It looks as though some tweaking may be underway with FASTPASS, initially at Epcot. Next week there are plans to modify the system to significantly reduce the time before a second FASTPASS can be obtained (with the exception of a second FASTPASS to the same attraction). This is only a trial, and may or may not become a permanent change.
That would be so awesome! We use FP all the time and getting a second one sooner would great.

Re: Fastpass question

We tried to get two FP at AK within minutes of each other and couldn't get the second one (for a different ride). We just explained to the CM what our schedule was and he said, "I can help you with that" and he opened the FP machine and gave us a FP. We were very grateful!!

Re: Fastpass question

Another reason to be nice to CM's is that they carry blank FP that they can fill out for a particular ride. On DS' birthday, a CM whipped out a memo pad and wrote a FP for our entire family to Buzz' Spin.

Re: Fastpass question

If I made each of us a special button or tag that said "First Time at Disney - YIPPEE!" they'd notice? Perhaps that would merit special perks! Wishful thinking, right?

We went back to AK for the second time, specifically to do the river rapids and the safari. We got a FP for the rapids and headed to the safari which was also a long line. When we explained the situation to the CM and told him we were hoping to take in both rides before heading out he was very accomodating! (As it turned out, the river rapids ride was down and never ran again that day.)
