Leaving tomorrow & I have a FP ??

[chip91]

O.K., so I went to the dr. today & he asked where I was going on Vaca..So when I told him he said I use to go there yearly, my parents lived there..So he proceeded to give me a 20 minute run down of his tips, etc..(guess I got my money's worth out of the visit anyway) ANYWHO, he said make sure if you obtain a FASTPASS, you actually use it, b/c they keep track of that, if you don't use it, you may not be able to get another one..Is this true?? I plan to use any fastpasses we get, but if say, we get one for the afternoon & I decided it's BREAK TIME and we miss it, I don't want to be denied another !!

THANKS anyone who can help!
Chip

Just shows everyone loves Disney.........It use to be once a FP was issued you could not get another one until you used the first one or you waited two hours. They have now changed it. Now the FP you are issued will not only tell you the return time for the FP attraction but will also tell you the time you can get your next FP (it ranges from immediately at LCA at MG to over an hour). So make sure before you actually get the FP that you check to see if it is a convenient time or not (not during an ADR or show you want to go to). If you don't use it nothing happens, just that may have to wait to get your next one.

Have a great trip.

I think what he is referring to is that technically you cannot have more than one fast pass at a time. ( There are ways around this, but that was not your question) So he is saying that if you have a fast pass for Pooh from 1-2 pm that that you will not be able to get another one until 1:05 (approx) pm. Not that you won't be able to get or use another fast pass if you haven't used the one for POOH. i know for a fact that you do not have to use one fast pass before using another. We have occasionally gotten fast passes with return windows over lapping one another. ToT 1:30-2:30 pm and RNR 2-3 pm. We have used RNR first and then TOT Actually they (the CM's) won't let us in before the first time posted on the fast pass, but have many times let us in after the second time. We have had as many as three fast passes at once. Does this help or make it more confusing? Really my understanding is that the crowds are so low right now that you won't even need the fast passes. We usually go in Jan and we keep the fast passes as souveniers or for my scrapbooking pages!!!

There have been several times when we had fastpasses that we didn't use...it was usually when we were leaving later in the day. I do know that the next day, we were always able to obtain more. I can't recall if we ever had any unused ones from early in the day & got more later that same day.
I doubt that anyone would be unable to obtain a FP because they hadn't used an earlier one (I think I would've seen it written somewhere by now).
