We've received other people's FPs in DLP and given some away (though it's difficult as there are only so many parties of 2, and then you have to explain to someone with a different first language what you are offering!
We were given some hotel FPs once too, and have given some of ours away when we couldn't use them. One thing I like to do in the parks is offer to take pictures for people. Particularly if we are in a queue and I see them trying to get pictures of each other, I'll offer to do it. No-one has yet rumbled my promising career as an international camera thief...

We gave our universal express passes to a family on their way into the parks last year as we were leaving.

In animal kingdom I play the roll a ball derby game I had won twice and a little girl about four years old, was so disappointed she didn’t win so I asked her mam if she could have the toy, the mother was so pleased for her she told me it was her birthday so I wished her happy birthday and gave her the toy. Lovely to see her face all smiles again

We've used credits to buy guests meals too. We once had some spare free tickets to Alton Towers and picked out a family in the queue to pay and gave them to them - that was fun to see their response! Xx

If we have been given a paper FP and not got around to using it we have past it on.
We did childswap for Flight of Passage and as I was going on the ride by myself with FP i walked past a couple saying they would skip it as they wouldn't queue for 3 hours even though they were going home the next day. I asked them rather randomly if they wanted to come on with me. They did and were so happy as hadn't been on it before.

We did this.
We also had left over meal vouchers and the ones for the hot chocole and donuts and gave them to a family just coming in as we were leaving. We had run out of time and it was a shame to let them go to waste so why not We also but something for the food bank each week (well when I can) I look in the website to see what they need and spend £5 then helpfully the drop off box is in the Tesco I use to buy the bits I can’t get from Lidl so just pop them in there. Every little helps as they say |

I love when people do little acts of kindness. Small things can make such a difference to some people. My mum does things like posting scratch cards thru people's doors in an envelope and sends people flowers and doesn't say any of it is from her. I love the feeling you get from doing these kind of things.

Last year in magic kingdom DD and DS had a few goes on the pirates quest (ideal if you have waits between fast passes and standby queues are long) and after the third try the cast member gave them 6 paper fast passes for POTC. We'd already ridden so as we left the park handed them to a family who were on there way in. Love little acts of kindness and always try to pay it forward. DD was also given a shamu plush at seaworld one year by a teen lad as she had tried to win one on a sideshow game and didn't. Thought it was really sweet x

We gave a whole set of Universal passes to a family on their way into the park and gave away some of the old style Disney fastpasses. Also, we gave dd a balloon bouquet at Narcoossees on the day she got her A level results. She noticed some little girls looking admiringly at them, and we were going home a couple of days later, so she gave the balloons to the girls on our way out of the restaurant. They were very happy!
