Maybe I missed something but couldn't you get the fast pass for Soarin' run and do Test Track then before you turn in your fast pass for Soarin get another fast pass for a little later in the day.

Not to be confrontational, but I think that you guys missed the boat on Meredith's questions:

1. She is planning a trip for Oct. 17. Test Track is scheduled to be closed until Nov. 30. That information needed to be clear to her as there is very little chance she can incorporate Test Track on her upcoming trip.

2. From looking through message boards, it seems that Disney has a policy in place that prevents people from line jumping (see http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=613894). I think that this would move it out of the gray area and into the things that you just don't do.

Thanks as always for the show and everything you've done to help out commutes across the world.

Cheers,

Andrew

I think a show about All-Star Vacation Homes would be a great topic.

A discussion of benefits between staying on or off property could also be part of that topic.

I think that Jared got it wrong when he said that "it seems like a lot of effort for little or no payoff" (to the listener who shared that he used a free gift fastpass over & over]. It was very little effort, and a huge amount of payoff. Even though it was kind of cheating.

He obtained a new FP for Attraction A, with a later return time. He then immediatley got into the FP queue, and showed the free gift(valid) FP to CM #1 to be let into the FP queue line. Then at CM#2 in that queue, he turned over the (not yet valid) FP he JUST GOT, because CM#2 does not look at the return time! He kept the free gift FP for another use.
He then went to Attraction B, got a new FP, showed CM#1 the (valid) free FP to get into the FP line, then turned over the (not yet valid) FP to the 2nd CM, and kept the free FP again! (Etc. until he gave up or got caught. I don't remember if he shared that.)

He essentially got straight into every attraction right away, with no FP return necessary.
I see that as pretty much NO effort, except being smart enough to think of it, and brave enough to try it!
