fastpass for marathoner?

[tinkyrie]

Will I be able to obtain fastpasses for my marathoner while he's running? I thought it'd be nice to have a few to use later in the day after he's had time to recoop from the run.

You will need his admission ticket to get a fastpass. If you are holding this for him after he enters the park, then no problem. Not sure how this works for the marathon though (admission ticket that is).

you'd have to activate their pass at the entrance
for the fastpass machine to work

If he has not used it to enter the park that day-you will not be able to get fast passes with it.

So he will have to enter the park with his ticket before he can get a fast pass, and unfortunately he wouldn't be able to use it until after the marathon. Good luck to your marathoner!

YEah, I learned this the hard way last year. I thought I'd be savvy and go get fastpasses for my family, while they all waited for me at the dock to Fort Wilderness. I ran to get fp's for Sp. Mtn. To my chagrin ONLY mine worked!

Thanks for the info. This is his first marathon and we're all very excited for him! Wouldn't if be nice if all marathon finishers got dream fastpasses.... HINT, HINT!

You can still collect FPs for the marathoner-
You enter park with your ticket- let's say Epcot- go get a Soarin FP- then use your ticket again to get "his" Soarin FP at the next window.
You both then have FPs to use later in day.

But the return times will be hours apart.

What??

Simple.
OP enters Epcot at RD-gets a Soarin FP.
As soon as window opens- less than an hour probably, gets another Soarin FP.
Doesn't matter when return is- they are good til park closes.

OP and marathoner use FPs later in the day- at whatever time the 2nd Soarin FP opens or up til park closing.

Thanks for clarifying. I was confused when you said get another FP at the next window. I thought you meant the next FP kiosk... NOW I GET IT!! Great idea, thanks!
