A tidbit from my way-too-long May 2005 trip report (long story as to why we had 3 extra FastPasses, but...):
On our way out (of Splash Mountain) it was just about 3:45 p.m., the opening of our original FastPass window. As my wife, my son and I exited past the very end of the now 70 minute stand-by line, I tried looking out for a family of three, and when I saw one I asked if there was a party of three. The two women in their 20's and a young boy that I saw spoke up that they were a party of three, and I asked them if they wanted Splash FastPasses that were good immediately. They didnt know how to react at first because they said they didnt know what a FastPass was or why it would be helpful to them. By rights, I should have just said Nevermind and given them to someone who knew what they were getting, but after a quick explanation and some squeals of happiness they jumped out of line and thanked me profusely. As we walked in the same direction they told us what nice people we were, and I joked that they wouldnt think so if they knew us in real life. One of the women replied to me, Oh yeh, well you wouldnt think we were very nice, either, if you knew what we were doing 10 minutes ago. If my 5 year old son werent with me I would have asked, but I didnt dare do it with him in tow; I had visions of Penthouse Forum letters dancing in my head for the next few minutes (conveniently ignoring that they were with a boy about Bens age). Another Disney good deed accomplished.
