DAS question

[emmakatbaby]

My son just got back from a school trip and said some of the attractions used his DAS on his Magicband and others asked for a card to get a return time. He was very confused. Is there a list somewhere that would tell us which attractions use the magicband and which ones dont

If their internet is working, they put the time on your magic band. If they are having problems accessing their program, they write out a card and give it to you. It is not ride specific.

They have been putting the DAS on the magic band for a long time I wonder if the CM was not asking for his park card because they did not see his magic band

It varies and even those attractions that normally would do the Magicbands sometimes use hand written or pre-printed return time cards for various reasons.
It could be because that attraction's iPad/iPod used to put DAS times onto Magicbands is not working, is not available or the wi-if in that area is slow or not working.

In general, attractions that are:
- rides will give a Return Time on the Magicband or park pass card.
This includes rides where the line is wheelchair accessible until close to boarding. Examples are Buzz Lightyear, Splash Mountain, Kali River Rapids, Toy Story Midway Mania.

- rides that have a different entrance for guests using wheelchairs will use a return time card for guests using wheelchairs or strollers as wheelchairs. (That is because they need a process for those guests not using DAS along with their mobility device. Examples of those rides are Jungle Cruise and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

- movies usually give a Return Time on the Magicband or park pass card.

- live shows usually give a return time card, which WILL have a window of 15-20 minutes to arrive for the show. That is because you are getting a time for a specific show. This is especially true if you are using a mobility device; the CMS need to make sure not to give out more return times for a show than they have wheelchair spots.

- character meet and greets with Fastpass will give a Return Time on the Magicband or park pass card (DAS is not used for meet and greets that don't have Fastpass.

No attraction asks for a card anymore. Either they put his return time electronically on his band, or they give him a card.

Sounds like your son was confused about what they were asking him - did he have an aide with him to help navigate these situations?

If you don't have a MB, they will ask for your ticket which is a hard plastic card in most cases. Not everyone has MBs. Many people staying off property don't spend the money to buy them.
And some people who are eligible choose not to use MBs but the plastic cards instead.

That's completely irrelevant to this conversation, as the OP already mentioned that her son had a Magic Band.
