Cheating the System

[goofy]

i read somewhere it is possible to cheat the fastpass system using old park tickets and tickets from other parks (DLP and DC)


Is this true??

I'm pretty sure lik 99% that it isn't. The Fast Pass system as it has been explain to me is connected with the turnstyle system so when a ticket is activated from when you walk in runs till the last day on the ticket. You might be confused with the overide we have for the fast pass machines which many people figured out so we installed keys.

FASTPASS V1 did have a cheat - were u could put in pretty much any ticket - eg Room Card, Annual Pass, DLP Tickets, Old Tickets etc...

FASTPASS v2 now checks to make sure the ticket you put into the FASTPASS machine was used on that day for admission. This makes it impossible to use other tickets in teh way that you could with V1.

there's a button on the back of the machine and if you push it sometime it'll spit out a ticket manually

I've read on a couple of newspapers that it is possible but so far I haven't figuared out how they could. Beats me!

Ha Ha yeah, I figured that out! I got a 6 fastpasses for Buzz and rode it a few times! Most of the time here's a CM there and you cna' do it.

I think that Annual Pass holders should be able to retrieve a FastPass for as many attractions as they wish at any given time. (Instead of the current 1 per amount of time.)

yeah...i think Disney Vacation Club Members should be able to do that too.

If you can catch the CM looking the other direction...its VERY easy to snag a free fastpass. Id share it with ya..but the more people that do it..the faster disney will catch on

Its not that hard to figure out anyway...

Along these lines.... Can you use old fast passes on a different trip?

My husband and I had fast passes for Test Track in December 2000. Of course, the ride broke down. The CM stamped our fast passes and told us we can use them anytime we liked, any day.
Does that mean we can still use them on our trip in September 2001? Thanks!

I don't agree...while you may think you deserve special treatment for being an annual passholder, I don't. Just as the 30 day ban at millionaire. It's not aimed at people staying a few days. Disney is looking to give all of their guests an equal opportunity to go on the rides.

Fievel,

Did I ever state that "I" was an Annual Pass holder? I used the word "they," not "I." Thank you for reading my post.

Relax man....you just made it sound like you were. I'm just saying that if you weren't why would you want to wait others to receive special priveleges? If everyone can only hold one fastpass at a time, it keeps the lines down. If annual passholders could hold as many fastpasses as they wanted, they could hold get off the ride and go right back into the fastpass return line. I find this unfair, and I don't think it's what Disney had in mind.

I agree Fievel. It doesn't seem fair that people who are fortunate enough to be able to go to Disney a lot should have another advantage over those who can go less often - I am a teacher, so while my holidays are great, I have no choice but to go at the most expensive and busiest times of the year.

DLP passes would never have worked, they are a different size and made of plastic, almost like a credit card.
