GAD redemption question.

[Cmbar]

A friend who is going to Disney in a few days said that he read that we had to make some kind of choice already about what we are going to do with our GAD vouchers. He said we needed two week redemtion time. What the heck is he talking about?

Our situation.... Four of us volunteered. I have already printed a voucher for each of us. It is just a printout of the voucher that says each name in big bold letters and it states clearly how to "redeem this voucher"

We are AP holders so we are going for the GAD Fastpasses. On the day we want to use GAD fastpasses, I simply need to bring ONE voucher, say Mine, have my AP, my Driver's license and all our tickets (3 additional AP passes for Dh and my kids and then we have 3 young adults with MYW tickets). I know we are only entitled to 6 FP cards for each voucher but we are hoping they will give us 7 since we have a party of seven, if not we will have to make do!

Just making sure I have this right. I have no idea what he was talking about and now I am panicking that something has changed since I printed my vouchers a few months ago. Thanks so much!

Oh and for my kid's voucher I can use either their passports or a copy of the birth certificate. right?

When you volunteered, Disney stated it could take up to two weeks to receive your voucher once your organization verified your service. If you have already printed your vouchers, you are good to go.

To redeem, it is as you posted - bring one voucher along with the ID for the person whose voucher it is, a multi-day ticket or AP for the voucher holder, and valid admission for everyone else. Many people have gotten 7 FP cards as long as everyone was there with their tickets, but at least one was denied more than six FP cards.

For children, you can use a passport or other government issued ID, or you can use the birth certificate or a copy of it (doesn't have to be a certified copy).

You have the process exactly right. It was very easy to redeem the vouchers. We just got back yesterday and used GAD FastPasses three different days. They were GREAT! I don't know what it's going to be like next time we go to Disney and don't have the special FastPasses. They are like plastic gold. My husband wanted to sell them in front of TSM!

Thank you both! I feel better now. Looking forward to those fastpasses to keep us out of the heat and keep out frustration low!
