Fastpass

[pippi]

OK I'm very sorry b/c I know there is thread around here on this somewhere. But I'm REALLY CONFUSED NOW. I thought you use Fastpass when you want to go on a ride or something and the lines are long. You get a Fastpass and do other things in the meantime. But I read somewhere about collecting Fastpasses. What does that mean? I thought you can only get one fastpass at a time? please explain, somebody

There is no limit to how many FPs you can have. The limit is often you can get them. But even this limit has loopholes.

Rather than try to explain it all here, these two threads explain how FP works and how to maximize FP:

If you get a fastpass as soon as the park opens, your window to get another fastpass could open within and hour. That means you could be holding two fastpasses at one time. The fastpass will tell you when you are allowed to get another one. We've held as many as three at one time by lunchtime. Also, you fastpass will say you can use it between time x and time o. If you miss that time, most cms will still let you on. So you could hold even more if you find the crowds are low immediately and just bank the fps for later in the day

Thank you for the website link. I actually read it and I think I got it but we'll have to see if it remains in my head between now and the end of April. Is it easy to do all this with 4 kids ages 8-2? Also, does DL and DCA have the switch parent thing (I forgot what it's called). Do you know how that works, we've never had to do that before?
