So yesterday while in line for Radiator Springs Racers, one of the CM's was telling the folks just in front of us that starting in January, you'll have to come during the exact times on your Fast Pass to all the rides in the park. Can this be validated by anyone?
Rumors have been swirling about this for a long time--I think it's inevitable that they start enforcing them at some point. Since so many people don't adhere to the return times, the FP system just isn't very efficient anymore. I'd like to see them give a larger window (maybe 2 hours?) because unexpected things do pop up that make it difficult to return at the exact right time, especially for families. - Spoonful_O_Sugar  436.1 #285 11-20-12 9:53AM Like(2)  Reply

This was my first time hearing it yesterday, and I think it's great! The Fast Pass return for RSR was almost an hour yesterday. - DisneyDavidEMT  451.5 #273 11-20-12 9:46AM

the fast pass program holds a virtual spot spot for you. they set aside a % of the ride capacity for the day as fasspasses and by hour so as they as being giving out the time slots push back until they are giving out for the day.the only exception is if a ride goes down then they allow to return at a later time.but if you dont follow your window then you create a longer wait time for both the standby line and fasspass.so please whenever possible always try to go on your selected time slot.have fun at the parks.=> - pikarich  609.2 #178 11-20-12 9:19AM Like  Reply
wdw is first in super enforcing,we are follwing suit just now - pikarich  609.2 #178 11-20-12 9:20AM
We have always obeyed the times. (Sometimes we are a few minutes early.) Just works better for us!) - PeachKay  310.6 #556 11-20-12 9:23AM
I agree 100%. Just wondering if its true they are gonna start enforcement of that rule. Seems it would make the Fast pass rushes slow down a bit. - DisneyDavidEMT  451.5 #273 11-20-12 9:24AM
^^^ thank you => - pikarich  609.2 #178 11-20-12 9:24AM
there where times during halloween that the fast pass return line was as far as the first ramp going up because some people would not follow their alloted times,but keep in mind space goes down a few times but now to make the line as long - pikarich  609.2 #178 11-20-12 9:27AM
i cannot confirm, but after returning from WDW i will admit i now think this is a good idea. It made the fast pass line non existent and therefore the regular line was also shorter. - Pixarprincess  531.4 #215 11-20-12 9:33AM Like  Reply
My question is how will they deal with the inevitable problem of racers being down during the one hour window of my fast pass? I know this isn't a problem on most other rides but just wondering - montanadj  53.4 #3683 11-20-12 10:40AM Like  Reply
When I worked in attractions the policy was if the ride is down for more than 30 minutes we would honor all fastpasses that had expired in that time. We didn't take any early (say it was 5pm and your fastpass was for 6pm. Nice try jack!) but if they were from earlier in the day they were honored. - lostgirl7988  541.3 #208 11-20-12 12:48PM

I heard in an older post that some rides were already enforcing it certain days - Philliprocks  276.3 #762 11-20-12 1:21PM Like  Reply
I haven't experienced any enforcement and sometimes don't make it during my time slot. Although I can see how enforcing the times would make things faster. Yesterday an AP holder told me that if he doesn't make it that day he will save it for another day. He said CMs have never checked for date just time. - Gabster1  200.0 #1630 11-21-12 10:27PM Like  Reply
