Unless you make people tap in for standby, there is no way to know how long anyone has waited.
Again that is only for solo travelers. For the most part you will meet your party at the merge point

Not only solo travelers but people like myself who travel with a minor child. Im sure i am not alone in this scenario and situation.
I could go in the LL when the time was up? I don't think I would be bothered in that case. I would do something else in that time. It is not like I would be stuck waiting at the attraction entrance.

How is that fair and again talk about a waste of time now do that 2-3 maybe 4 times over a course of the day.
If the LL wait time is reasonable, I think it is fair. It would still be less total time standing in a physical line in most cases.
Edited to add: If it was a 90 minute line, the initial 45 minutes plus 15 in the LL is 30 minutes less than 90. There is the time waiting for the return time, but that is time when I could do other things and am not stuck in the physical line.

Again unless im not understanding the posters response i would not be happy walking into a 90 minute line waiting saying 45 minutes needing to leave and being told i have a return time 90 minutes from now. Which now turned my wait time to 135 minutes. That is absolutely absurd if that is their “reasonable accommodation”. So yes if that is the case imo anyone who feels or knows they will not be able to make that wait time should 100% tell a CM when entering a queue they cant wait to avoid waiting even longer for a ride/attraction
Would you prefer to be escorted back to the same place in the line where you left and have to wait 45 more minutes in the physical line? I would prefer the longer total wait with less time in the physical line if I had an issue waiting in physical lines.

From what's been said they won't give out return times that easy so not sure doing that will change much.

I would prefer that over waiting another 90 minutes or hey disney let people who have issues and know. They most likely will need to leave tap in so you know what time they are in

Then how are they going to accommodate solo travelers or people like myself who travel with a minor ?!?

But that's what would happen to anyone else, too.

By waiting in line and leaving if it gets too much you go back to entrance and tell the CM, who then give you a return time to come back.
What I'm saying is you can't go to the CM first and say you can't wait in line so give me a return time.

Again. Disney is telling people that are being denied DAS they will get a return time etc. if you think a return time after waiting x amt and then having to come back again after waiting the entire time is fair we can agree to disagree. Like i said if that is the case why would anyone risk wasting all that time

I know I keep repeating myself, but it does seem that some DAS user feel DAS should be superior to standby in every way, and not equivalent on average (better in some aspects, worse in others, so that on average DAS and standby guests are having the same experience).

Okay. So then people are gonna wait 5-10 minutes and do that because why would they waste more time on line

I think Disney is fairly confident that the people denied DAS will not be using a queue accommodation at every single attraction they ride. In theory I think the bulk of the people they moved off DAS were intended to be the ‘I sometimes will need help’ crowd and not the ‘I always will need help’ crowd. Remains to be seen if they were correct, but I think that’s the intention.
Based on that, I don’t think they intend to have the majority of guests using AQR having to deal with these kind of outlier situations over and over throughout the day. Again, it remains to be seen what actually happens but I think that’s the idea.

You are not guaranteed to get a return time. In fact you most likely will not get one at most attractions unless very specific circumstances are meant.

Most people will not leave the line and do this. This system has been in place the whole time and very few actually use it.
Unless you are solo or your case with a minor, you most likely will just keep waiting as it's not worth the effort to leave the line and go back to meet up with your group.
I don't think people are just going to want 5-10 minutes and leave. That means you would have to than go back through all those people to leave the line. Most aren't going to want to do that unless they absolutely have to.

Some may but i been on record on what needed to be changed in DAS and all were things that would “take away” some if the DAS “advantages” personally how is waiting in line 45 minutes then being told you need to another 90 minutes to ride is fair?

Im strictly talking about solo travelers and people with minor children where returning to meet a party is NOT an option…
