Disney Scanning Fastpasses

[iellis14]

Why is Walt Disney World now scannig Fast passes?

 

[kcnole]

My guess is it would be due to rampant abuse of the system. People can't easily come in with fastpasses from days, weeks, or even months earlier any longer.

For the same reason why they used the FLICK system...
Actually, it's still some sort of a FLICK system, but without the red card...

FINALLY! Disney does something smart!

:sohappy: This will put a damper on some e-bay fastpass sales. :sohappy:

 

[the-reason14]

So, when did this start?

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

Uhhhh, not sure when/where this is being done, but it certainly was not being done at Epcot or DHS when I was there on Saturday (Nov. 29). Could someone help me out here? Did I miss something? :veryconfu

You make it sound like people had inch or two thick stacks of fastpasses and readmits in their pockets...... :lookaroun

Exactly as others have said, it is to attempt to stop fraud, the new tickets have bar codes with with tell the cast member if the pass has already expired.

lol, I did. :lookaroun:lookaroun Nah, jk. But lets just say I did things with fp that I know I shouldnt have, my dad often teases me saying that all these changes are because of things I did.

But on the real, can anyone really confirm this? Is this like a late or early April fools joke or something?

 

[Roxas]

I would guess this will only be implemented seriously during times of heavy traffic anyway.

Wouldn't that actually slow the process down though?

 

[hardcard]

does this mean they are acutally enforcing the fast pass window of time as well? if so.. it's about damn time... Peter Pan might actually be rideable now..


Gonna check this out soon..

 

[imamouse]

Are the scanners validating the beginning return time or the entire return window?

 

[hardcard]

I haven't seen it in person yet, and this is the only place I've seen it reported so far.. (haven't looked really though) I'll check it out myself soon..


if it is true though..... YAY!!

 

[DisneyBoi1215]

What park/attraction(s) was this occurring at? Curious minds would like to know!

Whatcha you talkin' bout' Corrus?
*laugh track*

FLIK machines and the red FLIK cards are still very much in use.
:shrug:

Amazing that PPF which is 30+ Y/O and still needs FP just to ride it without waiting 2 hours in standby. (I personally love PPF with or without the foil volcano treatment)

Word! Corrus what the *@$&?

 

[Tinkrbell]

They weren't scanning fastpasses at the Safaris, Soarin, or Space Mountain today. They weren't scanning fastpasses at DHS yesterday. What rides are they doing this at?

 

[Brian Noble]

They don't need to scan the FPs to change the de-facto policy of allowing late same-day returns. They could just change the policy.

It seems more likely that this is just a data-collection effort, tracking fastpass redemption.
