A friend just got back from DL and said she was told by another guest they should have bought a fast pass plastic card.
She came back and asked me ansd I have no clue what she is talking about.
I know you can be dreamed with a FP for everyride, but buy one? :confused3
 
Maybe the guest meant those laynards that can hold your fastpasses and tickets? Other than that, you can't buy fastpasses so maybe the guest your friend spoke to saw dream fastpasses and mistakenly assumed you could buy them?
 
Based on the plastic description, I think the person mistakenly thinks that the dream fastpasses can be bought.
 

::yes:: Maybe the person was referring:idea: to the AAA ones you could buy w/tix a couple of years ago....are they still doing that?
 
sadly, no. That was the best thing ever! It's too bad they don't give Disney Travel Co that benefit, because everyone would use them.
 
She might be talking about dream FPs on e-bay.

People used to sell dream FPs on e-bay for souvenir purposes. Then the news recently came down from on high that the CMs have been instructed to accept dream fastpasses until the end of the year, even though they have expired. The FPs state that they are valid only for the day's date that you got them, and "officially" that's still the policy, but insiders over on MiceChat have recently said that now they are instructed to accept them. (but they have to be intact, that is, the CMs have to be the ones to snap the tabs off for each ride-- they wouldn't let you just use a tab without seeing the whole FP)

So ever since that news came down, the prices for those dream FPs on e-bay soared, and now they're not around. Which seems right to me-- doesn't seem quite cool to be buying and selling dreams on e-bay, you know? :confused3
 
Gail, if your right, that's insanity!! I mean even a VIP tour will get you standard fastpasses the old fashion way of waiting for your window, etc... I just looked over on ebay and saw some buy it nows for $8-10! It just seems wrong! Would like to learn more about the acuracy in this. It's so sad!
 
sam i reading this correctly?? if you have unused tabs on your dream FP's you casn still use them the rest of the year??? if so AWESOME. . . we won one day and never used them all . .
 
To go back to OP's original question. . .

I think maybe your friend was the victim of unscrupulous conning. . .

Yes, just did it yesterday, using them from last November!
 
Thank you everypne. I knew I wasn't smokin something, but figured maybe Disney came out with something new that I did not know about so I figured I would as you all.
 
Can I really use the one I won over a year ago when I go in August?
 
I've never even heard of these before, how did you guys win one? Can you really buy them on ebay for $8-10, that would be totally worth the price if it's for real.
 
According to several people around here and on Micechat, yes, you can use your unused ones that you won last year or last Feb. or whenever, to the end of the year. It's a recent management decision due to the fact that sometimes they hand them out on slow or rainy days when the dream FPs are really kind of worthless, because all the rides are practically walk-on. So they're supposed to accept them now, if the tabs are still attached to the body of the dream FP. Please don't quote me on this, I'm no expert. Just what I've read here and on MiceChat. :) But I see the PP above did have this experience! :thumbsup2

The only ones I saw on e-bay when I looked yesterday was a few with 6 days left and the current bid was something like $35 each. I did see an offer that was deceptive; it was a parkhopper with one day left on it and it said "with fastpass" -- the description said that "fastpass is included with admission" which is just a stupid sell on a regular ticket because FPs are availabe to ANYBODY with admission, of course, if you bother to go pick them up.

For the poster wondering what dream FPs are: Year of a Million Dreams; you know-- they send out CMs to hand out little prizes in random places throughout the parks. People call it "getting dreamed." There's a thread on the first or second page about this, asking people to tell how and what they were dreamed with. You might get special Mickey ears, a lanyard, a night in the Dream Suite (one family a day!) or-- a Dream FastPass. They are blue cards on a lanyard that have a tab for each FP ride on them, you get one for DL and one for CA. So basically you get one FP for each FP attraction in the park, to be used that day. They snap off the tabs at each attraction as you go in.

People have gone multiple times a month and never saw the dream team; other people have been dreamed multiple times on their trips. Often it's easiest to find the dream team early in the day, before 10 a.m. They often stand at the exits to rides handing them out to people who are just getting off a ride. Some people haunt the CM doors, watching for them to come out, and stalking them to see where they go.:rotfl:

HTH!

So many people have used old ones? Well that is a great idea to allow people to get the use out of them even if it is a different day/month/year.
 
HOLY MOLY! we can use them from last year and this year. . . WOWSER. . . thanks! this shall be fun when we go next time!
