Fast Pass when I don’t have one
Fast Pass is little more than permission from Disney World to cut in front of others just because you’re staying in one of their resorts.
But it’s not like you can go around the park and stock up on Fast Passes for the rest of the day. Once you have Fast Pass for one ride, you have to wait an hour or two before you can have another one.
If you want to ride something else in the meantime, prepare to wait in the standby line with the rest of the folks who didn’t spend a small fortune to stay at the resort.
Lol. We went to Disneyworld in August 2008. There were no crowds at all and we were able to get on rides with little or no wait. Didn’t even use our fast passes. Of course, tropical storm Fay camped over the park for the entire time we were there. Inches of rain each day. And Disney is a crafty business–refunds are based on closing the park so they kept the park open. Closed all the rides, but the park and gift shops remained open the whole time. Still it was one of the most magical times in our family’s memory book. And we got over our colds before school started.
Congratulations on your new job. I plan on taking my litlte one to Disney World when he is old enough to appreciate it. As a first time mom I tend to jump the gun a bit (he has been to see A Lion King already he was 11 months old at the time) but I think exposure is important.Anyhow, I am here by way of Literal Dan and I will be sure to stop by again soon.
PS–thanks Janet and Kay for sharing this post with me. Brings back the memories!
When I was six, my Dad decided to pack us up in his new pea green chevy imlpaa and drive to Disney. It was hot and cramped but my parents were happy that they were able to provide the All American family vacation to my sister and I. Thirty-something years later, I can’t wrap my head around the whole Disney thing. Lucky for me, my sons (10 & 11) haven’t really pushed the issue, either. Hopefully they’ll continue to believe that beach vacations is all that I can afford! I love beaches and hate Disney. So instead I live vicariously and begrudginly through my Disney friends. Glad you had a good time, Keith, at least 50% of the time. Congrats on the documentary. You’re like the only celebrity I know cool. Looking forward to reading about the new gig.Yas
