    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    But it happens. DAS holder leaves their card with the rest of the group and counts on the cast member to not look close enough at the picture as they scan people in and sadly sometimes works. So, then DAS wouldn't be necessary and perhaps this return to queue part would work where the person...

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    How will they sniiff out the fraud? If the concerns expressed over the video chat doesn't seem to be genuine or detailed enough, they bring in their health partner who specializes in those developmental disabilities, essentially like talking to a doctor. I'm sure it will also be telling when...

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Ultimately, I think having everyone scan into lines will be the ultimate answer. If you are in one, you can't be in another unless it's VQ or LL. If you need to leave and reenter, you scan. If you have DAS you scan to be in line virtually but you can't then go get in another line. I think...

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Here's a few other interesting thoughts and guesses based on what I've read here and have been hearing... Live video chats take away the physical intimidation cast in the parks sometimes face. They can also be subject to recording, potential facial recognition, and are in a much more controled...

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    Highly doubt it will be Zootopia and also hope it isn't. I also don't think if there is anything to this rumor that it would be that big of an expansion. That expansion pad is a great location, but remember whatever goes there will have a giant Animation office building, the giant Coaster...

    News Walt Disney Presents at Disney's Hollywood Studios closing for refurbishment in February 2024

    It would have been nice if they had did a big refurb prior to the 100 Years of Wonder celebration to be a completely refreshed space. It deserves more love. Last time I was in there, the lights were flickering, the seats had seen better days, and many of the exhibits could use updating. If...

    Trespassing third parties

    They know the answer. They are just instructed not to give it out and Disney treats it as proprietary information.

    News Disney Jollywood Nights - Disney's Hollywood Studios Holiday Season ticketed event

    From friends reports, night 2 definitely seemed to try and fix many of the issues reported on night 1. They said things seemed more organized and there seemed to be more going on with additional characters. They also moved a live DJ into the middle of the park which helped boost the energy...

    Trespassing third parties

    I'm guessing that this particular person is just trying to make himself seem like the victim because he made a career out of exploiting certain park services. The fact that the article mentions he does his tours for Guests with disabilities explained it for me. Probably playing dumb with the...

    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    These are quotes from the attraction that may be viewed with a different lens today. I have to give the disclaimer, that my suggestions don't necessary mean that I'm offended by them or that they are all troublesome, but they are guesses at what I think could be viewed by some people as not...

    News “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater

    It's Tough to be Bug was another show that had capacity that wasn't being fully utilized. It was also a show from 1998 and was 25 years old. It was great show and perfect fit, but it was due for a replacement. I'm happy with Zootopia appearing here rather than Dinoland. It'll be interesting...

    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    This one was a surprise, but I'm okay with it. Country Bears was earmarked as an attraction that offers attraction capacity that doesn't regularly fill to capacity. It also has troublesome song lyrics that was evaluated as part of it's Inclusion key initiative. The songs from that show were...

    News Walt Disney World to eliminate self-service paper straws and plastic lids

    I imagine more of this sort of thing is on its way to the parks over the next 7 years as they try to meet their 2030 goals. I've heard from some friends that are Cast that have heard that plastic utensils could be on their way out for both Cast break rooms and Guest dinning. There could be...

    DAS and fireworks?

    DAS is really primarily designed for people who have concerns navigating the process of queueing in a traditional line. Fireworks don't have lines or posted wait times to even issue a return time for. There are other services or suggestions that Guest Relations may be able to suggest based on...
