Humour a first-timer (question)

[snickerboo]

At WDW, do you show your park tickets every time you get on a ride/attraction? Or can one member of your party take your ticket and go get fastpasses while you enjoy something they won't? I'm reading the UOG and trying to plan. At one point, it would be easier for my dh to head over and get us FPs for one attraction while I let the kids blow off steam at Tom Sawyer's Island. Don't know if that's possible.

It's absolutely possible. . . if it weren't for fastpass you could concievably go the entire day without pulling your ticket out again. Once you're in, you're in. Lots of people here send one member of the family to get everyone's fast passes (sometimes crowds form around those machines so it's often easier for one person to squeeze through than a few so even when we're all together only one will get the fast passes)

No one in our group has ever been asked to show a park ticket to get in que for a ride... (Though I'm sure there's a first time for everything!) We have always sent one person to get fastpasses while the rest of us rode something, got a snack, etc... Enjoy your first trip! I'm sending pixie dust so that it will be truly magical!

Excellent! Thank-you! that will save us a lot of walking with two kids in tow. plus, I imagine it will be easier to stick to 'the plan' if we aren't walking by a lot of cool attractions just to grab FPs.

And thanks, Pooh Bear, for the pixie dust! It's going to be very exciting for all of us since dh and I have not been since kids (we're essentially first-timers since I haven't been since before Epcot existed!) and it's the first time for the kiddos.
