Or an Attraction CM with access to the daily Re-Ad stacks..
Hopefully he will be terminated, as he was stupid enough to post a phone number....I would buy the FP's just to get this scam artist off the midways :fork:

FPs are now printed with bar codes and the date is printed larger than before.

Yeah, but it's a cell phone.

Wow, lol, what people wont do. I already have my own special ways of utilizing the fp system to its full potential and even figured out some new ways this past trip just this month. So I pretty much got it down.

Wouldn't work because of the time you must wait between getting tickets and the seller claims all tickets will be delivered early in the morning for all attractions. Besides it would require all the AP owners be present at the park.
It's definitely a CM trying to make an extra buck.

What this person is doing is illegal. He's stealing from WDW and then trafficking stolen FPs.
This can only be done by a CM, or more likely....someone who has an "in" with CMs. A few buddies can dump out a pile of FPs when they clock in, and hand them off to their pal with an AP, who then sells them to gullible families and guests. They split the loot.
I'm not sure how this sort of sting operation could be going on right inside the parks. Unless managers are involved, it's hard to miss some tool holding the button and spitting out 20 FPs at each ride in the park. Or maybe they're just that good!

Someone will rat them out. There has to be people who know their cell phone number.

Yes, and just last year or maybe 2007 I think, they had upgraded them to have barcodes and the day and date. Now they are wider with I think the day, date, and year and a bar code.

Our family likes the fastpass system and regularly uses it. But, I can't see PAYING for the passes. Really, someone thinks it's worth it to pay for these, especially since they are probably illegal. I just don't get it. I don't easily part with my money, especially since I have more time than money...
My question about these fastpasses is are they unlimited in their time frame of use? I know there have been discussions about using these during the designated time, versus using them after. If all of the fastpasses are obtained right away in the morning, then delivered, wouldn't the user have to use all of them in a quick period of time in the morning or early afternoon? We've gotten fastpasses when the park opens and have had 10:00 times of use. If that's the case with all of the passes, they would need to be used in quick succession (theoretically). Just wondering if that would be the case. :shrug:

Generally, except when it's really busy, they'll let you use an FP any time after its start time for the rest of the day. They don't 'advertise' this information and if the entry CM refuses your FP after the window, you have no recourse. But it happens.
Disney knows that people get caught up in other things, a ride has a posted wait time of 20 minutes, but ends up being an hour, a meal reservation coincides with your FP window, etc... They don't want you upset just because you missed your window doing something else.
... It's a sad commentary on society when scalpers can sell Hannah Montana tickets at a higher price then tickets to witness a true piece of history... That is if these numbers are correct...
