    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    There is no end time for a DAS. It is a return anytime after <<blank>>. For people with neurodivergent issues, the one hour window LL is often very difficult.

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I really don’t know. I didn’t know if they loosened it because of former DAS users, if we just got lucky, or if it’s because of the upcoming switch or something else. We tapped into haunted mansion, smugglers run, frozen, and a few others anywhere between 30 minutes to 4 hours late and there was...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I want to share my experience from WDW this past week to offer some hope to former DAS users. (And would really appreciate no un-kind comments). My daughter has Level 1 Autism with Language Impairment and used DAS previously. She would have been extremely upset to apply for DAS and be denied and...

    Cosmic Rewind VQ

    We'll be in Epcot tomorrow and are purchasing Genie+ to stack for the evening but not planning to purchase any ILLs. We aren't sure what time we will make it to the park yet - we are planning on spending the late afternoon and evening there and we are Deluxe resort guests and tomorrow is an...

    Best Mocktails

    Looking for recommendations for some of the best non-alcoholic drinks at restaurants or even just around the world. We are on the dining plan, and honestly, I’m a little bummed to not be able to drink the included alcoholic drinks with meals. I’m hoping to find some fun, non-alcoholic, options...

    Genie+ for Epcot with Extended Evening Hours?

    We will be a large extended family group making a WDW trip in July. We arrive at MCO at 7:55am (after getting up at 3am to go to the airport), so we'll be tired early - especially the young and the old in the group. We are staying at WL, so we can go to Extended Evening Hours at Epcot on our...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I hear what you're saying, though I think your tone is a little demeaning.

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Sure, except there is a difference between an 11 year old with autism and a 5 year old. I have both. I wouldn't try to get accommodations for my 5 year old. Why? Because he will outgrow being 5. My daughter will not outgrow autism. We teach her strategies, we make accommodations for her in our...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    We've never tried. We are lucky enough to be able to book their deluxe level resorts which automatically come with express passes. Universal's system uses a IBCCES card at some point in the process though, which we'd have no issue getting for my daughter. I feel lucky to not have a severely...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I’m really sorry. Sounds similar to my level 1 daughter. She is okay with short waits but if anything goes “wrong” (in her eyes, like for example the line stops moving briefly), she begins panicking and asking a million questions very loudly and definitely annoys the guests around us. RTQ will...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Has anyone's kiddo with Level 1 autism been approved under the new system?

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Okay, admittedly, I haven’t read the 288 pages of discussion, so please go easy on me. My 11 year old has an official level 1 autism diagnosis and we typically tour WDW with a DAS. We have never had an issue getting one before. She is a child who doesn’t “look” disabled and is not a severely...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    We travel with a DAS and got a virtual queue spot - our boarding group happened to open up around 11am. I talked with the CM at the tent to exchange our virtual queue for a lightning lane and explained that we would need to return a little later and asked if that would be okay. I was told that...

    Best Rooms for Five

    Excellent info - thanks! The Boulder Ridge deluxe studios look good, but the one sink is a disappointment as well as the pull down bed under the TV. The kitchenette is nice though! I'm skittish about renting DVC points, I might just need to get over it!

    Best Rooms for Five

    We just finished an amazing week in one of the new Little Mermaid rooms in Trinidad at CBR. These rooms are fantastic for families of five! The room was incredibly well designed with the pull down beds, tons of storage, and plenty of space for a family of 2 adults and 3 children. We were blown...

    Lanyards and Hard passes?

    No - last trip was in 2019 and they’ve all been lost / thrown out. I naively believed they’d always be free and would arrive in that magical box in the mail!

    Lanyards and Hard passes?

    I’m just being cheap… 5 magic bands vs. free hard passes is a tough cost justification for me.

    Lanyards and Hard passes?

    We are traveling with three kids and will have a DAS pass. I hate using my phone all the time and am pretty technologically challenged. I’m thinking of asking for hard tickets and having us wear them on lanyards for easy access into the parks and then the constant tapping in through lightning...
