Disneyland is currently still using the classic paper return fastpass, so you just need to scan your park admission ticket at a kiosk cart near Matterhorn to get a return time. Currently this appears to be a temporary set up, but with construction in progress close by, we assume that a more permanent Fastpass distribution area will be revealed at a later date.
So, if you’re going to Disneyland soon with the hopes to ride Matterhorn Bobsleds, be sure to arrive early as we imagine that this will be a huge hit and Fastpasses will go quick! Also, with the summer crowds coming soon, expect extended stand by wait times for Matterhorn.
Matterhorn Fastpasses are great news, but that’s not all! Over at Disney’s California Adventure, Toy Story Mania also received Fastpass service as well! This will really help make navigating the resort during busy season a little easier.
In the Hollywood section of the park work is coming closer to a close on the Tower of Terror’s transformation into Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!

Disney confirmed that the attraction will have 6 different experiences and each with it’s own soundtrack with the songs listed below.

Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! Galactic Premiere Party will be held May 26th from 7 pm – 1 am! The price is a bit hefty at $150 for entry into the event. It’s worth noting that the price does not include day admission into Disney’s California Adventure, but it includes opportunities to ride the new attraction as many times as you would like during the event plus, the chance to see all 6 experiences that the attraction will be programmed with.
There will also be a panel discussion with imagineers who helped bring Mission Breakout to life.
