Where DLR would've just said "sorry folks" I was quite pleasantly surprised when WDW distributed FPs (valid for several days) to the entire line! And, instead of giving one per guest, they wrote the # in your party on one ticket. 3) Crush show was canceled so they distributed FP (valid for several days) good on almost every FP ride. 4) At DLR when a ride is down, so is the FP distribution. This didn't seem to be the case at WDW. (Test Track didn't come up one morning yet we could still get FP.)

For the most part we used our fast passes as soon as we could in DLR, but it seems the the timing issues at WDW are much different. I have concerns with trying to eat with PS times and making it back for the fast pass window. We are planning to be there during the free dining promo.

Just trying to "put one over on WDW" so you don't have to wait as long doesn't seem right with me. I am by no means a "goody goody". Although some of you may think differently since I also don't think it's OK to bring your mugs back on another trip - but I digress.**** I agree with you on the subject of fastpasses. You are given a "reservation" in line, and if you do not return in time for it, then you should have planned for its use. Planning takes maybe 3 mins while standing in line. As far as mugs go, Disney charges $12 for em, Its very difficult to get your worth out of it on a trip since you have to go to the main house to fill it up. The face that you have to buy one at each location makes it fair in my opinion, and if Disney wanted to avoid the problem of people bringing back mugs, they should just come up with a new one every 3-6 months.

The small percentage of people who bring their mugs are never going to truly turn a profit in their mugs, I.E. drink $9.50 on soda. I like the mug designs for the most part, but I wish their was more variance within their designs from year to year, to make them worth collecting.
