I do not have confirmation, but it appears that construction work has begun on installing Fastpass at the old small world exit.

Perhaps it's a Fast Pass to get off the ride sooner rather than ride the whole thing.
Good news: you can now waste a Fastpass on American Idol.

Could this be the location of the new FASTPASS entrance?:

Gah, not another ride that needs stuff doing to it?! Doesn't anything work properly at Disney anymore?

Perhaps they are installing Fastpass kiosks, not for small world, but for the brand new Rapunzel's Enchanted Bathrooms! With Nextgen, everything must be planned 180 days in advance of your trip, including when you tinkle.

I'm ok with this. The more people who fast pass this the better, then they won't be able to get a fast pass for those things more important to me. I'm perfectly happy to only do this ride once per trip, actually not at all but my kids always want to do it. If the stand by lines were longer then I would have an excuse for why they can't do it over and over and over.

Let's see... we can either fix a ride that has mold, decay and non-moving, broken parts that ruin its artistic integrity... or
WE CAN INSTALL FAST PASSES FOR NEXT GEN!!!
As an added bonus, you can design a digital iasw puppet on your iPhone during the ride so you don't pay any attention to the real puppets falling apart around you.

I'm ok with this, save the money for a better ride. But, I would think with the promotion of the new Fantasyland and the Press invitation in November that they would want to do a general spruce up of all the Fantasyland attractions before this. They did it in Disneyland before Cars Land was complete (Project Sparkle). This is TDO though so they probably won't.

Seriously!! The design your own doll while you are on the ride is the stupidest thing I ever heard of!! Im in Disney on a ride, the last thing I want to be doing is looking at my phone. What's the point of going on the ride if I'm going to be looking at my phone the whole time????

I am really thinking that this FastPass idea is to thin out FastPasses across all attractions. If it works the way I am assuming, it's basically tricking tourists. Disney is encouraging them to waste their FastPasses on attractions that don't need them. If under this system, tourists can only get one E ticket FastPass for an afternoon (which is what it appears it will do), it won't take long before people opt not to use this system, and just collect E-ticket FastPasses when they get there like they always have.

I agree. I also think you will see people get frustrated when they can't get a NextGen Fastpass for an E-Ticket (Space Mountain) at a peak time of day - say, 1 PM. But then they may say, "Hey, we could do Small World with a Fastpass instead"
Which then helps even out the crowds, and perhaps keep the E-Ticket wait times to something more manageable during the Peak Hours.

Maybe it's for a new scavenger hunt...ride all the FP rides and determine which is in the crappiest state of disrepair. They could do collectible cards sorta like the old 'Garbage Pail Kids'.

Instead of having a special entrance to get you on the ride faster, small world FP should have a special exit right before that room with "Goodbye" in all the different languages. That way, you can get off there without waiting an extra five minutes in the big logjam of boats with nothing much to look at.

Yes, this has been the foundation of the entire Fastpass+ plan. The only way it works is if they create a false demand for Fastpass on attractions that didn't need it previously.
