25 days to go and a few ???'s

[bama-mom]

We leave for WDW in a few weeks and have GAD vouchers for me, dh, and dd (7), we also have ds (4) who will not have a voucher. We already have park tickets.
My ???'s are about the GAD FP's.

Can we only obtain the GAD Fp's at will call? And if so, what time do the will call windows usually open at each park?

If I read correctly, we can use one GAD FP "card" for the 4 of us even if ds was without a voucher??

And at each park we will get to pick 3 Donald and 3 Daisy rides to fastpass? And this list may change from time to time and we will be given a correct list at time of exchanging our vouchers.

Also wondering about passing our FP's on if we end up not needing them, can we do that?

Sorry so many questions. Up until last week, I had forgotten all about the FP option and just planned on adding an extra day to our tickets. Now I think the FP option will be the better way to go for us.

Thanks for any help you can give!!!!

Can we only obtain the GAD Fp's at will call? And if so, what time do the will call windows usually open at each park? Yes, or at Guest Relations if Will Call is not open. Will Call opens 30 minutes before any guests are allowed into the park, including EMHs and breakfast ADRs. Will Call opens at 7:30 for a 9:00 park opening.

If I read correctly, we can use one GAD FP "card" for the 4 of us even if ds was without a voucher?? For each voucher redeemed, you will get a FP exchange card for everyone in your party who has a valid ticket, up to six people. Each FP card has six credits on it. You can distribute those credits however you like within your group. Your DS will receive a card since he is old enough to need a ticket.

And at each park we will get to pick 3 Donald and 3 Daisy rides to fastpass? And this list may change from time to time and we will be given a correct list at time of exchanging our vouchers. Yes. The list is pretty consistent, but it does change sometimes when attractions are being refurbed.

Also wondering about passing our FP's on if we end up not needing them, can we do that? Yes, we gave a family four FPs to Test Track when the wait was 110 minutes. They were speechless.

Answers in red. The FP exchange cards are great! Enjoy your trip!

Thank you so much for the quick response!

So actually we could use dh's voucher for FP's one day @ one park, then mine the next day at another park, then dd's the next day at the next park? And the FP window is immediate, not hours later like regular FP's, right?

Also, I dug out my vouchers and they do NOT mention anything about the FP option on them, just the 1 day thing or part of an upgrade. (But I also cannot remember if I had to choose which thing we wanted at the time of printing the vouchers).

Yes, you only need to use one voucher per day to get FP cards for everyone in your family. Each FP card is valid for up to six rides and can only be used on the date redeemed at the park redeemed. FPs are valid immediately when you insert a FP card into the machine, and you can get FPs even after the regular FPs are gone (I caused quite a stir when I got 8 Toy Story Mania FPs after they were gone for the day).

Everything you need to know about the FP exchange cards can be found here.

The second paragraph below the blue line on the voucher states:

Instructions for Annual Passholders and multi-day ticket holders . . . that paragraph references the FP cards, but the link I gave you gives you a lot more info.
