We start collecting tickets as soon as we get in the park, last May (during the start of the 50th, park was full) we got a Indy ticket first thing, the time allowed for next ticket was only 20 mins later, 20 mins later we then got Splash tickets and time allowed there was an additional 1/2 hour, 1/2 hour later we then got tickets to Runaway Train (I think). We rode all those rides first thing and just walked on the rides without using fast passes we saved fastpasses for afternoon. By the end of each day we had leftover fastpasses that we didn't use and gave away. Save the money that you would spend on enhanced fastpasses and use it for something else

Originally Posted By quincytoo Joeysmommy That way works so well, really and truly. We did the enhanced FP on year and Lpers then got us onto how to work the system. We never went back to Enhanced FP...the money was not worth it. You truly can get just as many if you start first thing in the morning by the afternoon you will have more then enough We tend go pick the busiest times (50th, Candlelight procession, etc etc) throughout the year....(must be karma for pulling our children out of school.. and with the FP system descibed we are never waiting in much a line up at all... <---I do NOT do line-ups well at all
Originally Posted By joeysmommy quincytoo- I don't do lines well either, maybe that's why my kids don't them. Do you send one person as the runner to collect the FP's? I'm afraid I'm going to be stuck in Fantasyland for most of the morning. Maybe I can send my niece to get our Indy and Splash Mountain FP's when we first get there. We will have enhanced FP's this time. So we could hold a FP for every ride at one time and then get more before their start time? ALso, can you work in Baby Swap somehow? Or am I just being a ride hog? I haven't been to the parks since 1999. So FP is new for me, so is DCA!

I try to do Fantasyland first thing in the morning..I am a sucker for Peter Pan and Mr.Toad.. Since 1999?? OMG You are going to have SO MUCH FUN!!!! How old are your little ones and when are you going??
