Guests arriving between June 3 and September 5, 2011 will receive two special FASTPASS tickets per guest.  Each of the FASTPASS tickets will allow guests immediate entrance via the FASTPASS queue at any attraction at Disneyland or Disney California Adventure.  The tickets are also valid for access to Ariel's Undersea Adventure during a special limited-time FASTPASS return queue. 

This perk is available to all hotel guests and Disney Vacation Club members staying on points at the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, the Disneyland Hotel or Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel.

For each hotel guest, that's a lot of fast passes!

I guess we'll find out how giving out FPs as perk will affect the FP queue. Hopefully somebody that is traveling there soon, will let us know how it works. ;)

It's only two per person, per trip. We have a 6N/7D trip coming up and should get 18 total FPs for our entire group.

With the Disneyland Hotel undergoing refurb, I believe there are less than 2000 eligible rooms. We can only guess at the average room occupancy and length of stay. My guess is it would probably add about 1500 guests per day to the FP queues. Not too bad spread over a dozen or so eligible FP attractions.

I wonder if Disney will issue separate FastPass Cards --like the ones DVD hands out when you take a tour -- or whether the FastPasses will be hard coded into your room keys.

Sure wish Disney would expand this offer to include WDW. We will be at WDW from June 7th to 17th. Why do I suspect Disney will roll out the WDW FastPasses beginning June 18th???

I hope they decide to make that an ongoing gift. It used to mean something special when only disneyland hotel guests had early admission - back when they only had the one hotel. Now, I think all their good neighbor hotels offer it. I haven't been to it in years because the lines are so long to get in.

Fastpasses for paying to stay in the Hotels is reasonable to me.
