DAS Approval/Denial with New DAS Guidelines START 5/20 WDW & 6/18 DL

I wonder how many disabled guests they have compared to Disney. Like the percentage. I know a lot of other parks have more thrill type rides that many with disabilities can’t do. It makes me wonder if Disney has more guests that visit with disabilities overall.

Actually, many of them have similar percentages, some even higher. Not saying all of them, but a lot of them. The ones that are higher are the ones that actually have very robust accessibility programs. Of course all systems have their pros and cons, but is is quite possible to make the systems work for most, something Disney has lost sight of.

Datapoint. DLR DAS and renewed in December easily for duration of annual pass.

Wdw DaS call today. They tried looking up but couldn't find even with ticket# and username. Ended.up copying old chat over and they matched entier valid time to September. We do have a lot of nonexpiring tickets on our mde so guess that may have caused the issue of length of approval determine so they went with matching dlr time

Non questions on qualifications.

Took 1 hour today to get approved for DS @ DL so not too bad. Wish the systems talked together so that they could see we are already approved at WDW for DS.

My understanding is that it's not about the systems talking to each other, it's more that the parks are different in their accessibility for queues and so it will likely always be different conversations.

No there tech is not the same. LL is still based on MaxPass in DL where it is different in WDW. DL only works with MagicBand+ where WDW continues to work with all versions.

Once you get approved they are booked the same way with the MDE (WDW) or DL app but yes do to space DL you may need to go to the exit instead since it may not have a LL entrance.

I wasn't saying the tech is the same. I'm simply saying I don't think the fact that the hardware tech is different is why we have to have DAS conversations for each park.
