Have you ever heard of the Buddy Pass?
Yes, the Buddy Pass. Legends speak of a special piece of paper that occasionally appears, granting guests the ability to enter specific attractions through the exit queue. The Buddy Pass has been the subject of many mysterious discussions and scientific research, even if some people compare it to the Yeti or the Loch Ness Monster, claiming it’s just a myth…
Well, let me set the record straight: the Buddy Pass is real, and I’m here to tell you all about it!
So, what is the Buddy Pass?
Okay, let’s get things straight: the Buddy Pass is only available at Disneyland, and only for two attractions: Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! and the Winnie the Pooh ride, where it’s called the Roo Pass.
The Buddy Pass is essentially a special type of FastPass that allows two adults, or one adult with up to two children, to enter a ride through the exit queue. To get one, simply ask a nearby staff member if any Buddy Passes are available. These passes can save you valuable time, especially for attractions like Monsters, Inc. This ride often experiences high wait times, and it’s not uncommon for the line to reach 45 minutes during peak hours.
The Buddy Pass also shares similarities with the single rider system, as you cannot choose specific seats. It is often used to fill available seats on certain rides. While this allows you to enjoy a shorter wait time, there is a chance that you may not be seated next to your friend or family member.
There you have it, folks! The next time you're near the Monsters Inc. Ride or Winnie the Pooh, ask the queue staff if they have any Buddy Passes available. Even if you might not sit next to your friend, it's still a great way to save valuable time. And we all know, time is money at theme parks!
