DAS with Genie+ and LL

[sandrews0608]

So I have a trip planned for January. This is my first trip since being diagnosed with a chronic illness that should qualify me for a DAS. I understand you get the 2 ahead if you do the video chat. I am just wondering if anyone will also utilize Genie+ and LL on top of DAS. Will the system allow you to have your 2 LL that can be made a 7 am( staying on site) and your 2 premade DAS as well as then your first Genie+. Seems like a lot to figure out and keep straight. This trip is only my daughter and I so if it makes the trip easier I would consider doing both DAS and Genie+ if it allows you to hold both at the same time. Would love to hear if anyone else is thinking of trying this.

All 3 are separate programs and can be used in any combination:
DAS
Genie+
I$LL

Genie+ is essentially FP+. Contrary to what I've seen some folks post, DAS does not give you Genie+ for free. DAS is as always -- wait the equivalent to the posted standby time but you can do that elsewhere -- take a restroom break, snack break, shop, ride another attraction, etc. So if you liked using FP+, and refreshing throughout the day to get more, you may want to add Genie+. MK has the most Genie+ attractions and AK has the least, so your decision may also depend on what rides you want to do each day.

The Individual paid LL attractions (I'm struggling with that acronym!) are available for DAS return times, except for Remy which requires a Virtual Queue (Boarding Group). You will tie up the DAS for the length of the standby queue for these attractions, so if that is long you may want to purchase a specific ride time rather than tie-up DAS for several hours. It really depends on your preferences.

Wow, that would be a lot of return times, if I am reading this right:

1. Advance DAS Selection 1
2. Advance DAS Selection 2
3. Day of DAS Return Time
4. Genie+ Return Time
5. Individual Lightning Lane Return Time 1
6. Individual Lightning Lane Return Time 2
7. Virtual Queue (Remy at present, so only works at EPCOT)

If you pay for for Genie+ and two Individual Lightning Lane Return Times and use a Virtual Queue, you could theoretically have 7 return times at once. No wonder why Disney has put such strong wording about lying to obtain a DAS and made it clear that they will not tolerate it.

Of course this drops down to a total of 2 (maybe 3 if the Genie+ return time is too far out) return times at a time after using the Advance DAS selections, Individual Lightning Lane Return Times and Virtual Queue, but by that point you will have a done a lot of the attractions anyway.

I do wonder though if doing this isn't a way to fend off some of the lawsuits that have been out there around the DAS, it definitely should make it easier on those that can't stay as long in the parks, albeit they will require a lot more planning to pull it off.

I’m very worried about people having this misconception, and that it might lead to people trying to abuse the system to get it

I’m going to close this thread since it was a specific question that has been answered.
