How would you like to get your fastpass on your cell phone for a price. Well Disney has a patent application on getting park guest a option of getting fast passes though your cell phone or even hotel if you are willing to pay for it. Jim Hill Media did a blog about Disney U.S. patent application of fast passes thru phones or hotels. Here’s link to the blog.

I remember Jill Hill talking about this. He mention that you can get this option by being in-park hotel guest only. Which means paying a little more for a extra for the convince of getting fast passes on your cell phone. He even talk about going to a park's on proptey hotel and getting fast passes though your TV. Where you can order fast passes on a TV menu and have them ready for your day at the park.

So, in the future could this be going away.

How would you guy’s feel if places like Six Flags, Cedar Point, Disney, Universal Studios, and Busch Gardens adopted this new system.
Would it be fair? How will they ensure all guest has a chance to get fast passes without them selling out before the park opens. Do we all need cell phones now to get a fastpass in the future? Or are we OK with this going

Bye bye

thats a pretty cool idea but i was wondering one thing
how will they know how many times you've used that fastpass
will the cast member just ask you to delete it or will it just be like a constant connection to the internet with your phone kinda thing
