Fastpass+ Tiers Shifting Slightly at EPCOT and DHS

MyMagic+ Takes the Guest Experience to a New Level with MagicBands

EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are currently the only two Disney parks where you have tiered selection of Fastpass+. This forces the guest to make choices for the first three attractions they experience via Fastpass+ and makes sure the very limited number of e-Ticket style attractions are enjoyable by everyone via the system.

Disney has decided to tweak the system slightly starting June 16 2014.
