Earning extra Fastpass+ by completing activities

[sjmac42]

Hi All,
I just heard on a Vlog today that by doing 2 of the maps of the 5 in the Pirates Adventure activity you get at the Crows Nest in Adventureland, you can earn a Fastpass+ for POTC. Does anyone know of any other activities around the parks that will earn you an extra Fastpass+?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
All the best.

There are no other activities that offer extra FP+

...and now... POTC is closed until....forever! (over-stated perhaps) so, that's moot.

Is there an estimated opening date? We are going the first week in June and PotC is on if our very favorites!!

Note it's not really worth it to do just for the FP, as it's pretty easy to get day-of, and even immediate FPs for POTC.

Can't you still get a fast pass for finding the paintbrush(s) on Tom Sawyer Island? Or was that only in the past?

I'm pretty sure they haven't done that in quite a while.

As of right now the TP refurb page says the outage is until March 19th

Well that’s an exaggeration and we’re not coming till September anyway.

In any case, I asked the question as we are there for 17 days so may have time to do some of these extras and if you can also earn a Fastpass+ so you can potentially hold 4 at once, why not.

Thanks for your reply DisneyWishes14, I appreciate your direct answer.

Thanks anyway but I think it may be worth it.
All the best

Correct.
Stopped the TSI "Find a Paintbrush/FP Reward" years ago.

Here's a look back-

(NO LONGER BEING OFFERED)

I think attending a DVC presentation gets you 3.

Test of some sort?

We have done the private scavenger hunt twice to get fast passes. We enjoy the special effects of the scavenger hunt alone but the FP is an added bonus. You receive a paper pass usually good for a week or so. It' great way to spend that late afternoon early afternoon while waiting for additional fps on MDE.

They stopped doing the paintbrush thing because guests were keeping them and taking them as souvenirs. It’s always a couple people who ruin things for everyone

There’s a thought, have done similar in Vegas and got a Dinner and show package, a buffet and some vouchers for a couple of hours of our time.

Thanks jcconn, that’s how I see it, something different from just doing a ride with an added bonus Fastpass+. This is my first WDW trip but I’ve been to other Disney Parks over the years and sometimes it’s good to get away from the lines and do something different.
All the best.

We love Pirates Adventure and would do it without any added incentive. It’s a blast. I do wonder though if you have to do it within a certain timeframe to the FP. We like to do it after dark and it seems like there’s no CM around.

Yes,it really had turned into a "mad rush" to be on the first boat of the day over to TSI when they discontinued it.

Hard to believe it has been over SIX years since it ended!

They had the little "Splash/Thunder certificate" they used and then they started giving paper Fastpasses(sometimes multiples) to BOTH Splash and Thunder and at times,they would give out the "No Strings Attached" certificates and would mark them valid for admission to ANY attraction at Magic Kingdom!

It was great fun before EVERYBODY discovered it-when we found a brush,we would always go over to the fence and take a picture "painting" it with the brush.

I did the Pirates adventure my last trip. I loved the interactive responses to my magic band at each location in Adventure land. I finished and got the FP. Next day I was with friends and tried the locations, they still reacted to my magic band.

Thanks everyone’s for the replies, much appreciated.
Hope you’re next Disney trip is not too far away.
All the best.
