Prebooking DAS

[AC7179]

I have researched and I think I have answers to all my questions except the following.

1. Are we allowed to Prebook 2 DAS selections per day of our trip? Or just the first day?
2. If we are running late one morning and miss a prebooked window, they are available after the posted window time, correct?
3. Do the prebooked ones run independently of what you book in the park, or do you have to wait until both prebooked ones are used before you book in the park?

For example, on our arrival day, I think we will do Jungle Cruise and Indy. If I make the windows at 11 and noon, for example, if we enter the park at one pm because of travel delays, are the two prebooked ones still good? When could I book my first in-park one?

Thanks, everyone. You have all been so helpful!

My family hasn't used the new DAS system, but here is my understanding of the answers to your questions:

1.) Yes. 2 pre-booked DAS selections EACH day.
2.) No. Once the 1-hour window is closed for a pre-book DAS, the CM is not supposed to let you on the attraction. But, I have read several threads that some CMs have let people on attractions post-booking window and other CMs have instructed CMs that they are wrong to do so. In my opinion, if you miss your window, you should assume you lost your pre-booked DAS. Hope that a CM will let you on is not a good plan.
3.) Yes. Pre-booked DAS operates independently of in-park DAS bookings. You may use both during the park day and you do not need to exhaust your pre-booked DAS before in-park booking.

As for your example, your entry into DL is at the close of the Indy pre-booking and beyond JC pre-booking. You should not expect to ride either. I'd recommend asking for pre-booked times starting 1-hour after your entry into the DL park just to be safe that you can get through security, past the tapstiles and to the designated land with sufficient times.

My DD takes an oral chemo for her underlying health condition and she has some significant side effects from the Rx and therefore we try our best hedge our bets by 30 minutes with reservations in case of a side effect flare up.

1. Yes you can prebook for all days (I'm unclear if that starts 30 days from your first day or 30 days for each day you are going though).

2. No, once your window expires you can't use them. That's what the cast member told me at least (although I never tried it). I'm pretty sure the option disappeared from my phone when the window ended. We had more than one we didn't use because they were far away from where we were or we already rode them when it was more convenient.

3. Yes they are totally independent. We were able to book our first DAS on the app once we scanned into the park. But beware that it can take 10-15 minutes for the DAS option to show up on your app. If you are park hopping, you can't book the other park on the app, but you can at Guest Services.

The times available were very limited when I called, but it was also close to when we were traveling. We were offered basically morning times or afternoon and I found it hard to plan, which is why we didn't use some of ours. We pre-booked Soarin', Millenium Falcon, Haunted Mansion, and Buzz Lightyear. I never even booked any for our last day. Indy, Jungle Cruise, Matterhorn, and Space were not available any of our days.
