Fast pass query

[dolphin3]

We're off to WDW in less than a month:jump: one thing i cant find any info on is the fast pass system - as theres 10 of us going do we need to put all 10 tickets in the machine for the fast pass time or will one ticket do?:confused2

I'm certain you will need to put all 10 in.

[Leanne1977]

You will need to put a ticket in per person. You then cannot have another fast pass ticket until the time at the bottom of the ticket.

Hope this helps.:)

OMG those replies came thru fast:omg:

Much appreciated - thank you:grin:

One person can take all the tickets to the machine, rather than all 10 of you lining up.

Put the fast pass ticket in the machine while the rest queue for another ride.

You will be allocated a time to come back and ride say between 2pm amd 2.45pm. At 2pm you can then also get another fast pass for another ride, effectively holding 2 fast passes. This is the only time you can hold 2 fast pass tickets for 2 diff rides.

Also just because your time says ride between 2pm and 2.45pm this doesnt mean you have to actually ride at that time. You cannot ride before that time but you can ride after that time say at 6pm if you wanted ! We do this every year at some point because you may be in a show, at dinner or lunch or had to nip back to the hotel if you need to and its allowed, we checked with a CM just to make sure :)

But be careful if it's windy as the fast passes are just paper. The ones waiting in the little slot at the bottom of the machine might get blown away whilst you feed the rest of the tickets in :blush: .

I just had a thought. If you are getting 10, I wonder if there is a slight risk that they may be for different timeframes.

In that case I think you would all need to go for the later timeframe because they are quite strict about not letting you use them earlier. I have used them a few minutes after the timeframe no problem.

Yes that's right, generally, although we have had CMs being lenient when only two of us in a group were a couple of minutes early.

what we did was to go to the fast pass entrance and tell them we were involved in a baby swop, they then give you a fastpass ticket that up to three can use at any time of the day.
Totaly amazing find that was. Of course we had a child with us but it meant we never had to queue or worry about a FP.

It isn't really an issue. At worst you will get some tickets in one time window and the rest in the next - for most attractions there is 5 minutes between windows, so you will have a 55 minute overlap between the two sets.

Where it becomes an issue is for shows like Lights Motors Action and Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. They only issue so many tickets for each show so your "second group" would be in the next show, some time after the first group.

Note also that for Lights Motors Action you can get Fastpasses for other attractions immediately - there is no 1 hour wait, or wait until after the show, so it is a great one to get first thing. (Same may be true of Indy - never tried it yet.)
