    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Disney only wants that to happen when it's unavoidable. Like an extended ride stoppage. The lightning lane back ups out the door at rides that are running optimally is such a bad look. And they know it. No reason Nemo should be so overloaded in the LL that it's around the building in the gift...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    pretty much all leaders and managers are saying to call if CM's aren't sure about a situation or there is a disagreement. They are making themselves "extra available" for these discussions if need be. Maybe the party just wants return passes and won't accept another answer and the CM doesn't...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Exactly. That's what Disney wants to happen. Not sure if this will work or if it will be smooth. But you articulated want Disney wants alternate accommodations to be, far better than I've been able too They want people asking each ride. They don't want uniform systems of understanding. The...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    My best advice is to talk to the ones at the entrance of the ride itself. Thats what Disney "wants" to happen. Definitely a lot of growing pains in that regard at the moment. For both guests and CM's alike. I've been frustrated by how unprepared I feel CM's are in general on this when it really...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Generally if it's at a 20-25 minute wait, that just means the indoor line is full and it's constantly moving but not shrinking When it goes higher, it's cause they are stopping or something. I never do Future World stuff between 11am-4pm cause it's always a walk on once the later afternoon hits

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    It wasn't free lightning lane, it was a service that was more optimized to take advantage of time in the parks than anything they have ever designed besides a tour guide, and it was free I.e, it was far better if we are comparing FP+ or Genie vs DAS on purely how much they can optimize a park...

    News 'Disney Dreams That Soar' Drone show coming to Walt Disney World this summer

    If anything, I'm betting they do a Halloween show and then a Christmas show. I think building this here is to do what you said, prove the concept, boost DS attendance by locals and tourists alike, and create a team and give them experience. That way, if they incorporate a drone show into the...

    I'm not saying I agree with it or think its right. I'm relaying the info provided. But I appreciate the point you are making.

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Well, ideally, the guests come up and say "my child had... issue and can't wait inside that long" and the greeter will then say "okay, we'll we can do x, y, z" And let's say the guests pick the meet the rest of party at merge option. The greeter will then explain that the child and 1 caregiver...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    That's fair. But the policy is coming down to each ride. It's gonna depend on the constraints of the building itself As for the merge thing, maybe you could specify what you are looking to know? I'm happy to try

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Yes. This And Disney wants you to learn about these things by asking CM's in person. Not in a formal list with greater detail online or a video. To curtail the spread of strategies to abuse

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Yes. The other one doesn't have a restriction on amount of use. But at least I was said only the person who needs to exit or wait outside +1 caregiver will get to do so(with an exception for 2 caregivers in a judgement based situation). The rest of the party, whether it 2 ppl or 10, will have to...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I can confirm I was told directly that Disney was tracking how many of these new passes greeter CM's are giving out(CM'S have to sign in to use the podiums and ipads) and you should almost never be giving them out. If they are giving out some every couple minutes, they will get pulled into an...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Best comment in the thread. Your point in #4 is the best. These systems can change overnight because they aren't any kind of formal pass or accommodation. If it's broken, they can adjust. If people figure out how to get CM's to hand out return passes and it's becomes an issue, they can stamp...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Literally exactly this was said to cast during the training on this new system. And if it's a party of 3 with 1 adult and 2 kids, it's probably going to get what it already is, talk to the CM's. If that hypothetical party of 2 or 3 need to go, either the CM will probably figure out how to get...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    And it'll be up to the party members in line to tell the merge CM they are waiting for someone and then the party members need to call the ones outside. Disney was very explicit that they are trying to put as little extra work on frontline CM's for these changes as possible. For better or...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Oh I know, and from a cold hearted buisness sense, Disney knows that. So why would they fear significant lost buisness to competitors due to accessibility? It sucks, but other companies like universal or six flags don't even care to build parks for "everyone" in the first place. It may be time...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    This isnt attacking anyone in particular cause everyone has their own group dynamics and needs. But im just gonna say it. Cause it's less convenient than just waiting for standby in terms of time spent. Same with rider swap. Some of the arguments ive seen across social media of why DAS is the...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Yeah, you would be absolutely amazed at just how little is required by Disney to get the approval of the ADA law people(I don't know who they are) they talk to in the government. Believe me, many CM's are shocked by some of the things about lines, buildings, etc. That the ADA related officials...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I literally said exactly this suggestion to people about hypothetical change to make it less attractive to even try to get(if you don't need it) But this is so far out of those on the front lines of WDW's hands that it's kind of moot.
