If you have bought & used FITS passes & are from U.S. please post experiences here

Just want to make sure U.S. citizens aren't having problems using these before I shell out over $1700 for ours.

Thanks!

We will use them in a few days I will post about it when I get back, but I got tons of positive feedback on these tickets here earlier this year.

I'm ordering mine on Monday, I am sure they will be ok. After all, what if someone bought them while living in another country and then moved to the U.S., to me as long as the passes do not have country restrictions on them, WDW would have to take them.

I always get worried when something is THIS good. But I worried the first time I bought tickets from Connections, I kept having
these horrible visions of WDW confiscating my invalid, fraudulent passes! LOL But I had no problem with those either.

I am just paranoid.

We used them last February and didn't have any problems at all , only show ID and activate.

Used them last Dec. had no problems!

We used the FITS pass in December of 2003 with no problem. FYI we did lose one but went to the ticket counter with the remaining ones and had no problem getting the lost one replaced. The cast member pointed out that it was so easy to replace because we had all the other ones with us and they just looked up our numbers and knew which one needed replacing. He said you wouldn't belive how many people lose a ticket and stop at the booth while the rest of the family goes ahead and then they have a very hard time trying to find out which ticket needs replacing.

Anyway, loved the FITS, had no problems with it!

We used them last month during our Easter trip. My son and I were there for 10 days. My sister, her family, her SIL and her 10 year old daughter were there for a week. We all used the passes without any problem.

From now on if we're there for 6 or more days, we'll get the FITS passes. I loved the freedom of coming and going as much as we pleased without having to worry about "wasting" a day on the hopper passes.

I order ours on 5/07 and got them on 5/18. I spent over $1700.00 but it's cheaper than any php's I could find. Rosa also made photo copies and sent them with our vouchers for our records. We are going for 10 nights so I'm feeling like we got a super deal. Now we are trying to decide where we want to have the character breakfast thats included.

Be sure to get copies of the tickets when you turn the vouchers in.

We used our breakfast vouchers at Cape May Cafe and Donald's. Both were good, but I enjoyed Cape May more than Donald's.

Do they ship them to you at your U.S. address with no problem?

I didn't have any problems having the vouchers mailed here. The company the sales the tickets is located in Florida.

I heard that CRT is included on the tickets for the free character breakfast, but how do you do that? Don't you have to pay Disney when you make the PS? I remember when we went to CRT 2 years ago, I had to pay Disney some kind of deposit, how does that work if I have free passes? Anyone know this one?

Keep in mind that if you order from Paramount, they ship via UPS and they require a signature. They won't let you sign the sticky note that UPS leaves with an instruction on where to leave the envelope. Had I known that, I'd have shipped it to my office.

At least I was able to call UPS with the tracking number and reroute it to my office. Otherwise, I'd have had to drive to the UPS distribution center to pick it up in person.

I'm not concerned at all about using our FITS passes. We used the 10-day hoppers last time without any problems.

 

[hulabird]

Thanks for pointing out that UPS signature thing RUDISNEY...I'd be one of those people having to go to the UPS center otherwise.

We used these on our Dec/Jan trip. they were the best. Being able to come and go as you please without any worries. The breakfast vouchers saved us $100 in Chief Mickeys. When the park closed we just headed over to DTD and did DQ or else PI. What fun. The only thing I didn't like was were had to leave before the passes expired. BooHoo. Maybe someday we can stay 30 days.

 

[funhouse8]

I just wanted to add that i used these in Dec and read all the fine print and no where did it state you couldn't be from the usa. We also shelled out alot of money and was worried. When we got to epcot the girl didn't seem to know what code to put in but made a pphone call and we were on our merry way.

I hate to sound stupid but what are FITS passes and where do you get them?

 

[hulabird]

They are actually called "Fun in the Sun" passes and are good for 30 days. They include all four Disney parks, the water parks, PI, DQ, Wide world of sports and a free character breakfast and some other places like Kennedy Space Center. They were originally intended to be marketed in countries other than the US, but Paramount Int'l Travel sells them to US customers for 311.00/adults and 251.00/children and a $15 shipping charge.
So you can see it is a pretty good deal. If you want more info you can look at mousesavers.com, it lists everything about them.

 

[barb45]

thanks for the information about these passes. I was searching disney.com and couldn't find it because I didn't have the proper name I guess. Anyway you summed it up well.

Paramount is an outstanding company. We used 10 day worldpasses last time and are using the same this summer.

Last time the breakfast vouchers did include Cindy's but this time they are not listed on there. I have made no PS's for us for the character breakfast but I suppose I should pretty soon!!!
