Not until I started on these boards did I know that you could use your fast pass late. I never even thought about it, honestly.

The pass says I can return between 10:55 and 11:55, so I make sure that I return in that time frame. If my lunch runs late or I'm stuck in line on the other side of the park, well then that's my fault for thinking that I could get from point A to point B with enough time to spare. If I k I guess it never occurred to me to try and go later than the posted time. I feel like the general public should be grateful that such a convenience even exists and shouldn't feel like we're being " shorted" on this. What did we do before fast passes even existed? That's right, we waited. Fast passes are in place as a convenience. period. They are not a "right", :rotfl: that's just a silly mentality to have! We don't pay for them and should feel lucky that they are there for us to abuse, er I mean use.

Just my two cents. :rolleyes1
This was us too. Many a fastpass became decorations in my scrapbook because we missed the times by as little as 30 min. Oh well they make great souvies.
 
Ha! My fast passes that werent used go to scrapbooking too!

Hi all...

You know those threads where Disers were discussing and sharing their pins openly? Well, one of the moderators removed them all. Goes against the policy here apparently. It's interesting how strongly the moderator worded his message. He certainly meant business! Although, come to think of it, I doubt anyone who posted meant any real harm to others. Oh well. I hope no one was too offended now that it's all history.

Anyhoos, I never did make that call to find out if I had a pin attached to my current reservation. Been too busy with work. Guess we will just have to wait till the codes for the general public are released.

At least we know we are heading to WDW in less than 10 months!:yay::woohoo:
 

Good Morning everyone! Look at my ticker, look at my TICKER, LOOK AT MY TICKER!!!! I'm under 9 months!!! :cool1::rotfl::woohoo::yay::banana::rotfl2:
 
Didn't mean to offend.. :)

Tried the nice approach yesterday and got nowhere is all.

We have that rule for a reason.. And while yes some folks have traveled on vacations booked that way with no issues.. others have NOT been so lucky. So it's been a board policy for years.

Thx

What happened? Where they sharing actual numbers? I thought they were attached to your name - or just saying what they got?


I'm going to the party hopefully on 11/13.

Hi, I am from New England. I saved my date on the website and then called a couple weeks later to see if I had a pin. They said I had a 30% for the whole year and any level resort :banana:. Then a couple weeks after that I got the pin via snail mail and it said it was for the month of Nov. so I definitely think saving it on the site had something to do with it. We are planning on staying at Por by the way. I have never been their but it looks nice.

Can you save a vacation online without a deposit? I just signed up for a vacation planning dvd hoping I would get a code from that. Also, does anyone know if Jersey week is blacked out from codes? I thought I saw in a previous post that may be the case. UGH!
 
i've now made my 4 year old obsessed with DisneyWorld lol Every day he talks about something related to the World, today it was Tower of Horror :lmao: the day before that he called it Tower of Doom......we have a lot of days left before November I don't how he's gonna handle that :rotfl:

The "Tower of Doom". That works for me. :thumbsup2

Is it to far out to give him something visual.....like a large count down calendar. I'm ALOT older than him and I still need the visual. :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:

I think Jersey week is unofficial in Disney's eyes, so there would be no blackouts due to that, but Jersey Week falls on Veteran's day, and pending on their view of pins/discounts on holidays, that might be blacked out for that weekend.

Regarding the FP... We enjoyed being about to use them late, but there were times that the kids hit their wall and were just ready to go. Twice I gave our FPs to other families. I loved being able to spread some pixie dust. :goodvibes Once I actually forgot we even had them so I ended up bringing them home.

If they are going to enforce the time, I'll work my touring plan around it. I'm certainly not going to get upset over something that I have no control over. I am interested to see how TP changes their touring plans in light of this new rule.

I'll definitely miss the ability to use late fastpasses. We often collect fastpasses in the morning and then use them in the evening. But we'll adapt...

The only thing that will really change in our park touring is that we won't even try to get a Toy Story Mania fastpass. We usually don't stay in that park long enough to be around for the start of the fastpass window, and would only be able to use it by coming back later in the evening! So we'll head straight to the ride and ride it once, or we'll wait until right before park closing.

We were at rope drop for HS, and got a TSM FP. We were able to use it around 10:30, I think.

Good Morning everyone!!! Another work day another dollar closer to Disney!!! Who is plannin to go to MVMCP?

I am! planning Tue Nov 27

We are!! :wave2:

Thanks for the info. I certainly wouldn't want to be a mod on the boards. There is so much going on, and tempers seem to flare very easily on some of these boards.

Thanks for letting us know. :goodvibes

Good Morning Everyone! My dream of waking up to a 30% pin did not come true! Darn!!!

That made me laugh! :lmao: I know the feeling well! :confused3

Yes, you can save a vacation offer. It will tell you what date it it good through. I think all of mine have expired. I need to go save some more!

i've now made my 4 year old obsessed with DisneyWorld lol Every day he talks about something related to the World, today it was Tower of Horror :lmao: the day before that he called it Tower of Doom......we have a lot of days left before November I don't how he's gonna handle that :rotfl:

Make a countdown chain. I can't tell you how great it was for our last trip. The kids new 18 months in advance. At a year we made a chain. I was so long, and hung all across our living room, but it was great! The kids loved seeing it get shorter and shorter. They took turns tearing a ring off every night. They never asked when are we going because they knew when the last ring was torn, we were leaving the next day. Made it much easier on me too! ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning all! I guess it's afternoon for some of you! Yesterday I discovered one good thing about me not working right now. I'm always home and not spending much money! A tank of gas lasted me an entire MONTH!! I was able to double my monthly vacation savings amount! I never realized how much I spend on eating out, and buying small things when I'm working. A little here and a little there really add up to a lot! Who knew?! :confused3 :rotfl:

DD has decided she wants to go on a girls trip for her 7th birthday. She got an American Girl doll for Christmas, and the nearest AG store is in Dallas. I gave her the choice of a birthday party or a trip. She voted for the a trip. It will be her first plane ride, and she's so excited!! I'm happy because I miss Dallas. I used to live there before I got married. And the good news is I think I can do it cheaper than a party!! We have enough airline miles to fly for free. I have friends who live there so we are going to stay with them. I get a rental car discount through my employer. The only other stuff I have to pay for is meals and some spending money. DD's grandparents and aunt and uncles will give her money to spend at the AG store. I'm really looking forward to spending a weekend with DD in Dallas. Anyway, I'm going to plan and book that today. :woohoo:
