Get the Most Out of Your FastPass

Long lines and restless guests in popular queues are a thing of the past at walt Disney World. At least it is for those who choose to take advantage of Disneys free service: FastPass.

So what is it?

FastPass debuted in 1999 and was embraced as a brilliant innovation in theme park engineering. This computerized system allows visitors to avoid standing in line for the most popular attractions throughout the walt Disney World Resort. Many guests did not understand the system at the time and some still do not. As a matter of fact, during the three and a half years I was a cast member at the Disney-mgm Studios, I would often overhear guests remark: Hey, thats not fair! Those people pay extra and get to cut ahead of us in line!

How does it work?

The FastPass attraction reservation system is very simple to use and best of allits free. Go to a participating show or ride, locate the FastPass machine and insert an admission ticket for each person in your party who wishes to enter the attraction. The FastPass machine reserves a return appointment for your party and prints a pass for each ticket with a one-hour window (for example, 10:20-11:20 a.m.). From here, you can feel free to explore the less crowded attractions in your selected park. During that one hour time frame, you can usually squeeze in two (maybe three) smaller attractions instead of waiting in that bloated line. Give yourself at least 15 minutes to be able to make it back in time for your designated FastPass time. When you arrive at the attraction, simply hand the cast member standing in front of the FastPass entrance your passes and youre in!

Wow, thats so cool! I think Ill get one for every ride!

Not so fast. In order for Disneys FastPass system to work properly, they had to implement restrictions on the amount of FastPasses a guest can hold during a given period of time. Each guest may hold one FastPass for one attraction every two hours or after the one hour window expires; whichever comes first. Why? If everyone were able to come in to the parks and get a FastPass for every attraction at once it wouldnt be very fast, would it?

Great, Im ready to go!

The most important factor in getting what you want out of your disney World visit is time management. Now that you know the FastPass system inside and out, youll be able to get out there and experience more of what the walt Disney World Resort has to offerfaster, of course!

Improve Your Golf Swing for More Club Head Speed

For the club to apply all of the energy we put into it into the golf ball it must swing freely through as if it were a pendulum.

Using the standard roll over fore arm actions this requires great timing, since the downward un-cocking of the wrists must be coordinated and timed with the rolling over actions of the forearms.

Due to this type of arm action only those who have been blessed with excellent hand eye coordination are able to learn it easily. These people could learn to juggle or do a similarly difficult skill quickly, where those who are not blessed with these skills from birth must labor long and hard to learn it if they ever learn it at all.

golf instructors and driving ranges love this since those struggling to improve their play (most players) need guidance and practice to make small slow progress.

When the wrists are allowed to hinge freely without rolling the forearms amazing things happen, the ball goes far and flies straight.

This type of release allows the total transfer of the energy we put into the club into the back of the ball.

The ability to allow the club to swing freely requires a relaxed grip and the correct application of the right hand hit.

This hit can best be described as a tossing action of the right hand as it passes between the left hand and the ball. The right hand must not roll over the left hand, rather it rolls under it.

Done this way all of the energy goes into the ball instead of some of it actually hitting ourselves. This hitting of ourselves is a result of the club and left arm getting into a too straight line vertically as the left wrist reaches the bottom of its travel.

Often this causes pain in the left elbow area (of right handed players).
