Allow me to set up the scene as it plays into my tale:
I was in the Single Rider line at Rock-n-Roller coaster and saw the Dream Squad. I was standing right at the door where all three lines converge (FP, Stand-By and Single Rider). The room (I guess you could call it a corrall) is the old queueing area where they had the tape machines and right before the last queue area in front of the doors before you enter the studio. The dream squad (there were 3) were in the corrall next to the stand-by gate. They were looking at their watches.
At 11:10 they sprung into action. All three went to the doorway from the corrall to the ramps (you know how you make that right turn to get to the studio doors? That doorway). One went to the left and the other two went to the right. One of the guys on the right went to the doorway and then pointed at this guy in a red t-shirt, who was standing directly beneath the top of the doorway. They then proceeded to hand out FP lanyards to everyone from him BACK to the corrall. They handed out about a dozen or so people. Good for them.
Here is the interesting part. The guy's girlfriend was to his left, and therefore already in the studio entrance queue. She did not get a lanyard, even though her boyfriend (I am assuming relationship here) got one. So by chance, and where she stood and he stood, he got one and she didnt. I saw them protest, but to no avail. I could see the Dream Squad member telling them that their instructions were for the doorway back only (I couldn't hear what was said, but arm gestures gave me a good guess).
I applaud the Dream Squad for following the rules to the letter, but the fact that he got one and she didn't kind of screws up the intent of getting the dream, doesn't it? With his lanyard, he can go on any attraction listed without waiting. She can't. How much fun is that?
I would think they could make an allowance for the rest of a given party outside the window to get one. Or at least one other in the case that the lucky person is the last of a party of 10. Now he can walk on any ride he wants and she has to either wait or get a regular FP herself, and then they could go on together. But if that's the case, then why does he have the lanyard, he can get a regular. Although I suppose he could use his ticket to get her aa FP for one ride and then hers for another without waiting for the window to reopen.
Has anyone else seen this? Did I even see this correctly? I just found the whole thing odd.

Don't know what would have happened, but from all of the posts I have read since then I believe they would have gotten an extra one so our family wouldn't have been split up. (As it turned out DH went back to the hotel for a nap and I stayed at MGM with DS and used DH's dream Fast Pass.)
(I just shared mine with him.)
