DAS Question - Skipping Ride Preshows

[slo]

Hi there!
I'm asking this on behalf of someone I know (actually, it's for a patient at the doctor's office I manage). They have a special needs son and by my suggestion, is going to try to get DAS for their upcoming trip. She asked me if DAS will allow them to skip ride preshows like the stretching room in the HM, everything before RotR, GotG, ToT and etc? I told her I didn't know, but I would ask you all to find out and get back to her. If DAS allows her and her son to skip the preshows, she's going to mention to the cast member she talks to that DAS will be used for this, because her son would have a hard time tolerating these shows. If you could let me know, and advise her, on what to say to the CM when video chatting with them, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks!

DAS allows them to get a “return time” and use the LL. Anything else needs to be requested at each attraction. Some pre-shows likely can be skipped by request but those that incorporate ride safety instructions cannot.

I agree. The DAS won't have anything to do with skipping pre-shows, but if you ask, a CM may be able to accommodate that. I know they can help you skip the stretching room for example. It may depend on the layout of the queue and if there is a way around the pre-show room. I am confident that CMs will try to assist you as they are able to.

It's definitely ride dependent. I've heard it can work on Haunted Mansion. They will NOT let you skip the preshow at Guardians. They will just tell you to stand towards the back away from the crowd and wait for the crowd to leave and be the last one out.
