    WDW Summary of NEW DAS changes and Disney Genie - Post ONE is an updated summary

    Anyone else being told that DAS at WDW may be gone in the near future? (deleting, as it is irrelevant.)

    Couple DAS questions

    This has been our experience as well. We had friends of our family visit and added them to my DAS list while they were in Florida. This brought our party total to 7 guests (including the DAS holder). When all of us were inside the parks together, we were never permitted to have more than 6...

    Are they getting overly strict on DAS

    This has been my usual experience at WDW as well. Most of the CMs will see that I've been using the DAS for several years now, am an Annual Passholder, and that I renew DAS every 60 days. Most will verify that I am aware of how DAS works and only ask if anything regarding my situation has...

    Lap bars

    MMRR is the one ride I've experienced this issue with. I was the last person loading in our row, and before I could react the very skinny younger couple who had loaded ahead of us pulled the bar down tight. I was pinned so tightly against the seat that I had difficulty breathing. Was waving...

    I need help please

    No need to stress. Simply visit Guest Services or any of the many blue umbrellas/Guest Assistance locations throughout WDW upon arrival. It is very quick and easy to register for DAS on location. I am a DAS user who is a local and Annual Passholder, so I re-register every 60 days. Typically...

    What is with the Horrible Wait times???

    This is the sort of information that makes me a little sad for all who need to use the DAS. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for the DAS at WDW, as we would rarely be able to do many of the attractions without it. But DAS return times are based on the posted stand-by wait times, which...

    "Does Cheese have egg in it?" Yak and Yeti Review

    I am so sorry that you had such a negative dining experience. I know it may have seemed silly to you that a server had to question if there might be egg in the 'cheese', but actually it is a good thing to question the kitchen about if a guest has an allergy to eggs. While actual cheese may not...

    Can others in your party book DAS return times for you as long as you're also getting on the ride?

    I do not own a cell phone and have extreme difficulty with using touch screens due to peripheral neuropathy. My husband takes care of scheduling the DAS return times for us on his phone, as we are linked in the MDE app. You can also visit any of the 'Blue Umbrellas" inside of the park, or talk...

    Rides Breaking Down

    I am late responding back again to this thread, but waited until I could provide photos to back up what I have to say... Many of the unscheduled maintenance or sudden down times (aside from temporary pauses, where the ride then resumes) are due to guests losing items onto ride tracks or into...

    Food and Wine

    We love everything from the Ireland booth (Seafood Pie, Irish Sausage, & Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake) and the Hawaii booth (Pork Slider, Musubi Nigiri, & Passion Fruit Cheesecake) this year! Hops & Barley booth (American Adventure location) is also very good, and we've gone back there for the...

    Apparently it is stealing now to park at Springs to take a bus to the resorts?

    We frequently park at the Springs and will take a boat ride over to Port Orleans to shop and pick up freshly made beignets. We do not hop to a theme park, and we do also typically shop around Disney Springs while we are there (but not always). I do not consider that to be stealing, not in the...

    NO MORE DISNEY PLASITC BAGS?

    Funny, we were in WDW parks and DS on Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday this week and were offered free bags with every purchase we made (including numerous purchases at Creations Shop in EPCOT). The current shopping bags are made from recycled plastic. I actually carry one of those free clear...

    Tell me ONE thing you do every trip!

    Before we became locals, we always took at least one day off from the parks mid-week. We might spend part of the day at Disney Springs, but we always would resort hop. It is such fun to just explore the various resorts and grab a bite to eat or a snack. And you can take free Disney...

    Now a $5000 Star Wars cocktail! On the cruise ships.

    People are funny. It is as if they want to pretend that the drinks alone cost $5000. So, they make up silly headlines knowing a lot of other people will never read the original article and won't realize that the price is for a trip to Skywalker Ranch plus the drinks and other souvenirs too.

    Current popcorn buckets?

    We see Simba buckets frequently at Animal Kingdom... but they do come and go. It all just depends on if they hapen to have them in stock on the date you are in the park. DAK frequently has Simba and the 50th Mickey popcorn buckets, along with the 50thMinnie sippers.

    Maleficent Dragon float

    Schedules can change, but recently the MK daytime parade has been occurring both at Noontime and at 3 PM. The Maleficent float has been included in the regular daytime parades (weather permitting). Just be sure to check for any potential changes closer to your travel dates.

    Annual Pass Rumors??

    No matter what Disney does, obviously not everyone will be happy. I apologize for actually mentioning a few options that might be under consideration as ways to accommodate local/Florida AP holders and DVC members. I didn't cover every possible variable or type of guest in my post and...

    DAS this week was a different experience

    We are local AP holders who are in the Disney parks multiple times per week... and we use the DAS. In our experience the return time we receive for DAS, using the ap, is typically ten minutes less than the currently listed stand-by time (so as to help make up for the average time you can expect...
