    Problem is... most guests and some CM's on duty at the turstyles can't count. Then what are we supposed to do when we get stuff behind such types???

    we just returned from a weekend getaway to wdw , and there seems to be a CM directive to tell everyone "Two Fingers People" if I didnt hear that dozens of times..... I did notice that for the real real dumb ones "Guests" not CM's they can key in a code and get you thru... that code is for dumb and dumber... lol...

    Uh oh. What's the ingredient? I use a Purell-like product after cleaning up after my pooch in public and before eating if I can't wash my hands.

    Boy, you sure wouldn't want to use the finger scan after me, lol. Just kidding ;-)

    As for the Purell ingredient.. it's the unpronounceable one!

    The above mentioned web site shows that even Irish Spring bar soap and Head & Shoulders shampoo have even a higher risk. Zest soap and Pampers baby wipes also have a moderate risk.

    Looks like a lot of products have similar or even HIGHER risk than Purell.

    Tall, don't knock the Pampers until you try them. Of course, it never hurts to be Zestfully clean....

    My poor DH is in a mtg all day but coming to MK at night. Can I "activate" his pass in the morning so I can grab him FP for the evening? I'm not seeing this as an option unless I take his fingers with me? But how else would he get a FP to Splash Mtn (and ride with us) if they're gone by mid afternoon?

    And since I'm already intruding, I'll ask this too ... what do resort guests show to get free parking? Because I'll have the "key" and he'll have the car.

    Thanks so much!

As far as I know the Fast Pass machines are not looking to see if the pass has been activated or not. The Fast Pass machines are definately NOT doing bioscans.

    I think you have to show a room key in order to get the free parking. If you each have a room key then he should be all set. You can always call the resort you will be staying at and ask them what the procedure is.

    However there is no way you can get him a fastpass without his ticket being activated. Only he can activate it with entry.

    I do know though, that you can not get a fastpass without the ticket being activated for the day.

It wouldn't work for admission to the park, but worked in the fastpass machines. I don't know if you will run into this same problem at WDW if he has not actually entered the park, but I would imagine that the systems are the same. If so you may be able to explain the situation to the attendant and see if they can help you.

    I'm not sure the FP would do your husband any good. Any fast pass you get in the morning would have a time window that expired long before the evening.

    I've heard that sometimes CM will let you in the FP line anytime after the start of the window and not worry about the expiration. I don't know if you could count on that though. You might want to find someone who has tried it and ask what their experience was.
