GAD promo- Fastpass questions?

[jesters]

I already have multi day tickets, so I will opt for the special fastpass with my Volunteer certificate. It is supposed to be good for everyone in my party of 4.

Has anyone else done this? Is the fastpass good all day (we have park hoppers and wondering if we can use the fastpass at more than one park in the same day)?

Is this fastpass only for certain rides, or for all fastpass rides?

We leave in 2 weeks! Can't wait!

Thanks for any info!!!!

It's good all day in 1 park on any ride that accepts Fast Pass. I have read somewhere that they stop giving the Fast Pass at 11 AM each day. Not sure how reliable it is, but it is out there.

If you go to the subgroup at the top of this forum about Give a Day, you will see a lot of info.

The fastpasses are good for that day in 1 park. In each park, there is a list of rides you can ride. It's a little more complex than that, but it isn't an option for every fastpass ride.

1- It's good all day in 1 park on any ride that accepts Fast Pass.

2- I have read somewhere that they stop giving the Fast Pass at 11 AM each day. Not sure how reliable it is, but it is out there.

1- Close, but not exactly. See the info in the link below.

2- That's in the rules, but I've never ever heard any reports that they stopped giving them out after 11AM.

They may stop giving out GAD fast pass fetching cards at 11 in the morning, depending on how many were given out already.

But once you got one, you can use it any time during the day and even after the fast passes are "sold out" for everyone else for a given ride.

We used them last week. We picked them up between 11 and 12. One voucher is good for a card that gets you 6 FP for each memeber of your party. You can use those for an instant fast pass for the specific rides listed(form two subgroups) and you can also get regular fast passes too. They allowed us a very pleasant day with no hurrying and no waiting in line!

Hi PsychoDisney, when exchanging the voucher for FP's were all the members of your group at the will call window or can one person have all the park tickets and claim the FP's for their group. TY!

...can one person have all the park tickets and claim the FP's for their group.

All members must be present.

(Otherwise anyone could just SAY that there were "X number" in the party to get more FastPasses.)

 

[Psychodisney]

Like Robo said...everyone must be present...and you must have an ID for the person who is turning in the voucher(kids too).

From the Disney GAD FAQ page...

What do I need to bring to the theme park to redeem my voucher?

To redeem your ticket at a Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® theme park, you must bring a valid photo ID along with your voucher. Valid ID is one of the following: valid Government Issued Passport, valid Driver's License including a photo, or valid Government Issued Photo ID. For children under 18 who do not have any of the previous listed IDs, a copy of a Birth Certificate is acceptable. School IDs or children security IDs are not deemed Government Issued Photo IDs and will not be accepted. Please note: the Guest whose name is on the voucher must be present at the time of ticket redemption (for example, parents cannot redeem tickets for their children in their absence.)

What if I forget my child's proof of identification when I visit the theme park to redeem his or her voucher?

Unfortunately, a voucher cannot be redeemed without proof of identification for children or adults.

If I have a valid multi-day ticket or an Annual Pass or Passport, is there anything else that I can receive?

Guests who present a valid multi-day ticket or Annual Pass or Passport may choose from one of the following three options instead of receiving the free 1-day, 1-park ticket:

* Disney's FASTPASS® Special Exchange Cards for certain attractions for you and up to 5 additional members of your party. †
* A Special Ear Hat figurine with unique trading pins‡
* Donate your free ticket to one of the select non-profit organizations designated by Disney Parks:

o Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern California
o Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida
o Dreams Take Flight Canada
*Guests presenting complimentary ticket media are not eligible to receive the Exchange Card or Ear Hat figurine options.
†Present voucher at applicable Theme Park ticket booth for Exchange Card. Participating attractions are subject to change. Valid theme park admission required. The number of Exchange Cards is limited and may not be available after 11 a.m. All Guests in your party must be present to receive the Exchange Card.
‡ See voucher for redemption locations.

Valid ID and a valid Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® multi-day ticket, Seasonal Pass or Annual Pass or Passport along with the voucher will be required at the time of redemption for options. No cash refunds or credits will be provided to Passholders or multi-day ticket holders who participate in the "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day." program and choose not to redeem their voucher for a ticket or exchange it for one of the options.

Thank you so much for this information - It really helps us. We will be turning in our vouchers for the fast pass option, but there are 7 in our party. I'm sure we can work around it! : ) So excited! Thanks again!
