Cheating at Disneyworld
Interesting discussion of different ways to cheat and skip the lines at Disney theme parks. Most of the tricks involve their FastPass system for virtual queuing:
Moving toward the truly disingenuous, we’ve got the “FastPass Switcheroo.” To do this, simply get your FastPass like normal for Splash Mountain. You notice that the return time is two hours away, in the afternoon. Wait two hours, then return here and get another set of FP tickets, this time for later in the evening. But at this moment, your first set of FP tickets are active. Use them to get by the FP guard at the front, but when prompted to turn in your tickets at the front of the FP line, hand over the ones for this evening instead. 99.9% of the time, they do not look at these tickets whatsoever in this point in the line; they just add them to the pile in their hand and impatiently gesture you forward. All the examining of the tickets takes place at the start of the line, not the end. Voila, you’ve cheated the system. After this ride, you can get off and immediately ride again, since you’ve held on to the afternoon FPs and can use them in the normal fashion now.

Great site…if you want to be a criminal. Personally, I can understand that people want to save money and time, but these kinds of things doesn’t just benefit the people that do it – it’s at the expense of everyone there.
But, I mean, I’m not going to preach – more than I have to. If people feel this is okay, then that’s not up to me to judge.
