Is there an upgrade you can buy for your disney and universal tickets that gives unlimited fast pass. As in not one ride at a time?

Hello,
Unfortunately,no.The only unlimited front of the line access(Express) is available at Universal if you stay in one of their onsite hotels,Portofino Bay, Hard Rock,or Royal Pacific. We've stayed at the Royal Pacific twice. It's the least expensive but also the newest.The main reason we stay is because of Express.You can ride as many times as you want to with wait times of,at most, 10 minutes and your room key serves as your ticket.I wish Disneyworld had this option.

There is way you can use your Disney fastpass:
Usually you enter your park ticket in the fastpass machine and you will recieve a ticket with a one hour slot, i.e 11.15-12.15.
You can not get another ticket from a fastpass machine until you use this ticket, but.....
If you go to another fastpass ride just after 11.15 before using your first ticket you can get another fastpass for the next ride and head back to the original ride and use your first fastpass ticket.
It is a lot of walking to and fro but it will save you loads of time in line on busy days. Only one person needs to get the fastpasses as long as they have all the park tickets with them.
You can upgrade your Universal ticket.
You can buy an Express Plus ticket/booklet which gives you FOTL access to every Express ride - but just once.
It costs between $15 and $30 depending on season and they have a limited number each day. Pricey, but worth it IMHO if you have less time and the crowds are heavy. You can use the ordinary express at the same time so if you are organized you can do everything at least twice. Check the crowds first before buying as some days you really don't need them.

Hi Mark
Great advice
How do you go srtraight onto the rides? Do they have more than one line?
can you go on any rides more than once?
Do you have to wait to process the fast pass tickets?

Yes two queues, one standby one "fast". These two queues often join at some point, so the "fast" queue allows you to jump sections of the queue.
Once per pass. But you can always get another pass after.
You can only use them in the specified time window.
Some rides are better than others when going "fast". I always found dueling dragons at IOA to be one of the worst for this, you join the standby queue far too soon. Also you cannot get on the front of Hulk using the fast queue.
