This is a great idea! Since we are the kind of people to leave in the middle of the day for a nap/dip in the pool, we can do it mid-day plus at the end of our day (small kids really complicate going to Disney). http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/for.../rolleyes4.gif
That is such a kind idea.....very 'Disney!'
Last year I got some free child tickets for our local theme park through school. I went with bf and his 3 kids, but we had a spare ticket. I gave it to the woman in the queue in front of me and she was so pleased! We kept seeing her round the park all day and she kept saying thanks!
Such a great idea... I have done it once or twice because I decided to leave the park early for one reason or another and had a fast pass that I wan't going to use but to actualy do it on purpose ...just WOW !!!:hurray: I promise to do it next time I'm in WDW :)
I'm not really sure if this tradition isn't carried on over on the west coast, but we wound up doing this on multiple occassions in Disneyland on our July trip. We booked with AAA, so we had the "Enhanced" Fastpass option, in which you can get a Fastpass for every attraction that has it at one time; you don't have to wait for the time window in order to get the next one. Needless to say, we wound up with tons of Fastpasses that we weren't able to use, so we passed them on to a number of people. Each time we did, the people always looked at us like this was some amazing idea that no one had ever thought of, other people looked at us suspiciously as if we were giving them fake passes, and still other just didn't understand what we were trying to do. We were certainly happy to give out Fastpasses to people, but there doesn't seem to be the same trend for Paying it Forward out at Disneyland and California Adventure.
Thanks for that wonderful idea....we're going to WDW in September, and we will be sure to do this. Our trip is without the kids, so we will be doing alot of park hopping! :mickeykid
This is just another reason why Disney is so magical.... the fans themselves are magical people. I really don't think, in any other fandom, that you see such kindness and generosity and just plain thoughtfulness...
I wish I could... but I tried and no one would take them... Me being a teen and all... They thought I was trying to trick them... Hey! I don't like doing that kind of stuff!
that sounds really cool, i guess theyre giving away passes now, i hope you guys win one!!!have you seen any contest stuff???i heard someone is going to win soon????!!!!!
We thought it was great until we tried to give ours to a family near Splash Mountain and they looked at my wife as if she was pushing crack. Sometimes you cannot please everyone:(
AHAHAHAHAHA That made me laugh pretty hard.Quote:

I have given out Fastpasses that have been "expired" often, although I'm not really sure what you mean. As long as the Fastpass is from the same day as when you are in the park, the CM's should accept it at the attraction, even after the time slot has already passed.Quote:

On a previous holiday in Las Vegas a young couple as they were leaving the Circus Circus arcade gave my daughter a stuffed animal toy and my son a few quarters. Do unto others...
Accually, i was walking toward tommorrowland last time i was at disney, and this guy walked up to me and gave me like 30 fast pass tickets for any ride, i was like wow, me and my brother rode space mountain like 12 times, we had about 12 left over and gave them to a family, they were excited, so thats was really cool
great idea... that was also a really good movie
What a wonderful way to share the magic. I will try to remember this on turkey day when we go back!
