good point.
can you imagine them in a break room a a week or so, talking about some guests had fastpasses for pan?
The story could become legendary!!

Mind if I throw in my two cents worth?
This is one of those things that can easily ether be a great joke, or a pain in the butt. Of course, even the greatest bit of comedy can end up falling flat depending on both the timing of the joke as well as the audience. In this case, the timing and, likely, the mood of the audience was against you. Still, like others have said, when the CMs have had some time to rest up, they might just go "Say...those FastPasses...."

Regardless of the outcome, this was a brilliant idea!

I know someone who did that with Honey I Shrunk the Audience, same response.
I guess the trick is too hard to do since by the time you can attempt it with valid FPs the CMs are too tired to go for a joke.

Tried the same thing with both Jungle Cruise and Soarin FP's from the East Coast during my last visit to the West Coast. Unfortunately, due to flight schedules, there was no way to get same-day FPs. A few of the Jungle CMs chuckled, not much of a reaction from the Soarin folks.
