Fastpass attraction strategy
The best strategy for the "independent" machine
The sole remaining independent machine (World of Color) is nice and simple. Yyou can get one Fastpass (or "Showpass") without affecting any other Fastpasses you might want.
Note: All times are an example, and should not be a reflection of the time you really get on your Fastpass.
As of February 19th, 2013, the Disneyland Resort has started enforcing the end time on the FastPass, which means that you have one hour to use it. (This is a major change from the past, where Disney didn't enforce the end time). If you are a few minutes late, more than likely the Cast Member will accept it if you have a decent explanation why you were late. But if you are over 15 minutes late, more than likely you will be turned away. Also, exceptions will be made if the ride breaks down during the valid period of the FastPass, and you can use it at a later time.
So what can you have, before you've even used one of the "networked" machines? Currently, you can have one World of Color Showpass. And if you remember to pick up a new Fastpass before using one, you'll always have an current Fastpass for these attractions.
The best strategy for the "networked" machines
You can have, in most cases, one Disneyland and one DCA networked Fastpass in addition to the above standalone Fastpass. Once you get one networked Fastpass, you are not allowed another "networked" Fastpass within the same park (either DL or DCA) until one of these two events happens: * It is later than the beginning time listed on the Fastpass; or * Two hours have passed since receiving the Fastpass
Examples:
* It is early in the day, and you go to get a Splash Mountain Fastpass at 9:15 a.m., the Fastpass issued to you is valid from 10:20 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. In this case, you could get your next "networked" Fastpass in Disneyland at 10:20 a.m., and that would be the time printed on the bottom of the Fastpass * But let's say it is a bit later, around 10:30 a.m., when you get a Splash Mountain Fastpass and it is instead good between 2:40 p.m. and 3:40 p.m. In this case, the next networked Disneyland Fastpass would be available to you at 12:30 p.m., two hours after the Fastpass was issued. There is one additional rule in that you would not be allowed to get another Splash Mountain Fastpass, until the window opens at 2:40 pm. At 12:30 you could get a Fastpass for Autopia, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Indiana Jones Adventure, etc.
One of the most important tricks to maximize your "networked" Fastpass usage is to get a new networked Fastpass prior to using the one you already have. Let's look at an example: * You have an Indiana Jones Adventure Fastpass that will become good at 12:35 p.m. At 12:35, you could get a Splash Fastpass (let's say it is good for 2:50 p.m. to 3:50 p.m.) and then go back to ride Indiana Jones Adventure. Then at 2:35 pm (don't forget the two-hour rule), you might pick up a Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Fastpass, before riding Splash Mountain. Continue this throughout the day.
So, at any given time a Fastpass user can theoretically possess one or two Fastpasses for each of the stand-alone Fastpass attractions plus one or two of the networked attractions in each park (depending on return times in relation to the two-hour rule).
Another thing to think about to maximize the number of rides you get into a day are the Single Rider Passes available on Indiana Jones Adventure, Splash Mountain, Radiator Springs Racers, Grizzly River Run, Soarin' Over California, California Screamin', and Goofy's Sky School. With the exception of Soarin' Over California and Radiator Springs Racers, use of single-rider lines is generally faster than Fastpass, so if you are willing to use them this will free up the list of attraction for which you will want Fastpasses.
The best strategy for using Fastpass
Rather than thinking of Fastpass as two systems (Disneyland and DCA) think of it as thrree systems (World of Color, the Disneyland networked system, and the DCA networked system) and that you can have one or two from each system at any given time. To make best use of Fastpasses, do not use a Fastpass from one of the systems (with the exception of World of Color) before attempting to get a new Fastpass from that system.

Term 1

...My variety of different experiences will help me contribute to the diversity in the Physical Therapy Program.  One of my experiences that really stand apart from others is my participation in a mission trip to Honduras.  I joined students from the University of Connecticut Health School to provide free healthcare to inhabitants of small villages and cities in the area.  The trip taught me the importance of providing healthcare to poverty stricken areas and the effect it can have on the communities. The experience also really cemented the importance of being tolerant of different cultures and areas of the world. You need to be truly passionate about providing a better life for the people that come from less fortunate circumstances, but also understanding of their ways of life. If you are doing something just because you think it looks good and would benefit yourself; your goals become very transparent and those you are helping can tell right away you aren’t really there for them. There was no greater feeling then seeing the smile on the children’s faces while we worked with them to get them better or the clear look of thankfulness on the people who will never take what we provided them for granted.  I would love to have the opportunity to provide physical therapy to similar areas of need, which I can successfully contribute to the program at MGH IHP.             I have also had different experiences relating directly to the field that have all been quite diverse.  My first...

The House of Hope

...time that I have applied leadership and an immense amount of communication is when my family and I head down to Mexico on a missions trip. Once a year we pack our bags and head across borders driving a total of 16 hours, going into the heart of Mexico we drive through Chihuahua City arriving at a little town called Anahuac. Inside Anahuac is an orphanage called “Casa de la Esperanza,” it is filled with laughter and a second chance for kids who never got the attention and love they deserved. This orphanage has roughly 40-70 kids a year ranging in size, age, and backgrounds you would never wish on anyone. Hearing some of these children’s stories and where they came from would never reflect on who they were on the inside, all these kids want is love and friendship and they would quickly give it back. The very first time we arrived at Casa a lot was going through my mind, since this was a new experience that was out of my comfort zone. I felt times like these really help expand and push limits of leadership and communication that benefit and support a community in need. Casa is truly an amazing place that focuses their vision not on themselves but on the neighboring community, they supply and conduct food drives, medical exams and taking care of whatever else needs to be done in the town of Anahuac. After hearing what was expected of us in this trip I knew I was going to thrive and truly help make a difference. Casa takes in these children...

Shortly after this we can see, that the real action, is about, Stuart and Claire’s relationship, and how Claire is. The settings in the start are at a river, miles away from Stuart’s home. It’s not described very well, but I have an imagination, at how this place the men is at, is a normally place in a forest near a river. Maybe there is a bonfire place, with some stones around it, and they are sitting there in a circle. Otherwise the story takes place several different locations, there isn’t described very much in this short story. A characterization of Claire: In the text, it appears that Claire is mentally ill. It is only, if you read the whole story, it makes sense...

Describe How To Make A List Research Paper

...Every year more than one-third of Americans (35%) take a vacation somewhere around the world. Unless you just pick up and leave you are going to need to pack to make this trip more enjoyable, but along with packing comes stress. From personal experience I find packing very overwhelming but with a little help it can be a quick and easy process. Start off with making a list. Creating a list can ensure you don't leave out and important items that could cause any stress when arriving to your special destination. List clothing, toiletries, accessories, electronics, and some things to do when you have down time. Firstly, you should start with the clothing you are going to pack; clothes that will make you feel comfortable in a warm environment. If you are going to go hiking make sure you bring lots of tank tops and shorts and along with that tennis shoes so your feet are comfortable. If you are going to go to the beach or hang around pool side make sure you bring lots of bathing suits. Bring extra so when you are at the pool or beach the other pairs could be air drying back at the hotel.

Troy Missouri: A Short Story

...Have you ever felt as if you were living the dream? That anything bad in your life just disappeared? That’s exactly how I felt on June 1st 2015 in Troy Missouri. The sun was shining down on me as the wind blew at just the perfect speed, in which made my hair spin as if I was in a tornado. And at this moment I knew my life was perfect, and nothing could change that. But I guess I thought a bit too soon, because before all the paradise came the 13 hour long and painful car ride. The car ride felt like a never ending lecture from your parents. And the worst part about it was that there was no amazing scenery on the way there, so all you could do was stare at long fields of green and brown hills. After 13 long hours of nausea and suffering my...

The Importance Of Martha Reed's Journey To East America

...Do you enjoy traveling? Hotels can be expensive, and gas or a plane ticket can be pricey. Sometimes you can get carsick. It really sucks when you have to go to the bathroom, and there’s no gas station. Imagine there were no hotels, cars, planes or bathrooms. You probably wouldn’t do much traveling. Martha Reed and her family travelled from East America all the way to Oregon. They accomplished this feat without common day technology, including cars, hotels, gas stations and planes. They walked the Oregon trail, which is roughly two thousand miles, on foot. That’s not easy. That wasn’t even the largest part. Starvation has always been an enemy of the human race. It was a major threat for the emigrants. Martha said this,“Ben Kelsey, wife and child and several others came on to California. They had many hardships. Got out of food and had to kill their oxen and eat them and leave their wagons and come on foot and they all but starved.” She wasn’t as unfortunate, but there were those to whom had it worse. Traveling was nothing to be laughed at, it was a hard and dangerous journey. It became even more dangerous with the threat of Indians. Not all Indians were warm and welcoming. Martha however, did not face any conflicts with the Indians, although this was not the case for everyone. For example, in Martha Williams Reed, an Oregon Pioneer, she wrote this,” They thought Dr. Whitman brought it there to kill them off so they killed Dr. Whitman, his wife and all that were at the station...

Then there is the computer station where the students can research more information on the web about volcanoes...

Red from Green - Essay

...able to stand on our own two feet, while in the process discovering things about ourselves such as our sexuality and where we want to head in life. In the short story “Red from Green” by Maile Meloy, It is at this crossroad that our protagonist, Sam, finds herself. She is forced to see herself and her father in a new light following a float trip where a grown man shows an interest in her. “Red from Green” is narrated from a third person perspective, and from Sam’s perspective. Sam is a 15-year old American teenager from Montana who is about to start her sophomore year. Because Sam’s mother died she lives alone with her father which has created a strong bond between them. Therefore they did not like to talk much about the fact that Sam had been offered a scholarship to a boarding school. She had not decided to take it yet and she was unsure how her father felt about it, “Applying had been her father’s idea, but now he looked dismayed every time the subject came up” (p. 1, l. 6-7). Sam and her father had been on this kind of float trip many times before, although this time her uncle and his client joined them. She thought the purpose of the trip might in fact be to gain the goodwill of this new client, “…it was the feeling she got - that they were going for the client” (p. 1, l. 15). The client, Layton, very quickly made an impression on her by complimenting her teeth which it seems she is not used to, this is made clear later when she ponders on his compliment, “And she was wondering...

...Name________________ Date________________ “Canopy of Nature” Reading Comprehension – Short Stories Directions: Read the story. Then answer the questions below. Dad decided last Sunday that we should all go on a camping trip. He read an article in the Sunday paper about camping and how it “brings families together under the canopy of nature.” “Overrated,” I joked. “What about the canopy of television or the canopy of restaurant food?” “This will be good for us,” Dad said, sliding the magazine across the coffee table. “Let’s go next week-end.” I shot a quick look over at my little brother, Paul. He gave me a slow eyebrow raise which meant, “This will probably not go off completely as planned.” My smile back said, "But it will surely be fun." I started to think back. Once Dad decided “we should all learn how to canoe.” We borrowed two canoes from our friends, hoisted them on the van and drove for three hours to a secluded lake in Virginia. Once we got there, we discovered that we had forgotten the paddles. Paul and I got in a canoe with Dad, and our two younger sisters got in a canoe with Mom. We floated aimlessly around the lake for hours. Then we all jumped in with our life jackets on. We pushed the canoes back to shore. It was a fantastic trip. Another time, Dad decided “we should all learn how to ski.” All of us hate the cold so we spent the week-end huddled by the fire, drinking hot cocoa in the ski lodge and playing board games. It was great. We had a blast. When I...

Mind Expanding Experience

...overseas to a place full of diversity and excitement. I have not traveled overseas before, and this experience was incredibly worthwhile. In the past, I have seen the neighbor country, Thailand but never a greater change in landscape, culture, and education as I did in Singapore. It was an utterly remarkable trip! It was a pleasant change to have the majority of Singaporeans, be polite and mannerly -- something that is not always existent in our Malaysia lifestyle. For example, they will not cut the line when buying things, or when using evaluator they will stand aside to let the busy people pass through. The people at this function were again extremely kind, helpful, and conversant, and it made the trip ever so much more easily and save time. Besides that, I also joined the Society of automotive engineers (SAE) to visit the proton industry last month. It was gratifying experience to explore at proton industry and learn about the proton engines and its other developments. Cam-Pro engine as we know as the most save energy engine in Malaysia, it was development by combining Lotus technology with proton own technology after the proton purchase the Lotus Company. In the trips, we visit emission lab, engine lab,(Component Material Safety and Strength) CMSS lab and noise lab.
