Will Disney World Start Charging for FastPass?
It's been 54 months since I asked a question about Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Florida resort that will only get louder in the coming weeks and months. Will Disney World start charging for FastPass?
The catalyst at the time was Disneyland in California unveiling MaxPass, a premium offering where folks could square away access to expedited FastPass queues from their mobile devices. It was just $10 a day per guest for enhanced access to the free in-park system, but it was also the start of the monetization process.
This week Disneyland Paris introduced Disney Premier Access, a paid service that gives buyers the ability to shave their wait times by reserving a spot in a dedicated fast lane. It's a far more lucrative platform than MaxPass, and it may be just a matter of time before Disney's most visited theme park resort follows suit. If you thought a day at a Disney World theme park was expensive before, just wait until Disney turns on its FastPass lines again.
