Stupid Guest Tricks

Another dumb stunt guests sometimes try to pull (or maybe my brother is the only one) is using not valid fastpasses to get in the fastpass line. For example, they might have one valid fastpass, put an "invalid" one under it, and it looks enough like two fastpasses to get by, sometimes my brother used a day old fastpass to pass as a valid one, since most CMs look at the time, not the date on the fastpasses. The worst, obviously, is to put an "invalid" fastpass under a day-old fastpass and get by with that. Has anyone here ever encountered this problem?

i'm sure it happens all the time, it's ok, tho it'll come back and kick him in the butt later when the fastpass wait is even with the standby queue, because he and every other "clever" little fuck, (no offense intended there, i just like calling people that) are "cheating the system" which of course is turning right around and cheating them, and all the innocent people right back.

I've had people do that many times when I worked return. Espically the using the one valid and a stack of invalid fastpassed under them. I've never really checked the dates because the fastpasses at WDW are much smaller than thoses at DLR. I cannot believe the gall of some of the guests though because they will actually get pissed off and demand to talk to a manager. I'm thinking look, you tried to pull some shit and now you actually think you can talk your way out of this. :bang: Although for the record 99% of the time the managers don't let them in.

Am I correct in the fact that late (within the same day) fastpass is allowed?

yes, however greatly frowned upon, of course that's less the case now then it was when fastpass was new, now we're just kinda like whatever, go ahead, but most people have already beat the crap out of themselves over the fact that they're late, so it's not as huge an issue.

Ive done that before but it was because i was with my friend and we both had fastpasses and we found one on the floor that was for like 12:00 pm and it was like 7. And so thats 3 and we had 4 people, so i luckly had a fastpass from the day before that i didnt use so we slipped that under and went on splash. I just couldnt leave my daddy out.

at indy it's pretty much standard that if the group is more than four, and one person is missing thier fast pass, the validator, and the merger will let them in. However that's not how everyone does it, so don't start thinking that's an entitlement, techinically we're not supposed to do that at all otherwise it does affect operation.

The worst I've ever done is grab a fastpass and return hours after the posted window. I wish the parks would place central kiosks that allow the guests to choose ANY fastpass attraction rather than hiking your bum from ride to ride, some of which may be on the opposite side of the park.

where would we put it, so that i t wouldn't be incredably tacky looking, and i don't know about you, but most of our guests are too stupid to figure out that they don't all distribute to the same place, and would become upset by the fact that they had one of each attraction for ten different times. either that they'd get them, and then not be able to find the atrraction, where as the way we have it going now, you have to go to the attraction, and therefore know where it is, and then leave it, therefore becoming familiar with the area, and drawing them further into the park. and in order to keep it running A someone would have to leave the attraction to fix their machine, or Fastpass would have to re-open as an attraction, which could be cool, unless they land locked it like everything else. It's pretty well done as is.

It's fine the way it is now, with the distribution center being at the attraction location. My only complaint with FastPass is the issue with utilization ratios. Those need to be lowered WAY down.
