I'm currently in the middle of a trip... our first trip under the new DAS rules and the "new" LLMP. As previously stated, we are traveling with 6 ticketed guests + a 2 year old. Thankfully, crowds have been low and LLMP as well as LLSP have filled in the gaps in a lot of cases. I will say that we purchased additional LLSP that we otherwise wouldn't have purchased under the old rules, most notably Rise of the Resistance.
The DAS caps you at 4 guests as we all know. I was told anecdotally that some attractions would bend on this if you ask at the front. If anyone is looking to try this, my recommendation is to expect a no and be grateful for a yes. I asked for a 5th guest at Mine Train, Peter Pan, Ratatouille and Slinky Dog. The CMs at the Magic Kingdom allowed us to add a 5th guest. We were told no at Ratatouille and Slinky Dog.
For Ratatouille, the two additional guests went in the Single Rider lane and came very close to being in the same car with the rest of the family. For Slinky Dog, we ended up riding it twice that day. I believe we could have done a rider switch and accomplished something very similar to what we ended up doing. In this case, my brother (the disabled guest) and my 5 year old rode twice while the other two adults rode once each.
At Tiana's we got Virtual Queues the first two times we rode and they were accommodating to us with DAS enabled LLs and Rider Switches.
It never came to it, but an argument I would absolutely make would be for late arrivals of LLs if you are traveling with a guest that qualifies for a DAS. DAS has always been open ended, and one of the factors at play is that adhering to a schedule is not always an option. We have arrived late (beyond the 15 minute grace period) for many attractions this trip and have always been allowed to ride. I suspect that if we were stopped, I could just mention we have a disabled guest in our group and it would be a very short conversation before we would be approved.
We have "made it work" on this trip, but I would still be very conscious of when I'm traveling to WDW in the future. Crowds are low, and that's certainly helping our touring.
