Give-A-Day ticket//fastpass question

[freepixie]

So sorry if this has been asked before...

Okay we are going to do the Give a Day thing! We want to do the fastpass option since we will already have multi-day tickets.

Okay - when we register online will we have to mark that we want them to be fastpasses instead of a park ticket, or do we tell them when we go to the will-call window?

Want to make sure I've got my ducks in a row before registering so I know what I'm doing

Thanks!!

You choose what you want to do when you turn in your voucher at the will call window. No need to decide now, or even that day - you can look at your options when you get there.

You don't get FPs, you get Fastpass Exchange Cards (up to 6), which is only good at that park on that day. That card can be used to get the Fastpasses at the kiosks.

And those FP's can only be used by the person on the voucher....correct? I'm trying to figure out which park we should use out FP's...I'm thinking MK or AK as my kids love the coasters there!

No, you get up to 6 cards, one for each member of your group (who ALL must be present when you turn in your voucher). Each person gets a card and can use them independently.

The person on the voucher must be present when redeeming the voucher, and must have positive ID.

That will be great as we are going in Nov. and are bringing my in-laws along for their VERY 1ST TRIP!!!! This can help save us time as they really want to see some of the shows where as my kids prefer to ride! (There will be 7 of us but my youngest is too young to ride many of the rides.)So if we FP rides more frequently we will have more time for more shows!

Are they limiting the number of vouchers they are giving out? Is it possible that they could "run out" of fastpass cards the day you are there?

These are two very different questions, although I'm not sure if that was what you intended...

A "voucher" is the certificate you get from Disney to confirm your service and means you are eligible for the free day/alternates.

You "turn in" that voucher to get the free 1-day ticket, or if eligible, the alternates such as the Fastpass Exchange Card.

Disney does say that it is possible to run out of the Fastpass Exchange Cards on a given day. To my knowledge that never happened during the Birthday promotion, but I believe that more people are eligible under the GAD program that it is conceivable for it to happen.

I understand completely that the person who turns in their voucher is eligible to receive the FP for themselves and up to 5 family members for a total of 6. We have 5 in our family so we are good. My question is, can we turn in TWO vouchers so we each get two FPs? I'm thinking they may come in handy during SWW and I don't see that they'll be that beneficial for AK. Thoughts?

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't think there is any restriction, but this didn't come up to frequently with the Birthday passes.

Maybe CF has more insight?

I knew it was an unusual situation so I appreciate your input. If we got 2 FPs each we'd actually be able to read TS, ToT and RnR two times each and not have to be there at rope drop. Just something I'm toying with as I don't see us needing them for each day of our trip as we are going prior to most schools even dismissing for the summer.

Doconeill - Thanks for helping all of us!

Can you choose the rides you use them for, or do you only get one for each FP ride in the park?

 

[doconeill]

Follow the link in my signature for the details, but you get to choose.

Following back up on this question - I heard back from Cheshire Figment, who spoke with several people on this, and the answers were mixed, but the opinion of the Guest Services Managers is that you CAN do this.

 

[teacher31]

Thanks. I didn't think that it would be a no, but just wanted to check. Hopefully this will take the sting out of going to DHS during SWW.

Is there anything to stop people from letting random people get fastpasses with them? In other words, if our "group" is just 2 people, could we have another family of 4 join us when we get the fastpasses?

Technically no. It is not unheard of to "adopt" additional guests. They just have to be willing to wait in line with you.

That's interesting. I'm not sure if it's cheating Disney or just an extension of the benevolent volunteer theme. You could absolutely make someone's day if you did this for them.
