2 DAS on same DME account good for party of 10 ?

[HowdyTX]

I should have 2 DAS traveling in a total party of 10. However, I do all the planning. which means:
(1) can I use my DME account for both DAS ?
(2) since 2 DAS, would the rest 8 qualify as DAS guests (total 10 in a party)?

thanks.

You can have more than one DAS on a single MDE account, but they may not allow that many on a single DAS. And if they do, individual attractions may not allow all to ride at the same time.

the makeup of the 10 could determine whether or not it’s allowed, that is they may if it parents and 8 kids, but might not if it’s extended family/friends.

more of 2 DAS parents and 8 kids/grandkids combination
i am one of the kid (a parent of 2 of the grandkids to DAS holder)

The limit is six per DAS, so they should say no to 10, but I’d be surprised if they did .

If everyone is planning to ride everything together, you could split people between the two DAS, and there would be no issue with the size of the party.

Yes we all plan to ride together - family trip. That’s why I’m a bit frustrated.

If you’re always going to ride together, then just put four people on one DAS and the other four people in the other DAS. No worries with the limit then because you’ll only have 5 people in each DAS.

I guess I do have to have two DME account in-order to do what you are suggesting ? One for each DAS ? But if so, is it difficult to do same reservations in two different DME for us 10 to ride same ride at same time?

No, you don’t need two MDE accounts for this, so long as everyone is on your MDE account.
All you have to do is get a return time for each DAS when you want to ride something, then all show up for the return time .

Have you used the DAS before? If not, are you familiar with what is needed to obtain one?

I think think the confusion is 2 different things are being linked at the same time…

The first ”link” is adding the DAS to whoever it belongs to in your (or their’s) MDE

The second “link” is adding the names of the people that are going to be riding with which DAS person.

Is that clear as mud? LOL

I know how to get one. Parents qualify. They almost didn’t want to go, until I found about another DAS.

You got it!
My question really is down to, if MY MDE hold both parents as DAS (2-DAS holder), then can I have all 10 guests in my MDE account. No one else will use MDE while in park nor register. Can all be controlled by one MDE (mine). Would all 10 guests qualify to ride with the DAS - all listed under one MDE account.

Ok

Unless they’ve had one before, no one really knows if they qualify until they request the DAS, since it’s not diagnosis based.

Yes, all 10 people can be controlled in one MDE account. Who can ride with the DAS depends on who you assign to each DAS. Being in the MDE account doesn’t automatically associate with a DAS in the same MDE account.

DAS holder needs an account (the CM issuing the DAS will also need to take a photo) but you could technically "control" both of those accounts behind the scenes. Make sure all members of your party are listed in the DAS holders and your own "Family and Friends" section of MDE--make sure that everyone is sharing plans. This will give you access to all members of your party and allow you to schedule same day DAS return times. It may be easier with just you handling all the reservations but be prepared, cause you're going to be looking at your phone all day, EVERYDAY! Keep in mind that f you're passing a Blue Umbrella--the CMs can also assist. Remember that you won't be able to book a return time until the DAS holder scans into the park--the app will block you--Strangely though, if you've been at say, Magic Kingdom, in the morning and then return to your hotel, you will be able to book another return time remotely, but only for the park that you've already scanned into. If you're the "Disney Planner" in your group--you probably know all the details by now but I would just recommend that you have your party split into 2 groups from the very beginning--this will ensure that you're never trying to get 2 DAS reservations for 1 person at the same time--the system doesn't allow this and will cause a lot of frustration when you're trying to book a return time--also remember that the DAS holder has to scan into each ride first--and then the rest of the party can follow--once you've gone past the 2nd scanner in the cue--you're eligible to book another return time. So, hopefully, all of that made sense and I didn't just freak you out with all the details, lol--it's actually very simple. Hope it works out well and you all have the vacation you're hoping for!

Thank you for the correction--I forget to add to my post the usual--"if anyone knows any better, feel free to correct"-lol--we all learn this way! So, to summarize, no account needed for DAS holder--but one must have all 10 members listed in "Friends and Family" to be able to schedule a return time--I guess this phrase "No one else will use MDE while in park nor register" is what's throwing me off--one way or another, Disney needs a record of the DAS holders--so they will have to "register" somehow--either with pre-registration online or in person. If my info is wrong--once again, feel free to correct, lol

Thank you both, I’m confused because when I click LIVE CHAT - it automatically asks for a Disney Account.
when I sign in to MDE, it also asks me for a Disney account.

if I read it correctly:

(1) DAS will each need its own Disney account to use when request/waiting for live chat CM?

(2) I sign in my Disney account into MDE

(3) link each of DAS to my MDE

(4) does each guest (my kids and my siblings) all need their own Disney account to associate Resort stay/park tickets,,,, in order for me to link their Park Tickets to my MDE?
—> I did not think so, because MDE app has area to “scan in tickets”???

(5) i inquiry #4 is because how does CM via Live Chat know how to link which guest? By how Park Ticket registration to whom?

Thank you all

You don't link guests to the DAS; that has to be done by the CM when requesting the DAS.

To get a DAS, you either have to do the online screening or in person at the park. The person requesting DAS has to be present. A MDE account with everyone involved needs to be set up beforehand, not sure who has to "own" it. We used my daughter's account for our last trip the first time I requested DAS, and that worked just fine.
