    Default Fastpass tip

    C&P

    SUPER DUPER TIP........Always get your park tickets seperate from your room key........your room key will work in the Fastpass machine too. so by having one park ticket and one room key for each person, you can get 2 fastpass at the same time.........example....I used room key at BTMR and then walked over and used Park ticket at Splash. Its not cheating, I asked, I was told that is the extra perk for staying on property but most people dont use it cause they put their ticket on their room key.

    Wow! Crazy good tip! Especially for people traveling during peak times!

    So, you tried this yourself, Tom? Were the CM at check in irritated or confused by the request for the room key to be separate from the ticket media?
    How long ago was this tried?

    I posted about it to my TA group and they said that it was possible in the past (actually you could use almost ANY card with a magnetic strip in the past!) but it has been changed for a couple of years now. They figured out what people were doing (they read the boards too, you know! LOL) so they tightened up the system.

    If anyone tries this, please post and let us know!

    We did two things, one wasn't the most moral and the other was.

    We were a group of 7; 4 adults 3 kids one was an infant.

    1) 2 Adults would take Joseph (he's 4 but not tall enough for most rides) and would get a Rider Swap Fastpass (these are good for 3 people). Then the other 2 adults would take Samantha (infant) and get one. Then we'd take turns riding the ride without actually getting a fast pass for the ride.

    2) We would have 1/2 our group get a FP for a ride and the other half would get one for another ride and then each would get a Rider swap FP (again one is good for 3 people)

    Sometimes just telling them (CM) there were 7 of us, they'd just give us 2 of the Rider Swap FP so there was never any really wait time.

    We've done your #2 suggestion before. Never had 2 little ones with us, but I might have done what you did in that case as well. ;-)
