FP Question

[zorilla10]

FP works with tickets, right? So does that mean that if there is 5 people in your family who each have a ticket, you can get 10 fastpasses at a time?

If there are 5 people each with a ticket that they used for entry into the park, you could get 5 FastPasses. Then, after the time stated on the FP, you could go and get 5 more, etc.

you are allowed one fastpass per person at a time and the fastpass you get will tell you at what time you can get another one.

That's a really cool thing.

Just make sure you get them quick because they can run out sometime during the day. Most people I hear from who arrive for rope drop send one person running with all the tickets to the FP booth to get passes for everyone. I'm way over due for a trip (it'll be 10 years come next summer) so I am planning for a July '07 trip with DM and DS. I've never come face to face with the FP kiosk but I've done so much research I feel like a pro and am hopefully prepared for my trip.

What do you hear everyone ELSE is doing while the runner is running?

Fast Passes are great! Especially if you use them right. For the more popular rides (that we may want to ride twice) we'll go there first (upon park opening) and get a FP and then ride it. This works really well for KS at AK, most of the time our FP time is up when we get off the first ride so we ride right away again (after getting another FP!)

If you are at a park (like MGM) with 2 FP rides located close together (like ToT and RnR) We'll get the FP for Tot, ride it, and before we ride again, we'll get our FP for RnR. Usually, the time has passed on our first FP that we can get our next one. (Hope I haven't confused anyone).

The more FP you can get early in the day, the better, since as others have said, they go early. The FP does state the time you can get another one on it. It is either the earliest time posted on your FP, or 2 hours later, whichever is soonest.

We used this strategy a couple weeks ago at DL, on a Sunday. We got there when it opened (contrary to what I've read, the park does not open the main gates early) It took about 30 min. to get into the park. (open at 8 a.m.) We went to Buzz, got a FP, rode it, went to SM, got a FP (the time frame was already up on the Buzz FP) rode it. Rode Astroblasters. Went and rode PoC (no FP) and then went back and rode Buzz. Had lunch, rode SM, etc.

We frequently used our FP past the time posted and it has never been a problem. As long as it past the first time posted, we've always been able to use it. So don't throw those early in the day FP away. Use 'em

Not to hijack this thread, but it made me think of something...

Do children under 3 who don't have tickets need FP's to ride with us for FP attractions? Realizing, of course, I'm questioning only those rides that she will make the height requirement.

There are 5 of us--me, DH, DS(13) DS (11) and DD (2)How does that work?

Thanks!

I wondered this too!

Apparently the adults get the FP's, and you just walk in the FP line with the under 3s and they'll be allowed on too.

The under 3 year olds can't get a FP because they have no ticket. When your family gets to the greeter to use your FPs tell the CM that the child is younger than 3 and they should let them ride.

Yea...your comrades may gingerly make their way in or head straight to another ride that you all want to ride. I have heard people say this many times and thought that it might make some people in line behind your party mad.....so lets say for instance I get to a park and run with all the tickets to the FP kisok and my DS and DM head to another attraction and get in line. Can i then run over to meet them in the line and join them because they are apart of my party or will everyone look at this as cutting even though they are my family?

We usually send the quickest person off to get the fast pass, and the slow ones walk over to a ride that we plan on doing standby, or that we already have fastpasses for. Our Epcot morning starts with me running over to Soarin to get FPs, while the guys walk over to TT. They wait for me outside TT, then we get in the standby line together. This works for us because we still have one in a stroller and one very slow walker, so I can travel to get the passes much faster without them.
