Please help and old, computer challenged person by telling me how that is done. Is it mirrors? I'll bet it's mirrors!

Who needs you people anyway...I figured it out without your help, but it isn't worth the effort so it will go into my file of unused tricks.

Give a man the trick and he'll use it once and forget it.

Let a man figure it out on his own and he'll be an HTML codin' machine!

Thanks for explaining about the fast pass runner or volunteer. It does make more sense. :)

Nope...in this case...he figured it out for himself and still used it once and forgot it. Some of us just have no future in creative cyberspace. And don't try and come across as having the wisdom of Solomon. You wouldn't help and now I have caused permanent injury to my brain cells. My eye has been twitching constantly since my grand experiment. I hope you can sleep nights, mister!

We do that within our own family, send someone with all the park tickets to the FP machine while the rest of the group does another attraction. I'm usually the FPV for my group as I know where all the attractions / shows are and their accompanying FP machines. Good exercise and it gives me some "alone time." ;)

This.

I'm often the runner simply because of my age and (ahem) athleticism when compared with my family, plus I know my way around the parks...

...and one man's dream.....can be found in DHS.

I have had that one play out so many times in my mind. My question and the first response is from a real conversation Everything above the line is real, everything below is what I have so many times wanted to do.

Me: And what time is your flight?

Them: About 4:15.

Me (looking at my watch): Well, since it's 3:15 now, you might as well wait for your time to come. I don't see how you're going to make your flight.

_______________________________

Them: What do you mean?

Me: Well, we're in Frontierland. That means it'll take you at least 20 minuntes to get out of here, Another 10 to 15 minutes on the Monorail or Ferry, 10 to 12 minutes to get to your car, 10 minutes to figure out your way to I-4, 25 minutes to the Airport... Which Airline are you flying?

Them: JetBlue

Me: Okay, so since you took 528, 4 minutes to get around the airport to the B terminal, 10 minutes to turn in your car, 5 minutes to walk to the ticket kiosk... Are you checking any bags?

Them: Two bags

Me: Okay, so 20 minutes to check in for your flight, 20 minutes to get through Security, 3 minutes to get dressed after the TSA does what they should have bought you dinner before doing to you, 7 minutes to get to your gate. Unless they're going to hold the plane for you for an extra 75 minutes...


The truly sad part is the fact that I've calculated this out.

Board X has reports of people being turned away on the fourth if they showed up well past the time posted on their fast pass. I always kind of assumed they'd enforce that if the crowds were nuts, because as someone else there pointed out, letting people in after the time is a perk, not a promise, but someone there suggested it wasn't official policy but rather officious CMs.

You should video doing this from various parts of the park. Take a day to video the walk from various parts of the park to the exit, then video ferry/monorail to TTC, simulate walk to car, bus ride times if going back to hotel, etc. It would make an interesting video series on Youtube, and useful for planning. You could become a star AND the most hated man on board x!
