Getting return times at WDW

[LauraluvsDisney2]

I apologize if this question has already been asked....
We have just planned a trip to WDW in June. This will be our first time going since the change to the new DAS card system. We have annual passes to DLR and have a pretty good handle on the system there with the kiosks and I feel like it works pretty good for us. I am concerned with having to go to the actual attraction at WDW for return times, I read that you can also get return times at the FP+ kiosks. Can anyone confirm this is true?
The other thing that works well at DLR is the fact that you can get a return time for a ride in the other park so while you're walking across by the time you get there it is time to ride. Is this something they do at WDW for park hopping? Like if we went to guest services before we went to another park can they give us a time there for another park?

Thanks in advance for any answers. I just want to make sure I'm not expecting something that can't happen and prepare so our trip will go as smoothly as possible

At this point, no.
But, that is something people think might be planned for the future.
At WDW, the person on the DAS has to be there when it is used, but someone else in your group could take the DAS to the attraction and get a Return Time without that person.

The other thing that works well at DLR is the fact that you can get a return time for a ride in the other park so while you're walking across by the time you get there it is time to ride.

No.
At DLR, the 2 parks are in easy walking distance. At WDW, the only parks you could walk between are Epcot and the Studio, and they are at least a fast 20-30 minute walk (or boat ride) away from each other.

If you switch parks, plan on a 45-90 minute travel time to get from one to the other.

The program works fairly similar at WDW, but there are those few differences because of how WDW and DLR resorts are different.

If you have not read it, there is a DAS FAQs thread for WDW near the top of this board. The first post in that thread is the FAQs.

If you have a smartphone, the My Disney Experience app will be helpful with maps and wait times.
