Bonus Fast Passes......

[HatboxGhost]

Hi everyone.......I know this is most likely old news but has anyone gotten a bonus FP with their original one? Last year, my wife and I were getting two for Peter Pan and a bonus Winnie the Pooh popped out for each of us. Call me crazy but I felt like I just one a million dollars. It was so unexpected and surprised the hell out of me. Its those little surprises that put a smile on my face.

Yeah, but it was for Philharmagic when getting Peter Pan FP's.

Yes, I got Winnie the Pooh ones too and it was kind of funny because we had gone for Peter Pan Fastpasses after a discussion about how we were running out of time and had to decide between Pooh and Pan since we still had dinner ADRs. We ended up being able to do both, Pooh before dinner and Pan afterwards. The pooh FP window began 20 minutes after we got them so it was pretty great timing.

We chalked it up to Walt overhearing our discussion and rigging the FP machine from beyond.

I get free FastPasses in the mail almost every week that have an openended date and time on them.

On our Feb trip this year we went to get FP for Little Mermaid and ended up getting bonus fast pass for Dumbo, it was great because the line was 40 min for Dumbo and it is a must ride every trip for the past 35 years. My first trip to Disney in 77 I made my older sister who was 16 at the time stand inline with me for a hour because I wanted to ride Dumbo. That is what started all my craziness for Disney.

We went to get FPs for Winnie the Pooh and got surprise passes to Philharmagic. We kept one as a souvenir and chucked the others in the trash. How is it even possible for that to have FP? It's a video lol

The only surprise one I ever get is Philharmagic when I'm getting a Pooh one.

(But I never get PP FPs. I am not a big PP fan. Once a year is enough for me. )

 

[MightyMouse]

Ours was the other way. We got bonus Pooh passes while obtaining Philharmagic passes. (Not that we needed it cause it was a walk-on but still.... )

 

[ShookieJones]

Yeah the first year we went as a family we got a Mission Space FP when we were getting our TT FPs.
I totally forgot about that but we were watching our first year video this morning and I mentioned it on camera as we were walking up to MS like we were big winners..hehehe....

I got one for Screamin' with my Racers FP

How neat! Who knew the Mouse did this?

They'll generally throw in a FP for high-capacity attractions that don't generally hit their full potential during busy periods. It's a method of crowd dispersal.

Got some Dumbo fastpasses when getting Winnie The Pooh FP, not once, but twice! and we got Phillarmagic fastpasses when getting Peter Pan FP.

I'd love to get some Aerosmith FPs while getting ToT or vice versa. Or Big Thunder while getting Splash.

Yeah.. It's a method for crowd control more than anything, not really just for "goodwill" towards guests. They've been doing it for quite awhile. I've gotten some pretty worthless ones (like a FP for Philharmagic...I mean who needs that??) and some good ones (Dumbo/Pooh). It can be a nice surprise for guests though even if the reason for it isn't just Disney being nice.

When I was at Disneyland in 2008, I was one of the first on Splash that morning and ended up getting a card for 6 people to go on Big Thunder

 

[GeoDonJac34]

How neat! Who knew the Mouse did this?

Not me. In all of the years I have gone I have never heard of this. Maybe because we go in the Fall they do not need to do any crowd control.

THAT would be awesome but so not likely!

 

[Soarin2u]

Never had that happen. Still sounds amazing! I have gotten "bonus FPs" from other kind guest who didn't or couldn't use them We got 6 or 4 for ToT, 2 for TM and, a few for Buzz and, another few for Everest I believe! So if that counts as bonus than I've gotten a few!

I didn't! This is interesting, and I will certainly be looking out for this whenever I next visit
