How about from a different Disney Park?? A Cm friend told me that they went to WDW on vacation. On the day that they were leaving, before their flight, they went into MK, grabbed a FP for Peter Pan, and went home. When they arrived home, they went in to DL, and showed the Peter Pan FP at Peter Pan to see if they accepted it. Not sure what happened after that, but that was funny.

I'm pretty sure there is no fast pass for Peter Pan at DLR. But it is a funny story.

There is not, but it will be funny if a person shows up and presents it to a CM, lol, :lol:

I so totally want to bring one of my single rider passes to Soarin' here in FL to see what they would do. Haven't had the guts yet tho'.

If I were presented with a FP for the opposite coast, I'd probably honor it, at least if the date was somewhat close (within 2 or 3 days), just for the novelty factor.

I've always wondered if my re-entry passes from Test Track would still be accepted... I have one yellow re-entry ticket good for "Guest and their party", and about 10 purple re-entry passes good for one Guest each. None of them have expiration dates, and the purple ones even say "Valid Any Day".

The yellow one was given to me when the ride went 101 just as we boarded, and the purple ones were from a CM at the post-show GM info desk that I'd met the year before when he was still working the attraction itself. He remembered me and gave me a huge handfull of the passes.

They're quite old. I just dug them out of my junk drawer, and the purple ones have the Millennium Celebration "2000" logo on them. :eek: They both most likely pre-date FastPass...

I was at Greeter a while ago, and had a Guest try to present a re-add with this particular logo on it...

Yes, that's right, she was trying to use a Re-Add Ticket from 8 years ago, based on the date :eek: . (DLR hasn't used that logo in years - promotes DCA and the whole "Resort" concept way too much :p :)

It was old enough that the issuing Attraction (which I think was Superstar Limo! over at DCA, based off the extension) no longer exists.

:rolleyes:

We didn't let her on, of course, but, in retrospect, we probably should've, just based on the brazen nature of her attempt, lol :D: .

I would love to see someone bring a FP from the Magic Kingdon's Peter Pan attraction. Disneyland's Peter Pan attraction is closed for a while. :(
