As a replacement of sorts for the ticketing system, Disney introduced the FASTPASS® for some of the rides. Generally, the FASTPASS® is used on the most popular rides. Rumors often circulate to suggest that Disneyland is planning to stop using this system in favor of VIP tickets, outraging some fans.

　　From 19972004, the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida offered an experience called E­ride Nights. This popular, although costly, extra allowed ticket­holding visitors to stay in the park three hours after closing and ride some of the most popular attractions.

　　Today, although the tickets no longer officially exist, Disney fans still classify rides by their ticket status. In the 2007 announcement of expansions to the California Adventure Park, at least two new E­ticket attractions were announced, the Little Mermaid ride and a test­track racing ride based on the Pixar movie Cars. Recent criticisms of the re­opened Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage suggest that some fans think the ride has

　　been downgraded to a D­ticket from its former glory.

　　In popular culture, the phrase has been used to refer to an extraordinary experience. American astronaut Sally Ride famously referred to riding the space shuttle as an E­ticket experience. The phrase has appeared in several movies. Fans of the Disney parks have also produced a ride­based fan magazine called The “E”Ticket since 1986. Although the term no longer applies to the Disney method of ride admission, it is still consistently popular as a popular phrase.
