Disneyland Digital FastPass Rumor

Everyone's getting pretty amped up about the latest rumour hitting the internet about Disneyland.  It's been anticipated since the FastPass+ system was introduced in Walt Disney World a few years ago, but Disneyland has been testing a new digital FastPass system of their own.  While this is still officially a rumour and has not been confirmed by Disney, this one likely and, according to sources, we should be seeing it soon.
For the past year, Disneyland has been quietly toying around with a digital FastPass system here and there so everyone is waiting for the official announcement.  Originally sources expected the new system to be initialized mid-November, but the latest news from more reliable sources pins the date sometime in Spring 2017.  Here's the low-down on how this is supposed to work:
  • Guests will choose FastPasses either through the Disneyland mobile app or at kiosks placed throughout the parks.
  • FastPass selections will be connected to the barcode on admission tickets and scanned at the FastPass Return checkpoints.
  • When the spinning light changes from white to green, the guest is cleared to continue through the line.
  • Paper FastPasses will be gradually phased out in favour of the digital system.
Does this mean that the Disneyland FastPass system will become identical to the FastPass+ system at Walt Disney World?  Word on the street says "no".  Unlike those at Walt Disney World, these FastPasses will not be available in advance of your trip and all other current rules and practices for FastPasses in Disneyland will remain the same.  The only difference is that they will now be digital and only available on your smartphone or at kiosks.

In addition to attractions which currently have them, the rumour also says that the following attractions will be added to Disneyland's FastPass system:
  • Pirates of the Caribbean
  • Peter Pan's Flight
  • Matterhorn Bobsleds
  • Toy Story Midway Mania

Remember that this is still a rumour and has yet to be confirmed by Disney.  We will let you know when we hear any official word but, for right now, I'm actually very excited about this potential change!  Comment below if you have any questions or send them here and we'll be happy to answer with what we know.
