9 Fast Passes in one day!

[TGM]

Hello everybody, I just got back from Walt Disney World a few hours ago, and would like to share what happened yesterday.

We got 9 fast passes in one day!

Here's the breakdown; the first three are the ones everybody gets. The second three were compensation from the Jungle Book show being rained out the previous day. Then, two more were added when we asked for one member of my family's fast passes to be moved to the other three. Then, later that day, a CM approached us outside of Spaceship Earth, and asked if we had done Test Track or Soarin'. We told her no, and she gave us another fast pass for anything in EPCOT (it was paper).

Is this a record?

Definitely not a record, although you get points for doing it in a very creative way!

My husband and I were at Mk on May 16 and used 21 FP. My sister and her family used 16 in one day in April, but they had four in their party so it was a bit harder.

I'm sure 21 isn't the record, either, though.

This is awesome to hear! I think there are going to be a lot of disappointed Epcot guests in the coming month once Frozen opens and Tier 1 rides are going to be tricky to get on in the same park day. Hoping more situations like yours happen to try to help people out.

It may possibly be!

Another poster reported his family had 20 FPs in one day but that was by using very creative loophole methods.

We used 9 on our last trip at MK. We had 2 extra bands with NBFPs. It was hard juggling all those.

We got "lucky" in that it started raining about 3:30 and rained for at least six hours. I think a lot of FP were cancelled when people decided to leave early or not come back. And I am that crazy person who is in on the app, getting my next FP, the second I finish scanning my MB. I found that if I kept at it, everything eventually popped up - even the Mine Train (which we didn't even need, as there was no one in the loading area when we got there).

Here is the list my husband kept:
Buzz 1
Big Thunder 2
Splash 3
Haunted Mansion 4
Magic Carpets 5
Pirates 6
Jungle Cruise 7
Haunted Mansion 8
Barnstormer 9
Speedway 10
Dumbo 11
Peter Pan 12
Small World 13
Mermaid 14
Belle 15
Tea Party 16
Space Mountain 17
Buzz 18
Monsters Laugh Floor 19
Mine Train 20
Peter Pan 21

We easily did 8-9 last year in MK with no loopholes, any time passes, extra bands, or paper FPs. Just kept adding them on as we used them. We'd see people waiting in line for, say, Small World. We'd walk across to the kiosk right there, load up a FP and jump in that line. Come out, load up another FP. Never a line at the kiosk either.

The perfect way to use the app for FPs!

Very impressed with your list and how you found FPs in close proximty to where you were.

This past Sunday, wife and I used 7 or 8 each. I had passes previously set for mid afternoon at MK but ended up cancelling them as we changed our plans and didn't figure to use them in the heat of the day. Started at Epcot using one for Spaceship Earth, booked two more for that evening between Thunder Mtn and Splash Mtn.

Splash closed late afternoon for mechanical issues, used the Thunder Mtn pass to discover we could use the SM at other rides, and it started to rain enough to close down most of the outside rides for a half hour, so people were scurrying. Went to Space Mtn to use the Splash FP and while in line, got the email about free passes due to Splash being closed (didn't know they'd compensate like that!). And earlier Splash FPs were opening up so I continued to book it and got another set of free passes for it still being closed. Anyway, had 2 set of freebies and stashed those as we continued to go one FP after another for rides. Ended the night finally riding Splash Mtn (though it broke on us for 10 minutes...).

Totally felt like I was cheating the system but didn't feel too bad as I heard others doing similar, and lines didn't appear to be too horribly long after the rain and becoming late. While the compensation FPs for Splash were great, the rain is what really benefited us as it wasn't much but seemed to clear out enough people and open up further FP options.

Oh, if we're counting those, then I don't think that I have a record. But, I meant fast passes that could be used for anything (magic fastpasses/normal fast passes)

21 is impressive!

We just left from an 8 day park hopper. We used 10 our first full day in the park. Another tip is for using those first three: once you use one, immediately see if you can move up you second and then third to fill in the time. Just continually update the app. FP show up for nearly everything throughout the day!

Our last day we had a combination of paper, multi-use FP, our 3 original FP, and using the app to total 13. We had a rainy day with lower crowds and we park hopped. We had a late start because of checkout and easily could have gotten more.

We think the system works well, for us.
