Just curious, what types of things happen in those private events? Are they private groups using the attractions, or private groups having seminars, or what? I just never really thought about private groups renting space inside the theme parks and had figured that all happened at the resorts.

I didn't say I favor it. I'm also not meaning to put this out there as "news about Disney's plans." It's just my opinion that this will someday come to pass, and I think probably sooner than later. Sure there would be fallout, but again, as long as some access is available to the gen public...

Soarin is the exception, not the rule. Most rides don't have the kind of extreme queue pressure that it has. I think it would be a system where a certain number of fastpass credits are tied to your room key (like the dining plan credits) and deluxe guests would get the most perks from it...

I think it's more likely we'll eventually see fastpass benefits linked in some way to the resort level you are staying at than a crackdown on late returns. One provides incentive to pay more to Disney, the other does not. And as long as a certain amount of fastpasses are still available to the...

Completely agree. A one day WDW trip seeing only Epcot in 1988 was my first exposure to The World. Horizons, SSE, Universe of Energy, Living Seas were the things that won me over. Where else could you go to find an optimistic view of the future like that? Throw the World Showcase in and I've...

OP here. I started this thread hoping to find out from CM's and others if the rumors about FP tightening were true. Thank you, Len, for your team's efforts last week! Evidently the system continues to work just as it was designed and Disney has no problems with it. Thanks Blizz for your...

This is the reason I wanted the back posted as well. We can all try to "assume" what is meant here, but the fact is Disney is very good at the legal side of things. If their intention was that a late same day use of FP is to be considered an abuse of the system, their very excellent legal...

Yes it is an assumption. And I did read your entire post. And why, in your condescending response, didn't you post the back of the ticket, which is where the debate lies? We all know that Soarin has had queue problems from the start, which is due to its enormous popularity and extremely...

You're just assuming this to be the case. It could just as easily be that the FP language on back (and CM's are trained the way they are) because Disney knows it makes no difference in wait time whether the limited number of FP's issued for each ride is used 1 minute after the return window...

Well, I can see I started a nice little argument. As I said initially, my plan includes the use of a limited number of late FP's. My intention was and is to use them the same day. From what I gather, the potential problem is if a huge number of people show up with late FP's wanting to use them...

Actually this is exactly why I'm posting the question here. I've read elsewhere that it is official Disney policy to accept FP's anytime same day after the return window begins and that CM's are trained this way. Knowing that there are CM's actively posting here, I was hoping to get their...

Thanks for the replies so far. My original plans were to use them same day or give them to another family before leaving the park. If it's a practice that is frowned upon though, I'll revise my plans.

Long-time reader, first time poster. We're heading to WDW in two weeks. I just noticed a post on the UG's official website by Len Testa saying that it appears they are cracking down on FP's that are past their return window. He even said they were revising their touring plans to reflect this...
