Sounds like an improvement over G+ but I'm cautiously optimistic. The real test will be how much (more) they will charge for it.

I'm not surprised

fp+ with the preplanning was terrible. It didn't work the same way DAS prebooks rarely worked for us. It's just too difficult to predict where in the park we will be at a given time, and we cannot criss cross as so many do.

But it looks like the speculation on adding prebooking to genie+ - now called lightning lane multi pass - was accurate. So I continue to feel that the DAS changes were more about selling more genie+ than anything else.

Damn right they were.
Dis has become real slime balls lately.

I think the catch is they will get more people pre buying it if they are staying on site to take advantage of the earlier booking times. So might buy it for their whole vacation...and then learn they really didn't even need it much. I know that happened to me in the last with Uni, getting the hotel for front of the line and it not even being that crowded

Here is your first major impact resulting from the changes implemented to DAS. We can stop attempting to analyze small and inconsistent changes to standby times on random days.

On top of that, it doesn't even mean you're guaranteed to get anything. It's just adding a deterrent step for people to get through before they can talk to the Universal people re: accommodations. People get IBCCES for all kinds of disabilities - deafness, mobility issues, vision issues - many of which wouldn't entitle them line accommodation.

Simply put... it's offloading the 'verification' step before UNI or Six Flags will offer you an accomodation. It's some scheme to shift the conversation to a 3rd party 'expert' to somehow absolve the park operator from having to make the determination of a valid disability or not. The output is just a digital token that you then having to take to the park operator and they then decide what accommodation you should get, within their operations.

The whole thing is scammy from a lot of directions.. depending on what you value.

Don’t worry… we will still get daily anecdotal screenshots, I’m certain of that! Haha

I’m afraid they’ll be just as long until we see some net new additions to the slate of attractions.

Of course it was… which again they can do as a company but lets call the DAS overhaul what it is. Another cash grab that will make no impact on standby lines at all imo

Well, quietest Tuesday I’ve seen this whole time, will be interesting if this keeps up the whole week. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t need to take 2 screenshots on a Tues:

We have been conditioned to think a 105 minute wait time is quiet - its MADNESS!!!!

Wow, now I'll really have no desire to go back to the parks...

Here's a hint people... when everyone is special... no one is special.

Well that’s only an hour and five minutes, right?

Just like FoP at 230… WDW inflates all the waits so really that was under 2 hours

For some. For many with disabilities the whole genie+ as a replacement for DAS concept just got a lot less accessible

I don't think that G+, nor this new system, are good substitutes for how DAS functioned in the past for a lot of people. But the old DAS isn't coming back. For us least, being able to pre-book 3 selections is something that we can work with. It sucks to have to pay for it in order to enjoy a trip. We will just adjust our budget to include it and make spending cuts elsewhere during our trip.

Yes, I'm very optimistic about these changes, too!

I'm glad it is something your family can work with, truly. Prebooks have never reliably worked for us, whether they were free or paid.

So I will continue to hope that DD's developmental disability will continue to qualify her for DAS.

I hope that your DD continues to qualify.

That’s so true. Flew back from SEA and when everyone has status no one has status. Huge lines for Sky Priority and TSA Precheck.
