We had 4 GAD vouchers. We used 2 in MK on 2 different days, one in Epcot, and one at HS.

You can redeem your voucher at MK guest relations. We got to the park by 8:15 and the windows were all open and ready to go. It took less than 3 minutes. Beware, on our 1st day we were given an old ride list that didn't have Splash Mtn in the Donald group. It was left over from when it was closed. We got Fastpasses with our park tickets, so it was a non-issue, but if you get one w/o Splash on it, it is wrong.

With our park tickets and the GAD vouchers we rode and rode and rode with no wait.

One morning we went to the Speedway 1st b/c that line is insane, and then hit the bigger stuff later with our GAD and park ticket fastpasses. We still sent DH to get a fastpass at opening for Splash both days b/c my boys will ride that 100 times if we let them.

We never ever used our Daisy passes. There was never a need. I never tried using the card for a Donald ride after we used all our passes as we just used our park tickets.

We did make sure to hit popular non-fastpass rides first b/c we knew we didn't need to wait with the GAD passes.

You can insert your GAD fastpass card more than once in a row for a hot ride like TSM. I got 2 instant fastpasses for each card right away.

At HS you need to go to Will Call, not guest relations. Epcot too. But MK we went to Guest relations.

It was such a great trip with no waiting at all since we had so many fastpasses in hand.
 
Sounds great!!! We will be using ours at all 4 parks in just 4 weeks!!! Since this is a short trip -- only 4 days -- these passes will enable us to ride our favorites multiple times!

FWIW, we turned in our vouchers for MK at Will Call (at TTC). That works too.

Agree it was a significantly different trip with those magic fastpasses in hand! :thumbsup2

Yup...you can do that 3 times :) Each time it uses a credit. So if it is easier to deal with, you can use one card to get up to 3 FPs at a time (by reinserting) and using those rather than inserting different cards.

At the MK entrance, most of the time the Guest Relations windows are also Will Call. On busier days, they may move Will Call to the rotunda building nearby - there is a sign nearby that points which way Will Call is that day.
 

Is there a cut off time of when you can redeem the GAD for a fastpass - for instance if we went to MK at 2pm, could we get the fastpasses?

There is no definitive time. Disney does state that they can run out, and they may not give them out after 11am. However, no one has reported a problem getting them later or them ever running out.
 
I am so, so, so excited to have these vouchers in hand-Fastpass GOLD!!!

We will have 5-so far I'm thinking 2 for MK, 1 for DHS, 1 For Epcot, and 1 for the pin set :woohoo:

Thank you for your report!
 
My family and I are going to Disney World for 5 days. 2 days at the MK and 1 day for E, AK, HS.

Should we use our 2 FP cards one for each day at the MK?

or maybe

1 FP card for one day at MK and the other FP card at Epcot?
