spillage at base for a higher price ) . First reported byWDW News Today , Disney Premier Access appoint guests between € 8 ( about $ 9.50 ) and € 15 ( about $ 18 ) to reserve a berth in the “ designated firm lane”—in other words , to expend the service that used to be destitute with FastPass .

It ’s not the first clock time we ’re determine paid FastPass programme at Disney Parks ( no surprise , look at the FastPass systemhad its issues ) . Disneyland has the MaxPass programme while Disney World has FastPass+ . However , both of those options were in improver to the free FastPass syllabus ( it ’s also important to note that they ’ve been suspended during the fresh coronavirus pandemic , along with FastPass itself ) . In addition , Disneyland Paris is n’t the first park to implement Disney Premier Access . Shanghai Disneyland looks to havequietly replacedits FastPass program with the give armed service last yr — although that one is through software system , not per - ride payment . However , the increase in these pay - to - play program is adding fuel to the rumors of replacing the loose FastPass program in the U.S. parks , which have circulate for year . agree toOrlando Weekly , Disney Parks have been working on monetizing queue jumping since the mid-2000s . Disney would n’t remark on whether the U.S. parks would be switch to Disney Premier Access , stating that it ’s only a Disneyland Paris ( andShanghai Disneyland ) programme at this fourth dimension .

However , just because FastPass is gone at Disneyland Paris does n’t mean folks are doomed to wait four 60 minutes or more every metre they desire to go on Peter Pan ’s Flight . The park has also been follow up Standby Pass , a practical queue system that lets guests digitally keep their post in line for certain attraction . alas , Standby Passes are n’t uncommitted all the time , like FastPasses usually are . They ’re only implemented on select ride to reduce crowding and service with social distancing . Because we’restill in the midriff of a global pandemic .
