First off, there are two networks: one for Disneyland Park and the second for Disney's California Adventure. They are totally separate, so you can always get one at least one Fastpass for each park. Let's look at the Fastpass attractions in each park:

Disneyland

* Autopia
* Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
* Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
* Haunted Mansion Holiday
* Indiana Jones Adventure
* Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin
* Space Mountain
* Splash Mountain

Disney's California Adventure

* California Screamin'
* Grizzly River Run
* Mulholland Madness
* Soarin' Over California
* Tower of Terror

Now, what is not so commonly known is that not every Fastpass attraction in a park is actually connected to the larger Fastpass network for that park. Currently the two regular (and one seasonal) Fastpass machines that operate on a standalone basis are:

* Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin (DL)
* Haunted Mansion Holiday (DL)
* Grizzly River Run (DCA)

Finally, there are a few Fastpass attractions that offer Fastpasses year-round, but only on weekends, and weekdays during peak and holiday periods. The following attractions do not offer Fastpass during the week:

* Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
* Mulholland Madness
* Grizzly River Run

The strategy for the standalone Fastpass attractions

The independent machines are nice and simple. Each of the attractions has its own machine operating all by itself, and you can get one Fastpass for each of these rides without affecting any other Fastpasses you might want.

Note: All times are an example, and should not be a reflection of the time you really get on your Fastpass.

The trick with the stand-alone machines is to treat them as the "enhanced Fastpass" users treat all the attractions. Always get a new Fastpass for an attraction prior to riding it. For example, it is 11:15 a.m. and you can now ride Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. Before entering the Fastpass line to ride, pick up another Fastpass (the window is now open), and you will be given a new Roger Rabbit Fastpass for 2:10 p.mm to 3:10 p.m., this will allow you to come back later, after 2:10 p.m. for a second ride on Roger Rabbit, and before doing so you should get a third Fastpass for later in the day.

Keep in mind that the ending time on a Fastpass is not important. The cast members check only the start time and the date, but have been told to be very flexible on the ending time.

So what can I have, before I've even used one of the "networked" machines? Well, I can have a Haunted Mansion Holiday, a Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, and a Grizzly River Run. And if you remember to pick up a new Fastpass before using one, you'll always have an current Fastpass for these attractions.
The best strategy for the "networked" machines

You can have, in most cases, one Disneyland and one DCA networked Fastpass in addition to the above standalone Fastpasses. Once you get one networked Fastpass, you are not allowed another "networked" Fastpass within the same park (either DL or DCA) until one of these two events happens:

* It is later than the beginning time window listed on the Fastpass; or
* Two hours have passed since receiving the Fastpass

Examples

It is early in the day, and you go to get a Splash Mountain Fastpass at 9:15 a.m., the Fastpass issued to you is valid from 10:20 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. In this case, you could get your next "networked" Fastpass in Disneyland at 10:20 a.m., and that would be the time printed on the bottom of the Fastpass

But let's say it is a bit later, around 10:30 a.m., when you get a Splash Mountain Fastpass and it is instead good between 2:40 p.m. and 3:40 p.m. In this case, the next networked Disneyland Fastpass would be available to you at 12:30 p.m., two hours after the Fastpass was issued. There is one additional rule in that you would not be allowed to get another Splash Mountain Fastpass, until the window opens at 2:40 pm. At 12:30 you could get a Fastpass for Autopia, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Indiana Jones Adventure, etc.

One of the most important tricks to maximize your "networked" Fastpass usage is to get a new networked Fastpass prior to using the one you already have. Let's say that you have an Indiana Jones Adventure Fastpass that will become good at 12:35 p.m. At 12:35, I would get a Splash Fastpass (let's say it is good for 2:50 p.m. to 3:50 p.m.) and then go back to ride Indiana Jones Adventure. Then at 2:35 pm (don't forget the two-hour rule), I might pick up a Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Fastpass, before riding Splash Mountain. Continue this throughout the day.

So, at any given time a regular Fastpass user can theoretically possess one Fastpass for each of the stand-alone Fastpass attractions plus one or two of the networked attractions in each park (depending on return times in relation to the two-hour rule).

Another thing to think about to maximize the number of rides you get into a day are the Single Rider Passes available on Splash Mountain, Grizzly River Run, Soarin' Over California, California Screamin', Mulholland Madness, and Maliboomer. With the exception of Soarin' Over California, use of single-rider lines is generally faster than Fastpass, so if you are willing to use them this will free up the list of attraction for which you will want Fastpasses.
The best strategy for using a regular Fastpass

Rather than thinking of Fastpass as two systems (Disneyland and DCA) think of it as five systems (Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, Grizzy River Run, Haunted Mansion Holiday, the Disneyland networked system, and the DCA networked system) and that you can have one or two from each sytem at any given time. Never use a Fastpass for one of the five systems before getting a new Fastpass from that system.
