Does anyone know how fast WOC fast passes run out? A few of us are going, and I just now got off of work. Would I still be able to grab some? Or are they probably all gone by now- thanks if anyone knows the answer:)
Just got an email confirmation that I'll be at the 6th Annual Courageous Creativity: Leading the Nexus of Arts & Career Education Conference.... It takes place at paradise pier hotel and includes backstage tours.. Eeek!! Excited!!

Did you know.. Alex Gould did the voice for Nemo and Bambi (on Bambi 2)?? Cool fact:)
And did you know that Pixar casted him when his family was at WDW? The Pixar execs and the Nemo producers happened to be in the park and they heard his voice. When they heard it, they immediately talked to his parents, and then he was casted on the spot! - BaseballMickey_CM2856.5 #16 3-6-12 7:16PMLike Reply

You can still go but once the new one is issued the old one is invalid. Just explain you haven't received the new one and they will look you up and give you a day ticket, your new ones should be to you very soon. - Pixarprincess531.4 #215 10-27-11 1:27PMLike Reply
This happened to me this year too. As soon as uou renew the old pass is invalid. But since your pass is still good until the date, you can enter the parks. They will give you the courtesy pass so that you can get fast passes. So basically every time you go until the new passes arrive you will get the courtesy pass. Kinda obnoxious but oh well! - Lawoff127.9 #2607 10-27-11 1:27PMLike Reply
