Soarin’ is one of the most popular attractions at Epcot. It is also a Tier One FastPass+ attraction, which means that guests using the system must choose between Soarin’ and the also popular Test Track. The standby line tends to grow long quickly. Walt Disney World is now testing a system that will help to cut down on the amount of time that guests need to wait in the line. New standby cards are being issued. Once the line reaches a certain length, it is cut off and guests are instead handed cards that will give them a time to return to the ride.
A similar system is also being tested at the Magic Kingdom at Princess Fairytale Hall. Once the line for the Anna and Elsa meet and greet reaches a certain point, the cards are handed out. That way guests do not have to wait for hours to meet the two characters.
When guests return, they will need to get back into the standby line. Guests using FastPass+ will still be given priority. The difference is that new guests will not have been admitted into the standby line, only guests with the return cards will be able to board.
There is no word on whether or not the cards will be permanent, or if they will be added for more popular attractions. It is also not known if the standby lines that use the cards will at some point reopen, or if the line will be cut off for good once all the cards have been distributed. Standby cards do not affect your FastPass+ times, and they do not count in your total for the day.
