Hello,
Wait times vary, but recently the waits have been very short; probably because this is not a particularly busy time for WDW visits.
Thank you - I'll give this a shot later today and see what happens! Not sure I'm willing to let me son stay up in the case they don't come on past 9:00, but we will see!
Your list looks correct. All of those attraction other than Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind are available for DAS Return Times on the day of visit. All guests are required to get into the Virtual Queue/ Boarding Groups to ride Guardians of the Galaxy
You start the same way you did yesterday, by logging in at the website, accepting the Terms and Conditions and then tapping/clicking the same button as yesterday to request a video chat.
Very poor suggestion. While WDW does have wheelchairs for guest use at some attractions, namely those requiring a person to transfer from an ECV to a wheelchair to use in queue, they are not intended for use through out the park. That would mean another guest who cannot walk the queue needs to wait for a wheelchair if one disappears. I'm not even sure if a guest would be allowed to exit the attraction with it.
I thought that was a strange suggestion. I agree with you, I can't imagine you would even be allowed to remove the wheelchairs from the ride area. When she suggested it, I thought maybe this was a new offering since our last visit, but since I hadn't heard anything, I figured she was just giving bad information. It's not worth renting a wheelchair for us, because it would only need to be used at the end of a long day, if at all. As long as we can walk slowly and take breaks, we should be fine. Thanks for the confirmation
Thanks for this update. I'm glad you could do more than 7 days and all at once.Got registered for DAS this morning. Got right on at 7:00 AM. Joined 'connected queue' at 7:07 AM, and waited until 7:40 AM before actually starting the process. Video chat confirmed DAS eligibility within a couple of minutes. Cast member actually helped me get my advance DAS selections too (while still on video chat). At first the cast member stated that I could only do any 7 days of my 10 days, but the cast member was able (and willing) to book for all 10 days. BTW, I'm at 29 days from first park visit.
Fairly recently. First reports of the limit seem to have been within the past couple of weeks, maybe a month ago. Nothing stated on the WDW website, and someone this morning was able to book 10 days. So it's still a case of YMMV.

The first ‘restrictions’ that people reported were being able to only make DAS Advance Selections for the park days that were between 30 and 2 days of the call. That is the only information about timing that is on the Disney website.
It doesn't hurt to ask. On a recent trip in June I became ill as we were leaving the park and spent about an hour in the restroom at the IG exit at Epcot (near the skyliner). A security guard (not a cast member but the actually security guard that was still posted at the entrance) asked my waiting family if they needed assistance and they explained I was ill and they were waiting for me and that we were staying at the Boardwalk. He was truly an angel because he came back within a few minutes with a wheelchair and told them to see if that would help. It was the only way I could have left the park that night! They put me in the wheelchair and quickly got me back to the Boardwalk. They asked him where they needed to return it and he told them to just leave it with the Boardwalk cast members and they would take care of it. He said they try to keep them available throughout the park for this type of thing when originally a person didn't think they'd need one. So - it's worth asking if you get tired, etc. Don't push it beyond the point of no return - which is basically what I did that night. The next day I rented one at guest services upon arrival, as normal procedure. But it was an interesting learning point about Disney and how they do try to proactively anticipate mobility needs that might not have been planned for at the parks. Good luck!
I was denied use (well, to be fair, after pleading our case in a friendly manner the cast member ultimately allowed us through but said it was an exception and that normally they couldn't) of an advanced DAS selection when we were about 30 minutes late for it. It was for a medical reason associated with why I have a DAS. The cast member explained that normal DAS rides you book at the park can be used any time during or after the stated return time, however the advanced DAS rides are like a bonus they give you to preregister and save extra time needed by their cast members at guest services when you arrive. They are very limited in nature (unlike the "day of " DAS selections that never run out until park close) and given out based on numbers and time slots to avoid overcrowding - which is why if you wait beyond your 30 days window your selection and return times will be greatly limited. So definitely try to get there during the time slots for all pre-booked DAS rides.
