What do you have to do to get a fastpass?

in the park I’ve seen plenty of people using the fastpass lines, and while occasionally it’s someone in a Wheelchair and their family, much more often it’s large groups with no ECV or wheelchair among them. How did they manage that?

Someone in the family probably has DAS (Disability Access Service) which is given for "hidden" disabilities that prevent guests from waiting in long lines (e.g. Developmental disorder, severe claustrophobia, chronic digestive disease, etc.) Guests with ECVs or wheelchairs will usually go through the regular queues. The only exceptions are rides like BTMRR where the regular queue is too small to accommodate them. & in both cases, there's a comeback time equal to the current wait.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in, but I would guess that 1. not all disabilities are visible (also sometimes people can walk through a line but can't actually stand for long periods) and 2. VIP tours are apparently sold out.

Fastpass is not currently available.
If you are seeing people in the Fastpass line its because they have DAS.
What you have to do to get it? Have a disability that would make it difficult to stand in the regular line.

All you have to do is claim you have a disability to make it difficult to stand in the regular line.

A few things I've noticed:

The FastPass line in some attractions (Soarin' for example) is used as an extra standby line.
VIP Tour guides (cast members wearing white shirts) use FastPass lines with their groups.
FastPass (or something similar) is still used as compensation by cast members in the event a ride is evacuated or a guest has an unpleasant experience.

Since Disney transitioned from GAC to DAS and from paper to digital there's not that much more of an advantage so no people don't "claim" they are disabled. I also take offense considering I am disabled and I have never gotten GAC or DAS myself as I don't see too much of an advantage for my disability. I can just ask a CM to sit closer etc and its never been an issue.

It's not always the advantage some thinks it is. You get a return time, it's not a fp. Sometimes the wait is slightly longer than had the person waited on the line. Why would anybody want to loose time out of their trip

It is by definition a Fastpass. You get a return time, like a Fastpass, and can do whatever you'd like until your return time, without having to wait in line like everyone else. You then use the Fastpass line to ride the attraction.

Your posts make you sound jealous of those with disabilities.
Trust me you should be so lucky to wait in the regular line vs being disabled.
Have respect.
