Our friends over at ScreamScape have this to say about some recent rumors regarding the FastPass rules being enforced....
Quote:
General Resort News - (2/7/12) Screamscape insiders tell us that training classes are being scheduled for Cast Members at the end of the month for an ‘update’ on a new FastPass procedure. It is thought that this may be the new official policy about enforcing the end time on the Fastpass ticket windows. The rumor going around the CMs is that the new official FastPass window policy may allow for guests to arrive up to 5 minutes early… and only up to 15 minutes late. More as this develops.

Wow, this is not good, well, for me at least. Im always used to getting a fast-pass, then waiting until later to use it. This is going to dampen my day a lot.
Re: Walt Disney World - New FastPass Rules Rumored
This will have pros and cons. Boo that I can't get one early and use it after the window closes. Yay that when it is time for me to use my Fast Pass it will not be possible to get bottlenecked by everyone late for theirs because of whatever else they were doing.
Re: Walt Disney World - New FastPass Rules Rumored
I agree Tammi, I am tired of getting a fastpast only to come back within the time noted that there are people who are two or more hours pass their time frame.

Re: Walt Disney World - New FastPass Rules Rumored
I never knew that the fastpass was usable after the time allowed. We literally ran from tomorrow land to the Peter Pan ride so we wouldn't be late. Then the operator told us we could have been late. This was in Oct of 2010.

I think this is something that has been coming for a while. If you get a window, it is an hour you should be able to make that. We always have. I would actually like to see an online / app that let you select what things you wanted to do and put the request in the day before and then let the system program your fast passes for the day. You get to pick your top 4 things and they give you a time throughout the day. I think that would make things much smoother for everyone.
