Question about DAS and FP+

[Wendydagny]

Are there any FP+ attractions where the FP+ entrance is not accessible and it would be more appropriate to use my daughter's DAS card for entry? The rides I'm thinking this may prove to be an issue on would be:
Small World
Peter Pan
Spaceship Earth
Splash Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

I just don't want to use a FP+ on one of these, to only be told I need a return time due to dd's wheelchair/access needs.

Thanks!

Splash Mountain is considered a Mainstream Line - both the Fastpass and regular line are accessible to the point of reaching a flight of stairs. At that point, you would be sent to an area without stairs.
Fastpass Return or DAS Return Time would both be sent the same way - starting in the Fastpass return line.

I have not been on the others yet since the DAS card began, but the only one with space to take people out of order to board if they have DAS would be Spaceship Earth.
The others you listed are not accessible (at least at this point) thru the regular or Fastpass lines. Spaceship Earth has a very large area for waiting; what they have done in the past was just take names on a clipboard as people arrive who need that entrance. You wait in the area and they call people in order to bring yo the exit goes boarding. It worked well before and I don't know if having a DAS time would change that process.

Peter Pan would be one I would use das because it be the same fast pass plus line as it was for fast pass.

That is true of all lines at WDW - the Fastpass Plus line and the Fastpass lines are the same.

What we have been told is that if you have Fastpass Plus or. DAS Return Time, and you have a visible mobility need (like a wheelchair), you will be routed to the appropriate place. For those attractions that the OP listed, it will be somewhere other than the Fastpass line because they are not accessible.

At WDW, the DAS Return Times are given at the attraction, so you can ask there what the route will be when you are getting a Return Time

I can tell you that we rode Toy Story Midway Mania and Buzz Lightyear each twice earlier this week using a DAS Return TIme once and Fastpass Plus the other time. We were handled exactly the same both times - enter thru Fastpass line even our time had come, then routed to the accessible boarding area.
We rode Kali River Rapids yesterday with Fastpass Plus and were routed to the accessible boarding area after going thru the Fastpass line.

From what I have been told, having a FP or FP+ time is essentially the same thing as having a Return Time written in the DAS. You would not be given an additional return time, even if you need the accessible entrance, as long as you are coming back within your window of time die the FP/FP+

I had booked FP+ for Big Thunder on Oct 13. However, the CM did not know what to do with us since my daughter is in a wheelchair. She tried to give us a return card based on the wait time (this was NOT using our DAS card).

It took a while to make her understand that we should not get this b/c we already had FP+ booked. Otherwise, it would be wasting our FP+. i don't know if she fully understood, as she wrote the wait time on the card but then wrote the time it was then as our return time. Fortunately, the CM at the exit understood what we were trying to do.

This was one of several mis-steps by cast members the two days we were there.
