<p>This collection of Disney-dedicated websites from around the web lists just a few of my favorites:</p>
<h2>TowerOfTerror.org</h2>
<p>Matt from <a href="http://www.studioscentral.com/">StudioCentrals.com</a> runs this nearly ten-years-old tribute site to the Tower of Terror. This is the quintessential site on all things Tower &#8211; from <a href="http://www.towerofterror.org/history/origin#.UuZ2nBDTmK4">the story of how the Tower was conceived and built</a> to <a href="http://www.towerofterror.org/library/secrets-disneyland-tower-terror#.UuZ3VBDTmK4">how the special effects work</a> (among other secrets). <strong>Caution</strong> &#8211; obsessives have been known to get lost here for hours. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h2>DoomBuggies</h2>
<p>A fiendishly <a href="http://doombuggies.com/">fun tribute &#8220;dead-icated&#8221; to Disney&#8217;s Haunted Mansion</a>, the <em>other</em> delightfully haunted Disney attraction! DoomBuggies.com &#8220;accompanied&#8221; me on a recent trip to the Magic Kingdom, where I explored the backstory and secrets of The Haunted Mansion via my mobile phone while waiting in line. SO many secrets packed into one ride, and this site explains &#8217;em all!</p>
<h2>Dejiki</h2>
<p>If you can&#8217;t afford a trip to Japan right now, <a href="http://dejiki.com/2013/09/tokyo-disneysea-tower-of-terror/">Dejiki&#8217;s Disney blog</a> is<strong> virtually the next best thing</strong>! This site offers beautiful photos and well-written English descriptions of Disney&#8217;s Tokyo attractions. Don&#8217;t miss Dejiki&#8217;s<a href="http://dejiki.com/2013/09/tokyo-disneysea-tower-of-terror/"> tour of the Tokyo DisneySea Tower of Terror</a> &#8211; mechanically, it&#8217;s the same as the other Towers, but the story and architecture are completely new!</p>
<h2>HiddenMickeys</h2>
<p>HiddenMickeys.org isn&#8217;t just Hidden Mickeys &#8211; it also offers <a href="http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/WDW/Studios/Secrets/TowerTerror.html">the most complete list of Tower theories and confirmed reports</a> on the web. If you love the mysteries of Disney, check it out!</p>
<h2>Physics At Disney</h2>
<p>A physicist brings an accelerometer onto the Tower of Terror and <a href="http://www.technology.niagarac.on.ca/people/mcsele/PhysicsAtDisney.html">graphs the ascents and descents</a>! Even non-physicists can enjoy this fascinating &#8220;inside&#8221; look at the Tower&#8217;s main feature.</p>
<h2>Disney&#8217;s Tower of Terror Movie</h2>
<p>A decades-old mystery centering on an abandoned hotel serves as the centerpiece for this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008L3SY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00008L3SY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=dropin-20">1997 Disney family film</a>. Many scenes were filmed at the Orlando Tower of Terror! If you&#8217;re a Tower enthusiast, this movie&#8217;s for you! <em>(Amazon affiliate link) </em></p>
<h2>StudiosCentral</h2>
<p>StudiosCentral.com is a <a href="http://www.studioscentral.com/">fan site dedicated to Disney&#8217;s Hollywood Studios</a> park in Orlando, with weekly updates on the park&#8217;s happenings.</p>
<h2>AllEars</h2>
<p><a href="http://allears.net">AllEars.net is a massive fan-run Disney site</a>, covering both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. They keep it up-to-date on things like changes and new attraction construction, so it&#8217;s almost like visiting the parks even when your next trip is months (or years <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f641.png" alt="🙁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> ) away.</p>
<h2>DisneyDrivenLife</h2>
<p>This self-proclaimed <a href="http://thedisneydrivenlife.com/" target="_blank">community for nuerotic Disney People</a> gets detailed &#8211; and personal. My favorite part of the site is <a href="http://thedisneydrivenlife.com/the-confessional/" target="_blank">the confessional</a>, where anonymous posters tell funny (and poignant) stories.</p>
<h2>RunningAtDisney</h2>
<p>Some folks like to take the fast track through Disney! This <a href="http://runningatdisney.com/">fan-run blog covers official runDisney events</a> that are held year-round in and around the Walt Disney World Resort area. These joggers see a side of Disney the rest of us usually miss, so even if you&#8217;re not into running, RunningAtDisney is another great way to explore Disney from your home!</p>
<h2>DisneyFans</h2>
<p>This might be the biggest archive of vintage Disney photos on the web. <a href="http://www.disneyfans.com/index.htm">DisneyFans hosts thousands of old (and new) photos</a> of the parks. My favorite thing to do here is explore how the parks looked circa 1993 and 1994 &#8211; these are the years of my first two childhood visits. It&#8217;s incredible how much things have changed!</p>
<h2>Buzzfeed&#8217;s 30 Things&#8230;</h2>
<p>Buzzfeed&#8217;s <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/awesomer/things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-disney-parks">33 Things You Probably Didn&#8217;t Know About Disney Parks</a> was full of surprises &#8211; even for a grizzled old Disney veteran like me! It&#8217;s a light, fun read. Enjoy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Back in the day, all four Tower of Terror attractions offered FastPass, Disney&#8217;s popular &#8220;virtual queuing&#8221; system that allowed guests to grab a pass and skip the long standby line by returning at a later time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The FastPass tickets looked something like this, depending on which park you get &#8217;em at:</p>
<p><div id="attachment_1150" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/hollywood_studios_fast_passes_tot.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1150" class="size-full wp-image-1150" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/hollywood_studios_fast_passes_tot.jpg" alt="hollywood_studios_fast_passes_tot" width="512" height="384" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/hollywood_studios_fast_passes_tot.jpg 512w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/11/hollywood_studios_fast_passes_tot-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1150" class="wp-caption-text">Disney souvenirs only a die-hard fan could love: Tower of Terror FastPasses printed on my birthday!</p></div></p>
<h1 style="text-align: left;">Wait, what is FastPass?</h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">The FastPass system was introduced in 1999 to help reduce line waits and some guests enjoyed the challenge of finding the most optimal use of the passes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Guests inserted their park ticket into an attraction&#8217;s FASTPASS machine to receive a pass granting access to the (usually much shorter) &#8220;FASTPASS line&#8221; during a 1-hour window later that same day. <a href="http://allears.net/dlr/tp/fastpass.htm">AllEars has the full scoop on Disney&#8217;s FastPass</a> system.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_1101" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/tot_fast_pass_sign.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1101" class="size-full wp-image-1101 " src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/tot_fast_pass_sign.jpg" alt="Tower of Terror Fast Pass return window" width="300" height="221" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-1101" class="wp-caption-text">Disney&#8217;s not kidding about that one-hour window anymore: late arrivals are no longer accepted into the FastPass line.</p></div></p>
<h1 style="text-align: left;">FastPass Strategies</h1>
<p><em>(These &#8216;strategies&#8217; are from a bygone era but I am keeping them here for the purpose of historical preservation. &#8211; M. Booley)</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Grab a FastPass for the most popular ride(s) early!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Despite its age (20 years in Florida, 10 years in California, and a bit younger elsewhere) the Tower is still a massively popular ride. Tower of Terror FastPasses run out by mid-day even on off-peak weekdays!  But standby lines are shortest in the morning, so if you want to get in a lot of Tower, get to the park early.  Grab your FastPass for an even more popular headliner (in DCA that&#8217;d likely be Cars Land, and in Hollywood Studios that would be Toy Story Midway Mania and/or Rockin&#8217; Roller Coaster) and hop onto the Tower a few times before it fills up.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Use FastPass for repeat rides</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Even if the standby line is short, consider grabbing a FastPass anyway &#8211; the line might be long by the time you&#8217;ve exited the ride, and your FastPass guarantees you&#8217;ll get to go again as soon as you&#8217;re in the time window.  Sometimes the opportunity for a new FastPass ticket will begin within 5 minutes of just having received a ticket!</p>

<h1 style="text-align: left;">Tower of Terror FASTPASS Locations</h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">All four Towers of Terror offer FastPass.  The tickets are dispensed from covered kiosks located near the Tower itself.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: left;">What About FastPass+?</h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">Disney is in the process of replacing the existing Fast Pass system with the new Fast Pass+ system.  The new system lets guests use computer kiosks to choose FastPass attractions and, to an extent, times (the computer chooses the times for you but you get a couple choices to pick from).  Unfortunately, as of my most recent visit to WDW in December 2013, guests are limited to just three FastPasses <strong>total</strong> per day.  And there&#8217;s no loading up all your FastPasses for one attraction to ride repeatedly.  And, sadly, there&#8217;s no more little tickets to hold onto &#8211; just a snapshot of your times taken with your camera or phone, assuming you brought it with you into the park.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There&#8217;s no hiding it &#8211; as a big FastPass ticket user, I am bummed about this change. But Disney is continuing to experiment with the system, so there&#8217;s hope that it will improve and maybe some of the aspects of the old ticket system will come back.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Either way, Disney is quickly gearing up to make MyMagic+ and FastPass+ the wave of the future, so enjoy the old FastPasses while you can!</p>
