Disney DAS

[Anonymous]

To cut down on abuse, can’t guests requesting DAS just provide documentation?
Is it illegal to have to prove a disability? I suppose it could be in some cases but I wish I could just do this so nobody thinks I’m gaming the system.

Honestly I think this would solve a lot of issues. If people could book a ride window interspersed with meal reservations and other stuff to do, you could fill your day without long times in lines. I wish they would just build that price into a ticket and go that route.

Also I’ve heard Universal has hotel packages that include the ability to get in a shorter line. That is a huge draw to stay on property if we switch it up one year.

Good luck with Universal! It was more expensive than staying on property at Disney! Portofino was $600+ per night just to get the fast pass that you are referring to and that didn’t include admission.

The three hotels that offer express pass at Universal are their three deluxe level hotels. And all three are absolutely cheaper (and nicer) than a Disney Deluxe hotel which does not include any ability to minimize waits.

It’s not about proving a disability, but that whatever challenges you have necessitate being able to ride any ride you want. Because DAS does not actually change the experience of waiting in line *at all* compared to Genie+. But it does allow you to book any ride you want basically sequentially, which you cannot do with Genie+. The use case for DAS really seems to be people who need a fixed schedule (e.g. can only be in the park for a short) not any sort of physical issue with the line. So the main users would appear to be kids on the spectrum who just cannot access Disney unless they can schedule rides.

Except the main users seem to be adults with a litany of problems who demand a free accommodation that is better and more valuable than the paid for Genie+ every one else gets. They have a better experience. Until now, because Disney cracked down and these people are enraged.
