looks like a con you still have to buy a ticket to get in the parks and then you can get a FP anyway!!

I would be concerned that you would get thrown out of the park if found using these,that is if they even work

Avoid

The feedback is probably based on the fact they have rec'ed the fast pass tickets but whos knows if they work:spin:
The seller bought 20 passes for £16.89 from another seller so they probably don't even know if they work or not.
I would def give them a miss

I've bought some, albeit from a different seller. Going in October so I will save my feedback till then.
I posted a thread asking for any information on these and one of the responses was that they are probably obtained from Cast Members at DLP.
The passes appear genuine, printed on the usual disney type ticket card, with unique computer generated numbering and magnetic strip.

Will see how it goes, not a great loss if they don't work but could be quite useful if they do as we are probably going to buy DLP annual passes and go a few times in the year from Oct 08.

I'm inclined to think dodgy, it reminds me a little of something someone posted on a Disneyland board recently: An auction for discount tickets but you had to meet the seller to get them (and also leave your driving license with them!!) and return them at the end of the day. Seems as if the seller was buying 3 day park hoppers and making a profit of $100 a ticket, since DL doesn't have a system to identify a person to a particular ticket.

This is defernatly a con.
seller sends tickets straight out buyer leaves a posative feedback when the tickets arrive. buyer may then hold the ticket for a while before trying to use it. if it fails to work the buyer can not then go to ebay and leave a negative for the seller.
also note the sellers name sounds a bit like pigsick to me
feedbacks in the past 12 months are mainly as a buyer (52) and seller (18) from 31st May.

1 thing also to remeber when buying from Ebay is that feedbacks have time limits from sale to leaving so if planning to leave feedback 6 months down the line for tickets bought you may be out of luck.

Have bought these from a different seller (direct from France, they are cheaper) and used them on our trip earlier this month. They work a treat ;)

sounds dodgy to me although if they work and you can get them at a good price and its what you want to do then who's to stp you
for me no thanks

If they do work as advertised (i.e. they let you get as many fastpasses as you like) then you'd only need one anyway, and you could just keep swiping it until you got enough fastpasses for your group.

The system would allow for this sort of thing to work by the way, you get something similar if you stay in the Castle Club, but I've no idea if these are genuine.

Each fastpass works the same way as your entry ticket, you insert it in the machine and it comes out together with your fastpass listing times etc.

You can't get another fastpass off that ticket until the time for the current fastpass has expired.

We found them very useful, maybe because we had only two days to do both parks and trying to please a two year old and eleven year old which meant pretty much every ride ;)

Just sold them on again again we got back, but wouldn't hesitate to buy for another trip (only at the cheaper price on the french ebay website).

But that is exactly how Fastpasses work anyway!! In DLP you can also hold FPs for all the rides at the same time, don't have to wait for the return window to come up (as far as I can remember - it is in the Brit's Guide to DLRP I'm sure) - this seems to be a con for people who don't know how FP works

They changed it earlier on this year Matt. The system is now the same as that of WDW with the one fastpass at a time.

I personally wouldn't buy these from eBay although previous park tickets from trips do still work in the fast pass machines. Maybe this is what he is selling, peoples old tickets.

I would say it is a con - care is needed with these types of things on Ebay - as stated above "If it sounds too good to be true it usually is!!!"

That's a shame - it was great last year having more than 1 at a time :(

Something to remember for next year's trip! Thanks Leanne!

Don't forget to keep your old park tickets Matt.;)

Yes, unless they've blocked that little loophole too, you could get a fastpass at DLP using an OLD entrance ticket (i.e. not your one from today, but from a previous trip). I found that very useful last trip...

Seems to be a controversial issue :confused2 but I can only speak from experience - they were disney printed fastpasses (not old tickets), worked perfectly and suited us :grin:

Didn't mention anything about re-using your fastpasses in the 08/09 Brit's Guide so we thought that these would be handy.

Each to his own I suppose :d:

I don't know anything about these tickets but would say that with the seller's feedback that it is very unlikely that they are a 'con'. Looks like a very reputable ebayer to me :)

they could be from a cast member

when we were in WDW 1 of our room keys wouldnt work at the FP machine, i asked a CM, who said it must have got corrupt, so she peeled a card out of her hand and said use that for the day as your other card for FP's, that card worked all holiday, so it could be 1 of them type of cards

Id say they were genuine as CMs carry unlimited FPs - unlike WDW where there is probably more security and they are number coded probably the Paris ones are generic and cant be traced to a CM.

Ive gotten unlimited use FPs before from a CM when I complained about something so they do exist. Id say it was a DLP employee where they originated from.

Wizzywoo but I suppose that depend on what you call big. I waited 35 mins on Big Thunder Mountain, but that was the exception (I had ride Big Thunder and then meet some one so I didn't have time to come back later). We went in June, so not exactly high season. I agree the fast passes are free once you are inside the park so why bother paying for them.
