Unlimited Fastpasses?

I reeeeallly hope this hasn't been posted before, and if so I'm SORRY!

But a fellow Disney friend sent me an ebay link with people selling fastpasses that apparently NEVER expire. They have them by park and by attraction. Has anybody ever heard of this? Are they legit? Have you used them?

It just seems a little funny to me that there would be so many fastpasses floating around the net that do not expire.

Thanks for the help!

Re: Unlimited Fastpasses?

Haven't heard of this before. I will do some research and talk to some of my sources.

Re: Unlimited Fastpasses?

Pretty sure its a scam. I just can't imagine Disney putting out unlimited fastpasses without some kind of announcement first.

Re: Unlimited Fastpasses?

I just found this out on my last trip, but you can use fastpasses anytime after the opening time of the window. So even if the window says 2-3, you can use it anytime after 3 as well.

Maybe this person thinks you can also use them days/weeks/months later? I can't imagine that being the case.

Re: Unlimited Fastpasses?

after looking at whats on Ebay, many of these fastpasses, are the passes handed out when an attraction is not running. They do not have a window of time rather a date they are good too.

These are being sold as "Collectors" items, and you are actually bidding a pin, and it just happens to come with 18 fast passes for $300. Sounds like an "inside" connection to me.

Re: Unlimited Fastpasses?

There are also the rider-switch passes that they give you when you switch off. Many people get them and then don't use them. You technically need another fast pass as well, but it is seldom enforced. If disney thinks it is a problem, then it will go away like the free Cinderella's reservations.

Usually these allow up to 3 or 4 people to ride again.
I have noticed Disney is not using the larger colored passes as much. Now many look like the fast pass.

Re: Unlimited Fastpasses?

People are trying to sell "rider switch" passes and "attraction re-entry" park passes (like if you are sitting on Splash Mountain and it breaks down they give you these), do NOT buy these on eBay. They are NOT for sale purposes, and non-transferable. I am not usually such a rule stickler but a cast member caught selling these on eBay, or anyone for that matter, could potentially get in trouble. You don't want to subject yourself to any questioning. Just don't do it!

I definatly agree!!! That is why they are usually not "selling them" but sending them along with somethin else - like a pin or a grab bag.

It's not worth it!
