Multiple Fast Passes

[Buried20KLeague]

Each ticket is linked to the first person who uses it with their finger.

I believe that is the company line, but is not truly accurate.

No names (unless AP/FR) but once used the tickets , not credit card used to buy them, are linked to the individual. OP has not indicated how he plans to get the family in since 1. He has all the tickets and 2. The tickets are now all linked to him and will not scan for the family members.

Becky, The plan (theoretically) was for me to get an early start, grab Fast Passes for all, and head back to the resort, returning later with actice FP's. I did open up several cans of worms here, and it's all pretty fascinating!

Thanks to everyone for their input.

What a horrrible thread. I thought FastPasses were for guests already in the park, not back in their beds. This is almost as bad as the whole xpass thread. Stop. Just stop.

Think about it - what difference does it make whether 5 people:

1. Get out of bed, get their FastPasses at 9:15 AM, and then go back to bed for another three hours, and return to the park later in the day, or
2. Get out of bed, get their FastPasses at 9:15 AM, and then stay in the park (or hop to another park), or
3. Stay in bed while a representative from their family goes to the park to get their FastPasses at 9:15 AM?

If anything, sending a representative will decrease crowd congestion during the hours that the rest of them sleep in. In each scenario, all 5 people will be using their FastPasses after their time window opens later that afternoon, whether they enter the park in the morning or not, so the attraction wait time won't be affected even if one person is allowed to retrieve all FastPasses.

So do we really prefer that those extra people enter and stay in the park, clogging up other standby lines, shops, restaurants, streets, etc.? :shrug:

Tell you what... I'll stop posting in this "horrible thread" if you fix your horrible location on your profile (which messes up the browser window size for the entire page of posts) for everyone viewing the thread.

Or....

You could just not insert yourself into what has been a completely civil discussion that everyone here freely admits is hypothetical and just interesting to talk about.

Or just continue to complain. Whichever you think is best.

You forgot the fourth option.

4. Get out of bed, get their FastPasses at 9:15 AM, and then take a nap on a park bench for another three hours, and wake up in time to use the fast pass.​

Ah, yes, indeed. We can't forget about sacrificing available bench space and creating an "occupy Disney" look to the atmosphere. I'm sure we would all prefer that...

From experience, we purchased 16 tickets all using one CC. When we received the tickets, we wrote the names on the back of them. Once we entered the parks a few times, the names wore off. One member in our group lost her ticket. The GR Cm was able to determine which card belonged to which member of our group.
Also, my husband and I some how ended up swapping cards and the biometrics stopped him from entering until I put my finger on it and I went thru the gate.
Also, with our large group, the CM's at the FP machines would rarely give us the amount of tickets we needed. If and when they did it, they had to insert a key card into the machine and press the button.

Good info. Unkadug, you say you've had the complete opposite experience?

Sounds good.

I believe that is the company line, but is not truly accurate.

I would say it is 90% accurate. I have seen many people of the same family have their ticket mixed up with who's was who's. Until the cast member sorted out who's ticket was who's they didn't get in. It was the ticket tag to each ticket that they couldn't use each others ticket. Not based on who buys the ticket but who uses the tickets.
