Disney’s Awesome Things #4: Finding a Valid, Usable Fastpass
February 1, 2010 at 7:58 pm Matt 4 comments
#4 Coordinating Fastpasses can be a rough job. After all, you must get the family together, organize all the tickets, and hope you can schedule different attraction times to fit everyone’s schedule. Whew!
After all that hard work – sweat pouring off your face and everything – you look down. You look down and see a piece of paper. What is it?
It’s your ticket to a half-hour journey to bliss away from your family. It’s a Fastpass to some attraction, which means while everyone else eats ice cream at Mrs. Potts, you get to sneak off and ride your last ride for the night.
To the person that dropped this: thank you. I know you’ll miss it, but your Fastpass is in good hands. Now go on and use that wonderful, valid ticket to happieness, okay?

We didn’t actually find a FastPass but someone handed me and my husband 2 FPs just as we were about to enter DHS on our first day during our last visit in August 2009.
Just as I re-joined my husband after visiting the restroom, a man came up to us with 2 FPs for Toy Story Mania and asked if we wanted them. As if we’d say “no”?!
We checked thru the gate and walked as fast as our legs would let us straight to TSM.

I have been handed random Fastpasses some times too. I know, right? Who would actually reject free fastpasses!
I was debating whether to make this article about finding FP’s or someone giving you FP’s. Guess I should’ve written it the other way.
Thanks for sharing. =)

Because my kids are little and don’t last that long in the parks, I can’t always use the FPs I get. I love giving them away. Last time we were there it was 3 for Buzz Lightyear. The two young girls we gave them to were thrilled–it made my day.

I’ve given some away too Chris, and it really is a great feeling. Probably it’s just a little sample of what cast members feel all the time!
