Stupid Guest Tricks

And a wallaby will always be a little bit different from a kangaroo, both in size and shape.

Do you also know that wallabys are very rare, especially in gif form?

I have been looking, but wasn't really satisfied with the wallaby smilies I'd found. But now that you've asked, I've put up the best I've found yet:

I hope you're satisfied!

I think it's awesome. When we finally meet up, you will understand how that wallaby sums me up quite well... too bad he's not wearing purple pants, but I am certainly not complaining.

The term "Smilemeister" fits yet again, and this wallaby bows to the great Zazu:

Sorry for bumping up an old thread, but I wanted to comment on how great a CM was at Space Mountain during our March trip with a FP.

I don't like that ride (I know, I'm a whimp) but my hubby had gotten a FP that was good for like 9:30 pm. Normally we stay until park closing, so it wouldn't be a big deal, but I ended up getting an upset tummy and we had to leave. By the time we got back to that area of the park the next day, the FP return time was already 4:30 and we were flying out so we would be gone by then. I explained the situation to the attendent outside and he quickly exchanged the old fastpass for one that was able to be used right away and gave me one to wait in the line with hubby even though I wasn't going to ride.

Once again, service above and beyond (is there any other at DL?)

Whoever that was, thanks!!!! It made my hubby's day!

Since I came accross a thread on a fan site about this I thought I would bring it up again. heres whats on ebay. whats up with this?

How do you think they got those passes?

Thats what I would like to know. Some of these people say they are left over from vacation, which i can ubderstand. But some are not regular FP's so I wonder how they got so many of them.

Possibly from the printer source? or someone "picked up" a few extra from a stack?

I'll bet that's it.

Actually Churchy we let them in as long as the window has started. We take late, but not early fastpasses. Once the day has ended though we stop taking them. There is no retribution for taking fastpasses, the managers tell us that. Counterfeit, if it's obvious then you could get a slap on the wrist. Most of the time we will deny it, confiscate it, and give it to a manager, they in turn will analyze it with the FP people and go about seeing how they created it. But we don't throw people out of the park for it since it is technically a "free" service. Soarin' will let people in as long as the window has started, although once evening EMH starts all FPs are invalidated. They use the singles line as a standby switchback, and FP is only used for rider swaps. Sometimes if it is really crowded they will use FP as a switch back as well and backdoor people into B-side for rider swaps. As long as Soarin's queue may seem it is actually small for such a high capacity attraction. Standby only it can hold only 30 minutes worth of line. The line is much shorter on normal days but it is probably quadrupled in wait time due to Fastpass.
Once we switched over to 2nd Generation Fastpasses a lot of people tried to counterfeit the 1st generation and that was obvious to CM's. The paper was shorter and thinner and their were no barcodes on the sides.

Sorry to bump this one so late, but I just found one "auction" (really, a Buy It Now) that made me want to vomit.

At least one individual was selling 25 so-called VIP FastPasses for almost $400.00. Now, this is nothing new. But, the seller went so far as to describe what counterfeit FPs look like and tried to convince bidders that these were the real thing!

Now, I went to WDW three weeks ago, and I know nothing of VIP FastPasses. All the FPs I saw had barcodes on them. They looked significantly different from what this person was hawking.

I suppose it's just my fraud detection clicking in - that's something I'm very experienced in. Is there ANY such thing as "VIP FastPasses?"

Nevertheless, who would want to be the family turned away with fake FPs, or who would want to be the CM to have to explain to that family that these are fake?
