Vip passes?

[harrowgirl]

Does anyone know anything about these? We are renting a place in Windsor Hills, and with our rental the owner is providing us with some parking passes (we still pay for parking but apparently we can park right behind the handicapped section?), as well as "VIP" passes for splash mountain and big thunder mountain. The way she explained it is that they are good for up to 8 people, and it is basically like a fast pass, but we need to have a child with us. That they were obtained from times when people wait in line for a period of time with a child who is too small for the ride, and gets to the front of the line and it is determined he/she it too short...so they get these passes that don't expire for a fast pass basically to ride the ride next time they arrive. I might not be explaining this exactly right. It seems like. "Too good to be true" type thing.....but the owner sounded confident, and some of the reviews on her website refer to these passes. Does anyone know anything about these? If they are legit, I could cancel my FP+ for those rides and get different FP+ Thanks!

Don't know about the VIP passes, but the parking passes sound like AAA passes. They are right behind the handicapped parking, but the handicapped section is huge, so it isn't like curbside. Depending on what time you get there, AAA parking may not be the closest option....well, if you go early, that is!

It sounds like the owner has a stash of Child Swap passes. I have no experience to if they will still work with all of the changes.

We have been given passes a few times when DS was too short to ride or chickened out last minute on a particular ride. It basically said we could come back anytime and ride without a wait. Mostly this would be using the FP line . We had quite a few for triceratops spin because DS for some reason insisted on the lady measuring him when I tried to tell him him was way too short and then cried when she told him no. She was much more empathetic that I was. They are mostly good for whenever the child is ready to use them but I am sure they are not meant to be sold are given away. We were given some on Mission Space when the same DS chicken out after standing in the long line. They were for anytime that day only. The ones you get may or may not be able to be used. I would not count on it to the point of not getting a FP for any ride you really want to do.

There's no such thing. At least legitimate thing.

It sounds like the owner got his/her hands on used or counterfeit rider switch/child swap tickets:

Or attraction re-entry tickets like this:

These are given out when you have some sort of problem in the park or on an attraction. I thought they had dates on them, which they might, which means they're counterfeit, if your owner is getting them ahead of time.

The parking pass thing is a pass to the AAA Diamond lot. This too is an inappropriate use of the pass, as they are supposed to be non-transferable. Some people selling them on ebay don't even bother to cover up the non-transferable disclaimer:

Here's an old discussion of counterfeiters.
