How should I use my GAD Fastpass?

[ajworthy]

We are going to be at Disney for 6 days. I have 3 GAD vouchers. I need help trying to figure out which parks to redeem them in. Any suggestions?

I'd start off looking at each park and seeing which rides you can redeem the FPs at. Then figure out which rides you really want to do to narrow it down a bit.

You can find the ride list here. Like DaniB said, it depends what you want to ride. We got the most time value from using them at DHS - we rode Toy Story Mania three times using the GAD FPs (twice after all FPs were gone for the day by 11:15) and used park tickets for ToT and RnR. At Epcot, we rode Soarin' and Test Track and actually gave away four FPs for Test Track. MK is great just because there are so many Donald choices for all ages and thrill levels. We rarely used any of the Daisy credits during our trip in July. AK has two Donald rides - Expedition Everest and Kilimanjaro Safaris. We've always found it easy to get everything done at AK, but if those are among your favorites, you might want to ride them a few extra times.

We hadn't planned to use a voucher at Epcot since the Donald rides are Soarin' and Test Track and we knew we could get them done using regular FPs, but we hopped to Epcot one evening at 6 pm and regular FPs were gone and waits were long. If you are planning one park to be an evening park, you might consider using a voucher there. Disney has stated that FP exchange cards might be limited, but no one has ever reported not being able to get them in the afternoon or evening, even during busy weeks.

When we were there in May we had 3 to use as well. If you like Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios then you are DEFINITELY going to want to use one there. Even on a non-Extra Magic Hour weekday during a low-attendance time the stand-by line eventually built to 180 minutes....YOW!!! And at rope drop a long line built at the FastPass kiosks! The regular FP's were all gone for the day by late morning. We got some longing looks when we were able to use the special GAD FP machine to each get 3 TSM FP's! Because we wanted to hit all our favorite rides at MK and Epcot on our final day we used our other 2 at those parks.
