Lines without Lightning Lane

[SarahC97]

I think I probably already know the answer to this, but I thought I'd reach out to you experts. What happens in lines that don't have a LL when you have DAS? I'm thinking specifically of things such as Peoplemover or experiences like Club Cool that can, at certain times, have pretty big waits. I'm guessing we just have to wait until the line dies down and try it, right? There's no way to avoid waiting in line for these experiences? Thanks!

You can ask at the attraction whether they have any accommodations for DAS.
Our personal experience is that the CM will either suggest a time It‘s generally less busy or have the person with DAS and one person wait nearby outside the line and join the rest of the party waiting in line when they get to the front.

Waiting for your party to go through the queue at TTA (Peoplemover) and have you join them at the front would be very difficult - the strolller/ECV parking is right there on one side, and the queue covers most of the other two sides. The ramp takes up the 4th side. We had a party try that when we were there in August - there's a lot of having to go through other people or squeezing between a dozen strollers. The way that queue is set up, I'm not sure you could even get to the CM that would know to let you through when it's really crowded. I haven't been to the new Club Cool, but I'm not sure they do anything like this because isn't it just a shop with free soda? It's not really an attraction.

the People mover dose allow the DAS you go to where you exit and talk to the CM that is letting people go up the ramp for a return time

club cool when I was there the wait was not that long to just get in line and wait

I‘ve seen people do it multiple times. There is usually a CM at the area where the line starts. That is where they asked and were told to have most of their group get into line and the person with DAS and one other join them when they get toward the front of the line - not right at the place where guests go up the moving ramp.

By your explanation, there would be no place for the group coming back to use their DAS Return Time to get in,

Club Cool is a shop and has free soda, the same as before it moved. It’s not a large store though and has a waiting line outside of the building because they are limiting capacity.

I didn't mean Club Cool specifically, really -- it was just all I could think of at the time. I suppose maybe the ride in the Mexico Pavillion might have been a better example. I'm just trying to prepare because I am going Thanksgiving week and I know it's going to be crowded. Thanks, everyone!

When you are inside the park, open My Disney Experience and tap the 3 lines on the bottom right menu bar. Then scroll down to show the DAS tile. When you tap on that tile, it will bring up a list of DAS eligible attractions.
If the one you want is listed, you can make a DAS Return Time.
If it’s not listed, go to the CM by the attraction and ask what accommodation they may have for DAS.
Specifically for Mexico, it has a wheelchair bypass on the far left side of the queue because wheelchairs can’t negotiate the back and forth regular queue. There will be a CM at the entrance to the bypass that you can ask.
My DD uses a wheelchair; sometimes we are directed right into the wheelchair bypass and sometimes sent to wait in the extended queue (in front of the indoor restaurant) before going into the wheelchair bypass.

The boat ride has an alternate entrance the you will go through at your return time.

People mover and the boat ride in Mexico will give you a return time(or let you right on if it is slow). You just talk to the cast members there and they will let you know how they are doing it at that time. The boat ride takes you down along the wall the way the wheelchairs go. And the people mover return place is right by the ramp.
