How does Fast Pass in Disneyland work? The video is a bit long. I have used something similar at another (not Disney) park and it allowed me to skip queues all the time, even on the same rides and there was no pre-booking requirement. I think it was by far the best experience in a theme park I have ever had. Not so much for the people without it of course, for them it made the queues longer.

They way it worked is you could only hold one at a time. You'd go to the ride (or pull up the app) and make your reservation, and they would give you a return time, usually an hour or so later, but sometimes many hours later. You'd show up at that time and skip some of the line. Then you could get another fastpass.
So you had to optimize your pass getting since you could only hold one at a time. You'd have to know which ones would fill up and get those first, and then get the less popular ones later in the day.

Right. Basically it put you in an invisible virtual line that you “stood waiting” in u til your assigned time. The benefit was while you were “waiting” you could go to the shops or a less popular ride or do something else.

This is not the current implementation.
Today you get 3 fastpasses, not one at time.
