Using old Fastpasses

[dizneekrazee]

Why/how do they get disconencted?

Sy - no wonder!! they aren't even remotely the same, one is a ride and one is arena show?

I know.... I was making a funny!

I keep my FPs in a backpack pocket, never empty it out until my trip is complete. Funny part is I end up with 50-60 FPs (family of 4 for 3-4 days) left over each trip. That being said, I have on a few occasions, used FPs from earlier days on my trip without problems. The caveat, I only use them on rides where I used my FP and it broke down - I return later with the expired FP (prior day) and explain what happened. The CM's have always been accepting.

I think that's a good question for upper management.

I don't ask why or how, just try to stay informed of which ones aren't networked so as to maximize my FP usage.

Wow. One thing we love doing is "dreaming" someone with leftover fastpasses at the end of the day. Your youngun' has just about had enough, ready to throw major tantrums from over-stimulation, so you decide to call it a day just before you get on Indy with your FPs. So you go over to the standby line, which just happens to be posting a 70 minute wait. There's a family there the same size as yours, looking tired but determined. You ask them if they'd like your FPs since you can't use them. They look at you like you're an angel from heaven. It is a sweet feeling!

I love doing that too! Although one time we tried to give out FP's to a grandma and her granddaughter and they thought we were trying to scam them, I was so embarrassed. They did end up taking the FP's but I don't think they knew what they were But another time we gave a mom and her son FP's for screaming when we overheard them saying they wished they had FP's to ride again, they were so happy and I think it made both our nights. I would rather people do that than try to reuse year old FP's.

I did this too with our Dream Passes! I knew we could only stay until 3pm that day, and I only had 2 Dream Passes (used only one tab each cause there were no crowds and I had my baby with me). I gave them to a couple coming out of Splash while waiting for my sisters to exit. I then saw a lady with her son come running frantically up to the couple and say, "Where did you get those?" They said, "A lady gave them to us who wasn't using them." And the mom goes, "Why would someone give those away?"

That was before I knew you could use them any time, any day.

Pay it forward!
