Fastpass Question

[ramarsh01]

For the past couple of months i have been reading that you can use an expired fastpass. For example if the time to return for the ride is 1PM -2PM you can still use the ticket anytime after 2PM. Now i read somewhere that Disney is enforcing the times on the ticket. Can anybody verify this?

thanks

When we went in May, a CM at Epcot was telling a group of people that you could use the fastpass after they expired. They didn't believe her, so she instructed them to go ask another CM.

We won't be going again until August, so I won't be able to help before then.

It is totally up to the 2 different CMs that check the ticket. The one at the front that lets you in the line and the one that takes the FP from you.

We just returned from the 2nd - 9th and used many expired FP with no problems at all.

I tried at Soarin' last trip and the CM told me no. I actually hadn't done it intentionally, but DS wasn't feeling great so I took him back to the hotel early for his nap and missed the window. It wasn't a huge deal to me (about the FP), so I told the CM that was OK and also told her the reason I was trying to use it. Then she asked if it was just me (and it was, because DH used his while I took DS back - we took turns taking him for his nap and getting some time to ourselves in the park) and then she said I could use it.

That is a long way of me saying that I think it definitely is possible that they're starting to "crack down" on it. We didn't try to use any other late ones, so I'm not sure. Personally, I wish they would decide one way or the other, publicize it, and stick to it!

We were there the first week of June and used expired fast passes with no problem. This was really helpful when we got them the first thing in the morning. Don't forget to check your fastpasses for the time you can get your next one as well - that way you can maximize your fastpass usage!

We were there early June and we used expired FP every day and had no problem. The CM at PhilharMagic told us to save the FP we had (no wait when we showed up) and if we wanted to use them later it would be fine that they would honor them as long as it was not before the time.
