Not free, just to be able to buy. Does that include 2024?

A friend of mine went to guest services and was told they no longer do the physical cards.... which is also what the web site says.

Depends on who is going. We go with young children and during the day so they enjoy being able to go to the park still in the fall and the limited "Trick or Treating". We mainly get the Gold for Winterfest because we really like the seeing the Christmas decor and lights every year so for us the Winterfest alone is worth it. Plus they have some interesting vendors sometimes in the winter.

Yeah I still have my card too... Although I am consisdering getting a new plan as was suggested on Reddit so that I can double up on the meal plan for the remainder of the season. But I like having a physical pass.
And yes you can print off the QR code. I think they printed it for my friend the one day. He wanted to use it in Splashworks and his phone was in the locker. But yeah I guess they just assume that everyone has a phone... or will print the code.

We got two plastic cards at the end of June this year. So they do have plastic cards available.

Good to know... If I decide to get a new pass to take advantage of the meal plan overlap I'd like to get a new card... But as I said my friend got denied and the web site was saying otherwise. I still like having the physical card in case I am using a locker... or my phone battery dies... or whatever

The friend they denied happens to be a grade A jerk... so that probably didn't help his case. Now I have to decide if I:
Renew & keep my existing card + get a bring a friend ticket
Get a new membership and get 2 meal plans and 2 drink plans for the remainder of the season and then hope they give me a new card at guest services

To give folks an idea what a "meal" looks like: Semi eaten brisket (1 missing piece) and roasted potatoes (2-3 missing) from the Lazy Bear Lodge.
Taste was actually really good but for $19.99 plus tax, only three pieces of brisket is , only comfort is the fact that I've got the meal plan until next year.

5 FREE Single Use Fast Lanes
Can someone explain to me how does this work exactly? Single Use meaning you can only use it one 1 ride? How do you redeem it?

Scan your pass at the card reader at the fast lane entrance, then the attendant will let you pass
