DAS-equivalent?

[mshanson3121]

Does Universal offer anything similar to Disney's DAS card for children with Autism (etc...)?

They sure do. Just stop in at Guest Services and they will give you your Guest Assistance Card. However, if you are staying onsite, the unlimited express pass is even better.

When DAS came out, while reading about it I noticed how similar it was to what Universal had been doing all along. FWIW.

Thank you so much

This is called Attraction Pass.

it works like the DAS at Disney. But it's still on a cardboard card.
It works more or less along the lines of :
- if wait time is 30 minutes or less, you might be allowed to enter the express line immediatly (ask a team member)
- if wait time is over 30 minutes, or if the team member decides so, you will get a return time written on your card. When time has come, you'll proceed through the express line. You can't have 2 return times at the same time.

it also works at HP attractions.
some will have alternate entrances. I'm thinking of Hogwarts Express where the team member will ask you if you want to go through the wall or proceed directly to the platform.
if you choose to go direct to the platform, you'll be directed towards a lift, go up one level, and exit the lift just at the point where guests are dispatched in the numbered rows to board the train.

as mentionned by a PP, go to guest relations inside a park, and explain the reasons you should get the attraction pass.
