Anyone else NEVER used a Fast Pass?

[TimmyII]

I've never used a Fast Pass ever. Anyone else NEVER used a fast pass? I rather enjoy standing in line with my friends and family just chatting. I also meet interesting people when standing in line.

Well hey, if you don't want to use it, that's your choice. Just don't complain about how long or slow the line seems.

I use Fastpass often, but not everytime I visit an attraction that has the system.
I mean, I go in Indy, ToT, Space, and every other Fastpass attraction without using one sometimes, but I use them every other time.

Agreed. I just have never used one. I don't mind standing in line. Like I said, I meet some of the neatest people while standing in line. Some I'm still in contact with today! And I'm one of those people that never complains when I'm at the park. Ever.

I always use them...Always. Because I simply don't have patience standing in line...

But if I'm going w/ friends? no problem! ( I haven't gone with a lot of friends)

I use fastpass because my days in the park are so limited. FP gives me the opportunity to take advantage of more rides when I'm there. But for the rides that don't have FP... I too like to visit and meet new people in line. I love talking to the kids especially asking what their favorite rides are. Maybe we'll meet someday in a NON FP line Timmy!

I haven't either.....we didn't even use our Dream Fast passes we got last time we were there....1) I refuse to go during peak seasons, 2) if the line is to long now.....it will be better around fireworks time!

We ride all the ones we have to early, when the lines are short. Later, we do get fastpasses, but not at every chance we get.

I don't use them, ever. The Imagineering that goes into the queues makes the wait time worth it, to me. I just don't go in peak seasons, so I usually don't have to wait more that 15-20 minutes for anything.

We often only get FPs to save time to get on more crowded lines (most often Space and Splash Mountain), but we make sure to use the ability only to a certain point, so that we are able to experience the queues to a greater extent. We'll often wait standby for IJA, Big Thunder, Space Mountain, and sometimes even Splash Mountain if we're in the mood to do some exploring and chatting.

The one ride we will not wait standby for is Soarin Over California over in DCA, solely because of the limited capacity of the vehicles.

i use them as much as i can...but after the second and third time around i ride a ride i just stand there and mess around with my buddies unless we are in a hurry to eat or watch a show

I should point out that aside from Roger Rabbit, you don't miss any of the queue while using a FastPass. If you're concerned other people rushing you through the queue, tell 'em to go past you if they're that eager.

I honestly, I can't live without FP. They make my life so much easier while at DL, like Disneyluvr2 said, I use them since I have a limited time and want to see and do EVERYTHING. What is also nice is usually I can hit a couple rides in the time limit that FP allow, and if I want to go on that ride again, I just FP. It works very nice, as for association its pretty rare that with a FP I am able to get on a ride ASAP. Usually, we wait sometimes 15- 20 minutes. I always use that as a good time to talk, but honestly I really don't have a problem with talking, as you may have noticed. I enjoy the presence of everyone and everything surrounding me.

Timmy II, I totally know where you are coming from. Pre fast pass it was so much fun with friends. It was really fun on a date! Lots of time for hugging. When there was no option but to wait in line you really had to get along with whoever you went with too. I used to call it being "Disneyland compatible". Of course, at lot more goes into that - liking the same rides, shows, and restaurants.

I have used Fast Pass, but actually find it to be a hassle to go and get the FPs. Pirates and HM don't even have them anymore anyway and I usually don't do Splash and Space Mt. I always get a FP for Indy, though.

Since I found out that you can use FP after the time window I feel a lot better about getting one. I'm just not one of those people who has to run around getting them in the morning. I would never give anyone the advice to do so, either.

When I was in DL in August - oh, yes, I love going in peak season, particurlarly summer - I used FP for Indy and practically had to run to keep up with the line. It was moving that fast. A woman in standby caught my eye and stopped me, "Excuse me, do you have to pay for those things that let you go in that line?" So I stopped for a second to answer no. Then she asked me more, "Where do I go? How do I get one? How do they work?" I'm in the FP line and the line is moving! Do you think I'm going to explain this? I pointed to the CM and said, "Ask him!" and then ran along on my way to Indy. I felt so privileged.

Fast passes can make you feel really good! I just don't like the idea of making a point to use them. If I can get one without too much of a hassle and it works out okay, that's good.
