WDW To Enforce FP+ Rules
- Thread starter LAKid53
- Start date
Perhaps -- but it seems every time a "work-around" becomes common knowledge, they change the rules or procedures just enough to close a loophole.
Then the crafty, ingenious American people go to work figuring out another "Disney hack." It's a never-ending game of cat-and-mouse...

So it sounds like that the day users are totally abusing the system. I don't understand how someone could use non active MB. So with this loop hole, I go back to WDW. I already have 6 MB. the three I get from booking and the three custom ones I got at the park. So we go back get three more, and link the old one to the account and I could have 27 fast passes? Well crap, I guess that would be cheating. So only the active ones, but then the intrepid would just leave come back scan the old band linked to the account and so forth, so really the system need to be completely proactive and only allow one MB active per paid admission , so locking accounts might be the only way. For me family of 3 should have a max of 9 FP+ in advance.
And to the people who at 180 days make multiple ADR using each member of the party. That is why they had to go to 180 days because people have to book earlier to just get an ADR. 12:01 AM I have to be just to get a Cindi's ADR. Our last trip we booked 3 months out. I was lucky to get the most off the wall times for places because all the best places nada. No Cindi, no SciFi, only breakfast BOG, only breakfast at Ohana. It got to the point we just showed up and planed for no shows.

When we were in the parks a couple days ago, we overheard briefly a cm at 7dwarfs telling what appeared to be his supervisor how he is noticing guest abusing the parent swap. apparently figuring a way to get multiple parent swap tickets and between those and their fp being able to ride like 6 times.
True. Neither Gringots or Forbidden Journey accept Express Pass. I was surprised the new King Kong ride did.

When you say "Green FP+ cards" do you mean RFID ticket cards? That is what we used on our trip last month wince we didn't want to buy Magic Bands.
I didn't pay the closest attention, but I think they change up use of the second tapstyles depending on the situation (length of standby line perhaps?). It seemed like they used them some days at Space mountain and other days not.
My recent experience on this point was different this trip than previous. Previously we used Fastpass and child swap together. This trip I asked once at Space Mountain and the procedure there was to have everybody wait in line and then the grouper sent the waiting party down the ramp to the ride exit, and when the riding party got off the waiting party (and one or two others) went back up the ramp where the grouper allowed them to load.
This may not be a change of policy as much as a change in how we fit the policy. Previously our kids were not tall enough to ride, now they were tall enough but were afraid to ride. The other time we asked about child swap was at BTMRR and we were told that rider swap passes were only if you were not tall enough to ride.

I've always wondered if that was a J.K. Rowling thing and not specifically a Universal thing.
Thanks, Steve, for the official word. Wow, Disney is really serious about this - permanently cancelling access to FP for repeat offenders is akin to getting that yellow piece of paper. Must have been a major problem if Disney is threatening that.
We can all sit back and wait for the hacks to start showing up on some of the other (less reputable) Disney forums - I give it a month...
Perhaps, but you can use Express Pass on the Hufflepuff coaster and Dragons Challenge. She did, though, have a lot of input into Harry Potter world.

Nice! So it sounds like you're going to get flagged if you even try it, then banned if you continue. That's legit!

A large chunk of people on dis, so we can probably start with that number.
It was amusing reading that thread.

The problem is, neither of your two solutions are viable given the stable of Fast Pass attractions currently available in the parks that have tiers.
Those tiers are in place so the same person can't book Soarin', Test Track, and Frozen 70 days out on a single day leaving everyone else with the rides nobody wants to "waste" fastpasses on.
If Epcot was busting at the seams with popular attractions the way the Magic Kingdom is, this wouldn't be a problem but they're not and neither by a far stretch is Hollwood Studios.
This is also why they have fastpasses for a viewing spot for Illuminations - it's not because this was needed but instead is meant to give people more ways to burn up fast-passes in a tier that has popular things in it.
The only solution for parks with tiers is the addition of more desirable attractions.
They're slowly on their way with that but if it'll be enough once those come online, is anyone's guess.
