I understand the frustration. Here’s the problem though. The difference between 4 people and 6 people in your party might not seem like a lot, but translated across all of DAS that would actually represent a 50 percent increase in the number of DAS-affiliated users in the lightning lanes. DAS as it existed was not sustainable. The lightning lanes have **noticeably** improved since they made these changes, to the benefit of everyone using them (including, by the way, legitimate DAS users such as your brother). Staying on the current path meant that DAS was going to be untenable for everyone. You ever experience a 30-45 minute backup in the lightning lanes at the really popular rides during peak times? That’s not really happening anymore absent extraordinary circumstances. Disney did what it had to do. They simply can’t support DAS for extended families/large parties.

[QUOTE="Fido Chuckwagon, post: 11109327, member: 141961"] I understand the frustration. Here’s the problem though. The difference between 4 people and 6 people in your party might not seem like a lot, but translated across all of DAS that would actually represent a 50 percent increase in the number of DAS-affiliated users in the lightning lanes. DAS as it existed was not sustainable. The lightning lanes have **noticeably** improved since they made these changes, to the benefit of everyone using them (including, by the way, legitimate DAS users such as your brother). Staying on the current path meant that DAS was going to be untenable for everyone. You ever experience a 30-45 minute backup in the lightning lanes at the really popular rides during peak times? That’s not really happening anymore absent extraordinary circumstances. Disney did what it had to do. They simply can’t support DAS for extended families/large parties. [/QUOTE]
