    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I’m 6’-4” but thankfully a lot of my height is in my torso. It does make me want to duck on SM ;)

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I can’t imagine how nerve-racking it would be if I had a trip booked before this is all figured out - I’d probably end up cancelling.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I don’t think anyone is advocating for status quo. Disney only recognizing autism as a disability worthy of DAS is extreme. Disney rolling this out without all the details on how it was going to work was a mistake.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I’m guessing the wait for SGE is well in excess of eleven minutes.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I’ll go back to my earlier question; we do t know what “return to queue” encompasses yet - right? (Assuming it’s not the same as RS) I’m hopeful I’ll go “oh, that makes sense” but not expecting it. It does seem odd that Disney has announced this change without all the details. If nothing else it...

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    My son’s first trip was at 18 months. That he was under 42” tall was a temporary situation. While your son/daughter will (likely) some day be taller than 42” my son will have his disability for his entire life. Also, DAS was not only used on rides with height restrictions.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    We rarely do TS, and practically never a “nighttime spectacular”. Let’s go with your numbers though - does it seem reasonable that a family with disabilities is now expected to spend 65% of their vacation apart?

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    If they don’t limit it somehow I could see a cottage industry of line holders starting up. Buy someone a ticket, and pay for them to wait in line.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I had to Google when the “Express Transportation Option” was offered (anyone remember that?) to figure out when I last saw a show at WDW. We went to Lion King in 2017. On our last trip in March we spent, maybe, thirty minutes shopping (to get my son ears). Oh, I guess we did use bathrooms...

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Oh, so I’ll just be apart from my family 90% of my day. Excellent.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    This is my concern - we’re also a family of three. The return to queue option sounds like Disney no longer a family vacation. It’s my wife and son together, and me by myself.

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    There is nothing official on how “return to queue” will work, right? Doesn’t it seem odd they announced without having the full plan ready? I’ve been to WDW every other year my whole life, and since 2015 DLR on opposite years. In the last twelve months we did DLP, DLR, and WDW. Without DAS (or...

    Patrick Warburton surprises guests with appearance at Soarin'

    I did Flyover Chicago (a Soarin’ knockoff) last weekend. Granted, it’s twice as long, but the film put both versions to shame (and I love over California)

    Patrick Warburton surprises guests with appearance at Soarin'

    Is there any reason they can’t run both at the same time? (One theater CA, one World)

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I’ve never looked into going to Universal; Disneyland Paris requires that up apply for a “priority card” in advance. I’d welcome the change. Having to justify my son’s disability at the start of each trip is no fun, and stresses him out (and we have a vastly different experience each time)...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    When our Remy reservation was cancelled the other day we got an anytime pass, and tried to use it at Test Track, but they said we couldn’t use it at Test Track, Soarin, or Frozen. I was like “So Gran Fiesta then?” the CM laughed (she was very nice about it). So it’s not necessarily similar tier.

    Animal Kingdom vs Magic Kingdom

    MK any day. Then Epcot. Then probably Studios. We were at AK Sunday afternoon. Dinosaur was down (we’d waited in line for like an hour and got a Lightning lane that was practically useless for our troubles). Everest was down. It was raining. It was so bad that we ended up going on the Navi...

    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    I really wish they’d put something on the people mover track; even if it was a small scale non-rideable vehicle that gave them a purpose and some motion.

    Cabins at FW sales thread

    When were the “original” cabins built? When we stayed there in the early eighties they looked like mobile homes.

    How long do you think Carousel of Progress has left until its either updated or removed?

    I’d like to see the closing thester get a small scene that could be “current”. (Maybe just a modern animatronic John). Then make it “A Century of Progress” and cover 1900-2000 in 25 year jumps.
