A few months ago, i went to disney world with my school's show choir for showstoppers at Epcot. We got 3 day park hoppers to go wherever we wanted, when we had free time. My friend and I wanted to get in as much as we could, so on the first day, we went to animal kingdom. I wanted to ride Everest because i hadn't been to AK since i was a kid.
We went rushing around and we got a LOT of rides in, but the first thing we did was get a fast pass for everest, because i knew it was going to be a long wait, and we didn't have much time. It was REALLY hot, so we were sitting under the covering by the fast passes, and we made friends with one of the cast members watching the fast pass area.
We had to go soon, but our fast passes weren't for another half our. We tried to shmooze our way in but the man at the FP entrance WOULD NOT ALLOW IT so, whatever, we had nothing else to do so we sat there, waiting for time to pass. The guy we made friends with came up to us and asked us what was wrong, and we said we were bummed cuz we were in a bit of a hurry and had to wait to get in, and he gave us a couple fast passes to get in right away, and let us keep our other ones.
So, my Tl;dr summary, We got to ride Expidition everest two times in a row, all within about 15 minutes because we made friends with an awesome, nice, cool fast pass cast member!
i don't remember his name, but he was super!
it pays to make friends at WDW!
