Best way to get 22 FPs- other group tips?

[cressy]

I was thinking I'd get all the FPs while the rest got in line, but what about that poor person wating in the FP line behind me? It seems to make the most sense to me if either 1 person gets them all, or everyone gets their own. Some of those FP areas are so hectic in the mornings,though.
We're not crazy enough to think we can stay together as a group all day, but I thought it would be fun to do the big draws together first thing in the am.
Any other good tips for group visits?(We're not doing any of the grand gatherings-just too much $$ for everyone)It'll be a first-and likely only-trip for 2 of the families.

Your party will not be able to get into the FP line unless they already are holding a FP... so that isn't really an option. UNLESS they all go on a different ride (or use the regular stand-by line for a first time through), while you collect the FPs for the major attraction that you all wish to go on together.

...but what about that poor person waiting in the FP line behind me?

There are quite a few FP machines for each attraction, not just one. No one would necessarily have to wait in line behind you--they can simply go to one of the other machines/lines.

I am not aware of any way to obtain 22 Fast Passes for your party, without running each person's card through the machines. Your best option really may be for several adults to each get in line and secure FPs for a portion of the group--say four adults each holding enough cards so as to acquire c. five or six FPs per. That would go much more quickly.

We'll try both and see what works best.
Thanks

I'd suggest two people doing 11 each. Once you've got a machine, it really goes quickly. Hint: Use one of those little plastic credit card holders to hold the tickets on one side and the fastpasses on the other. Run all the tickets through before removing the fastpasses instead of taking them one at a time.
