At WDW Now - Used GAD Fastpass for Epcot & DHS

[doconeill]

No. Read the link I posted (which is also in my signature).

The card has "credits" on it. You have X Donald credits and X Daisy credits, with X commonly being 3. You have to keep track yourself - someone recommended using a Sharpie and marking the card as you used it.

When we used our GAD FPs at the beginning of Feb., we had 3 FP for each group. If you tried to get a Space Mtn pass a fourth time, a card came out that indicated it was not a valid fastpass, because you had exceeded the limit. [It was an honest oversight, really!] So, if you lose track, never fear: The Mouse will not.

But between GAD FP and regular ones, we did not wait in line a single time all day, rope drop to fireworks, on a crowd calendar 8 day ... It was a magical thing of beauty.

Yes to all, and yes you can ride the same attraction multiple times. 3 Donald credits at Epcot wouldn't be very useful with only two Donald attractions

You can use it to ride three times, indeed! That's what we did ...

Enjoy!

They are plastic and credit card sized, and you get to keep them.

It is kind of fun doing "Special GAD FP touring plans".

I have been working on this for weeks! I know I need help!

We are going to do RD each day, then go directly to fav e-ticket ride, get FP and Special FP, then try to get on through standby. Then use the GAD FP immediately for second ride. Then use FP later for a total of 3x for those key rides. We plan on using the special FP right away for each ride unless the standby is less than 10 mins.

This is going to make our trip so nice.... more free time for the pool!

This is pretty much our plan. we are excited to not have to wait in those lines in the June heat.

This is so cool!

Just wanted to confirm the cards don't have special tabs. Ours was a credit card sized plastic card for each person(with Donald on it). You will also receive a list of the rides available at the specific park. We were also told if you don't want to ride the Donald rides, you can do 6 Daisy rides. Insert it into the FP machine, out comes a FP with an immediate ride time. I'll post a picture later today.

Now that's new...anyone tried this?

Ours did not work that way - as I mentioned before, the fastpass machine printed out a pass that indicated we had exceeded our Donalds, when the GAD FP was inserted for the 4th time ...

Different rules on different days, maybe?

Ah, but Psychodisney says you can use a Donald credit at a Daisy (I assume after you've used up all your Daisy credits). I don't know too many people willing to give up a Donald credit though...

 

[LWdisney]

Ah, sorry! Now I'm on track. That level of detail was NOT included in the explanation we received, FWIW.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think it is a 3 time max and any one ride - regardless of Donald or Daisy.

okay... so the 5 of us in my family could get the GAD fastpasses for each of us for 6 rides in each park?? that sounds too good to be true... then again it is disney world... clarifications would be greatly appreciated lol

In essence, yes. All 5 of you will get a card, good for (likely - numbers are flexible) 6 total instant FPs each allowing you to bypass the standby line. Half of them can be used at "Donald" attractions (the most popular) and the other half for "Daisy" attractions (the rest of the FP attractions).

More details at the link in my signature.

That sounds awesome!! So if we went too say HS one day, we could all get FPs for 3 donald rides and 3 daisy rides? could we do this for all the parks once on our trip?

You can do this as many times as you want if you have the GAD vouchers for it, and each person who has a GAD voucher MUST have a valid multi-day ticket when they redeem their voucher.

Each GAD voucher is good only ONCE.

when you say each GAD voucher is good only once does this mean only one trip? or once for each park?
