Fast Pass - Did I read right?

[shalinao]

We have an impromptu trip to Disney planned for the end of July, we usually go in May or September. (it's a special trip for my kids and nephew) Anyway, I read somewhere that someone got fast passes to more than one ride at a time in Fantasyland. Does anyone know if this is true? I always thought that you could only get a fast pass for one ride at a time and not another until you rode that ride. I'm trying to get our schedule together and want to see if this is true or not. Thanks!

Well we had 2 at a time only because one family couldnt use theres and they gave them to my family, but they wernt for the same time or same ride, We had them for Buzz (My fam got these) and another family gave us to for Big Thunder Mountain. But techinacly we could have done that, we had a family of 4 and two fastpasses for each ride.

You get the next one after the window opens or 2 hours, whichever comes first, the time will be on the FP. You do not have to use your first one before getting the second one. Think of the many possibilities within the above conditions and you'll see it's possible to have more than one set at a time.

However, it sounds like the original ? is can you get one, then get another right away. Except for LMA, no you can't. In April, at Epcot, they did an experiment allowing people to get as many as wanted right away, although you couldn't get 2 for the same attraction at once. That experiment is over, and any changes that come as a result are likely a few months away, at a minimum.

It still pays to get lots of FP in the morning because if there is no wait on say Splash Mountain at 9:10am, your time to come back would be say 9:25 - 10:25am so really you could hold onto it and then try and get another one in only 15min. That one for say, Jungle Cruise may tell you to come back at 10am so that is only another half hour wait. Keep in mind that CM's let you go in AFTER the designated 1 hr too. I always get my FP for Splash Mountain and head back (when its hot) mid day because the longer in the day you wait to get a FP, the more likelyhood that time is going to be far away and hence, you would have to wait 2hrs to get another FP. One time we went to Test Track at 11:10am and the FP return time was 3:45pm

Another tip with FP is to get them for rides you would enjoy later like SM (when it is hot) or for rides with long walking paths to the ride or even just long rides (say Philarmagic, SpaceM or SplashM compared to say, Peter Pan, Buzz etc..) Since you can hop on a lot of the latter these rides quickly in the early AM or even when Wishes/parade is going on. I always do Fantasyland either first thing in the AM since you can bang them out quickly or during the late eve when people are staking out spots for parades and such. I use my FP's on the longer rides mid day.
