How much of a pain is this??

TGM says this about Fast Passes: "Only one 'waiting' FASTPASS per guest can be issued at a time unless the printed Return Time is more than two hours away. (It's sometimes less during the busiest travel periods.) For example, you cannot get a set of FASTPASS tickets at Space Mountain and then run to the other side of the park and get another set for Splash Mountain while you are waiting for your designated ride time."

Seems like this could put a kink in my plan to get FP in Fantasyland for all the most popular rides like Pooh, Peter Pan, Dumbo so that they can ride it right then and then also later when we return in the afternoon with the FP. I wasn't aware of this rule. How do you work around it?

one suggestion is for example, if you get a fast pass for space mountain with a return time of 1100am to 1215pm, at 1101 am, you go to the next attraction you want to ride, get a fast pass for that, then go to Space mountain and ride with your first fass pass. So you technically can have more than one fast pass at a time, you just have to wait until after your first time listed on the FP to get a new one.


We did this several times during our last trip.

Well, let's see if I can help. If you arrive at the park at say .... opening, and then immediately get a FP for Pooh your return time on your fastpass for Pooh should be something like 10am. So between opening and 10 am you ride as many of the rides as you can. As soon as 10 arrives you get a FP at another attraction .... the return time for that attraction could be as soon as 20 minutes away or as long as 2 hours depending on how busy it is while you are there. The best thing to do it just grab a Fastpass as soon as you can for whatever you can.

On a side note.... TGM users agree not to discuss anything from his site on other sites like here at the DIS. Not that you said anything that the normal person here or pretty much anywhere else doesn't already know. I would try to be careful though. If you have any questions or need any help with the TGM site let me know. I don't mind helping out at all, if you need someone to walk you through it. Just send me a PM either here or at the TGM forums.

The BIG thing you need to know is that there are NOT that many FP attractions in the park anyway.

Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, and Mickey's PhilharMagic are the only Fantasyland FP rides.

The entire MK only has the following FP rides:

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Frontierland
Buzz Lightyear - Tomorrowland
Jungle Cruise - Adventureland
Splash Mountain - Frontierland
Space Mountain - Tomorrowland
Mickey's PhilharMagic - Fantasyland
Peter Pan's Magic Flight - Fantasyland
Winnie the Pooh - Fantasyland
