My friends and I will be arriving in WDW on 11/12. None of them are soap fans, but I am (I've been watching since I was about 4. I remember when characters who are now 5 years older than me were born 
) I know if I'm at WDW during SSW I'll regret it if I don't go. My friends don't mind if we spend some time there, but I have some concerns. I'm not the kind of person who gets "fanatical" - cool if you are, I'm just not, I'm kind of shy. Will SSW be way too much for me 
? I'm really only into GH. All I would want to do is get 2 or 3 autographs (depending on who's going to be there), get a few pics, and maybe go back later in the day to see the parade. Am I going to have to spend the whole day at MGM to do that? I don't know if I can handle crazy 
soap fans for that long, and I don't want to put my friends through all the crowds for too long when they're not even soap fans. How does the fast pass system work for SSW, is it per autograph, or per autograph session? Will my friends have to get fast passes just to stand in line with me even if they don't want autographs for themselves? Also, is one day generally better (i.e., less crowded) than the other? I was thinking Sunday would be better than Saturday. Is that a good idea, or does it not really matter?

). I've met a large portion of the GH cast (I watch GH and watched PC when it was on and have met almost everyone who was on that show) and so far all that I've met have been great. You just have about 30 seconds or so with the actor (unless they are the chatty type and a few are). They'll ask you name and sign the autograph to you (they have cards with their B&W pics on them--includes their real name, character name and show) and take a picture. Don't know how the FP works because we never did that at DCA. I would suggest that your friends stand on the outside of the line if at all possible if they don't want the autograph/photo. You can either hand your camera to one of them for the pic or to one of the cms.
I'd love more information about how Fastpass works for SSW - if anyone can tell me about that, I'd really appreciate it 
. Also, when do the usually announce what stars will be attending?
) and it is a bit crazy. In order to get autographs you must get to the park around 7:00-7:30 am (they open early to let people wait in line). Then they set up Fast Pass stations for the three different soaps. You must wait on line to get a Fast Pass for the person you are interested in. Each Fast Pass gives you a particular time you are assigned to meet the star you choose. Then if you want a second Fast Pass you have to get back on the end of the line.
