Fastpass Question

[DLR29]

Coming from a person who knows a ton about DLR, if your FP time expires(at WDW) do the CMs refuse you?

Not always, it will depend on the CM and how their day is going. I have been late and still was allowed to enter for the ride, and the CM noticed the FP time had expired.

It is up to the discretion of the CM. I have never been refused entrance with an expired fastpass ever in all my trips to WDW. That doesn't mean the same happens all the time. I have heard recently though that alot of people have been turned away from Soarin' if they had an expired fast pass. Especially during peak seasons. I would try to make it back on time if possible so as not to chance it.

The "oldest" fastpass we used was 3 - 4 hours old.

We were there about two weeks ago, and did this several times. However, I wouldn't suggest it with a new ride, or something very popular during peak season.

With that said, we went through once where the cast member aske us jokingly "Well, where have you been, we were waiting for you?".

And a second time, I said "We're a little bit late!" to the CM as I was handing them the fastpass, and he replied "Not to worry. You can always be late. Never early, but late is fine."

We were at disney last week for the week and on our first day we realized that it didn't matter when you came back as long as it is after the first time on the ticket. Our fastpass time for Soarin (3rd ride) was like 115-215pm and we didn't use the fast pass until we returned for dinner. No one once looked at the times or appeared to have looked and questioned us..It didn't seem to be a problem but it's maybe different during peak times. We regularly used them after the time.

I have never been denied either. However, from seeing other posters remarks...do not try using one that is long expired (one day or more old)...they will not let you use it.
