we used the new electronic DAS today and it was very well implemented and easy to use. First the only big change is that when getting one your whole party must be present, or at least your passes/magicbands. The app basically builds your party by reading the bands. One person is assigned as the DAS holder(the person with the disability) and they take their picture which I am guessing shows up on the FP return screen. After that anyone in the party can go to the FP return and someone will scan your band and you whole party will be given a DAS return time which shows up in the MDE app alongside any FP's you might have. You are still limited to one at a time, and as always the DAS holder must ride, they check this by having the DAS holder go first and scan their pass/bands which triggers the screen and then all others scan their passes/bands just like a regular FP. This makes it look like you are using a FP just like anyone else which eliminates the stares and questions some have gotten. The only thing that now makes no sense is that you still have to go to the ride when it should be available at any FP kiosk given its electronic nature. Also they are issuing them for maximum 60 days, if you are a passholder why not make it till your pass expires, this would lessen traffic at guest services.
Otherwise it is still basically the same system.
