if you have a season pass this year, you just buy the pass online, wait for your certificate in the mail, then print out a renewal form, and mail in the certificate that you received in the mail and the renewal form that you printed out, then in a couple weeks you get your new season pass in the mail with last years picture. So you never have to wait in line. I do it every year.
