one really is not safe of anything anymore. people do ANYTHING to not stand in line. a cm came up to me the other day and handed me one of the re-ad's with the blue top and the serial number on the bottom, the one where we don't put the date and initial. he asked me to have a good long look at it and tell me what's wrong with it.
it turnes out, that one was homeprinted. clear colordistinction on the top, serial number on the bottom too small and the paper too thin.
am i just now coming acrossed this? has anyone else seen fake re-ad's? i mean we all know about homeprinted childswitchpasses, but now re-ad's?
once space mountain brought over a colored piece of paper that had nice graphics and had something like "happy birthday you get to go to the front of the line for one ride" printed on it. PUH-LEASE!!!!! do they think we are that stupid. i had the pleasure for saying " happy birthday your beeing thrown out of the park for cheating!"
but ya, anyone come acrossed more fake stuff?

I've never had one personally, but I was told that for awhile a couple years ago we had problems with scalpers selling fake tickets that were almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The only way they knew they were fake was that the stock numbers on the front belonged to media that had never been printed.

Back when I was in attractions, I came across a fake Special Assistance Pass. No other cast member but I would take the SAP and check the date, etc. Apparently, this guest had printed an SAP that looked identical to the ones printed on our BOCA. Complete with the black stripe on the back filled in with Sharpie. The only way I could tell was by feeling the pass and checking the date, which was valid for a month! I took the SAP from the guest, and back-doored him on the attraction. I sent them to Guest Relations to get a “real” SAP.

I saw this same guest 3 days ago in City Hall. One of my fellow Cast-Members issued him a SAP with no questions, not even asking his name. Upon further inquiry, my fellow CM informed me that this guest had printed “fake” SAP’s in the past.

^ Wait a minute, you're saying that because this guy printed fake Special Assistance Passes in the past, he can now get a free pass whenever he wants, no questions asked?

That doesn't exactly seem right. Sure, he deserves something for printing those fake passes, he deserves to be escorted out of the park each and every time he tries it. :D

I've caught people with fake fastpasses before. The guests had saved them from a previous trip, scanned them into their computer, and changed the dates on them. The paper was really thin, not like our fastpass paper. They had printed them on computer paper so they were very flimsy. The guests had these printed for literally every attraction that had fastpass.

I don't knoe if this counts, but my best friend almost got in trouble once because someone changed a nsa for backdoor admission to any attraction into dinner for two at the blue bayou. unfortunatly they got their dinner, but at least my friend got cleared of the charge.
