How many Legacy FastPasses did you *really* use on an average day?

[disnut1149]

Our average is about 6 to 7. Only getting 3 now, will be a big step backwards for us.

 

[kmb584]

We ranged anywhere from 3-6 on any given day with the higher number reflective of days we hopped.

 

[lovin'fl]

We used 0-2 paper fast passes each day. We would go to a park early and get a lot done and maybe pulled a FP or 2 to do in the later morning to early afternoon (when park started to get busy). We'd go to a second park in the evening (usually Epcot or MK) and rarely would pull any FP then. We can still do this same plan with FP+...or at least we could in Dec. Just used FP+ for early afternoon rides (instead of paper FP).

 

[Dacky619]

We would pull 4-6 every day, but we'd use maybe 2 or less. We would usually give away more than we used.


Our current complaint has been voiced many times over though with how now we can't get 2 TSMM passes or TT and Soarin.

 

[bigbabyblues]

Probably 6 or 7. I know one day last June, we rode BTMRR four times with FP (with the time enforced), Splash once with FP, DH & DS rode Space but I don't remember if they used FP, and we used one for Peter Pan.

At DHS, we did TSMM twice with FP, ToT once and RnR once. We never used FP for any shows at DHS.

We didn't use as many at AK, usually one for the Safari and one set (sometimes two) for Everest.

At Epcot, we did Test Track twice with FP and Soarin' twice with FP. We didn't usually use any others at Epcot.

 

[rluey29]

We used around 5-7 per day depending on time of year and crowd level and how long we were in the parks that day.

Magic kingdom we always used FP for the 3 mountains, PP, sometimes Buzz, Jungle Cruise, and Pooh.

AK we only used 4-5.

Epcot we used 4-5.

HS we used 5 as well.

Really also

 

[Disneylover99]

9 or more for sure at Mk. We tend to go early and stay late.

4 at Epcot. We never go to Epcot early.

6 at HS

6 at AK


Many of our FP's were for multiple rides at the same attraction.

 

[brockash]

I'd say we used 7 on average, but there were plenty of days that we used more than that.

 

[scholastica]

3-5 so I voted 3. But then I hate to back track around the park. I think a decent touring plan and getting there early or staying late helps. The only time I really used more than 3 was during EMH's and they weren't really that helpful since most rides were a walk on.

 

[WILDERNESS FAN 55]

About 4-5 on average. I will never believe people who say 8-9-10 with mostly a 2 hr window until you use next one this makes no sense unless you go off season when you don't really need at most rides.

About 4-5 on average. I will never believe people who say 8-9-10 with mostly a 2 hr window until you use next one this makes no sense unless you go off season when you don't really need at most rides.

What's not to get? Several rides were disconnected at the MK. And you don't have to wait 2 hours, just until the window on your current FP opens. If you start early, you can get a fair number before they get to the 2 hour delay.

Actually once FP time enforcement started, I believe they started experimenting with how many FPs they issued in a day, so they would know how many they could run through the system once FP+ got under way. And the more FPs they put into the system, the less lag until your return time. I pulled 6 FPs in the MK the one day we were there last June, and we didn't get to the park until 2:30. On our December 2012 trip I was shocked at how soon the return times were compared to recent years. That translated to more FPs because you could get a new one as soon as the window opened on the old one.

8-10 really didn't even require a lot of extra effort in the MK.

 

[kathy884]

I use the unofficial guide adult highlights touring plans for park visits, and always do rope drop. Usually the plans only would have me getting two fastpasses per park visit. And if we finished things up early, DS would maybe get one additional one to do Space Mountain or Tower of Terror again. I really and truly think that it's very rare that we go over three.

In October we did one day at the MK on a party day, and my touring plan didn't have me get any fastpasses. Lines were short, and that's probably why.

My average I think is two.

 

[disneydad1]

We would use a runner and use 10 or more a day at MK. spent all day in parks and were never without one. Can only travel at peak times bc of jobs. We do rope drop and recommended parks. Being limited to 3 a day dramatically impacts how we tour and will result in a lesser experience for us. Now I question the value. Disappointing.

 

[AliceandAriel]

2 if I was really on it. I didn't know about legacy FP my first trip, second trip I used two for Space Mountain for giggles (there was maybe a 5 minute wait), third trip I used two again for one of the mermaid rides and TSMM.

FP machines are not used (or needed) during a hard ticket party. You would only be able to pull one between 4 and 6 I believe (so the return time would be in advance of the 7 PM closing).

 

[teffy]

I put 0 because when I went the week of Labor Day in 2012 we never had wait times that were more than 20 minutes. A think we got a fast pass once during our entire week there just because the wait for Space Mountain was 25 minutes and we were spoiled so we didn't want to wait that long. I am going back at the same time this year and I am really interested to see how the crowds are and if we will use any more fastpasses with FP+.

 

[wen8jr]

I voted 5. I agree it depends on the time of your visit. During a holiday season trip we pulled at least 7-8. Other times, 5 was about our average.

 

[tlh]

We probably pull 8-10 when park hopping, but sometimes we don't use them and find someone with kids to give them to so they can use them. Never waste them.

 

[PoohsFan1]

Like the PP, I voted 5 because it would usually be somewhere between 4 and 6. We'd almost always have at least one FP "in queue". In other words, always an active FP for something. Sometimes a couple, if one was really late and the waiting time for the next had opened up. Basically, even if there weren't huge lines, we get a FP, ride stand-by, then come out and ride again FP. I'm thinking of rides like Spalsh, BTMRR, Kali, ToT, Toy Story, Test Track, etc. Some of these rides, my kids would go on over and over, so we'd pull FP, ride stand by, ride FP, pull FP, ride FP, etc., etc. So we would easily use 5 or 6 in the course of a day.

This is what we did too therefore I voted for 6, but it could very well of been 5. I am going to really miss the days were we would grab a FP for the bigger attractions and then ride stand by, then once we were off, jump into the FP line to ride again. My kids love to ride some of the bigger rides over and over again, DH would pull FPs with each of our tickets and after they would use up their FPs, we would hand them ours as we sat and waited (if we didn't feel like riding) for them to get off.

 

[Ariel on Land]

depends on the park. MK- at least 5, definitely more on some days. We like Pooh, would try to do it at least twice a day. Epcot, at least 3 - TT, Soarin and Maelstrom, and we would try to do TT or Soarin twice if we could. DHS- 3-4. We have been able to do TSM 3 times by getting FP first thing, then riding standby, then getting a FP afterwards to ride later in the day. THen a FP for RnR and ToT.

So I guess 3 would be our min, but as you can see, we'd ride the same ride multiple times on FPs, and these tiers are seriously cramping our style as well. And three is nowhere near enough for MK!!!!
