Can you use DAS and Genie Plus?

If you've also added Genie+ to your tickets for the day, you'll be able to make your first Lightning Lane selection starting at 7 a.m. You can continue to make both DAS and Lightning Lane selections for available attractions throughout the day - as soon as you use one, you'll be able to make another!



Yes, you can absolutely use DAS (Disability Access Service) and Disney Genie+ together in 2026, and many savvy travelers consider this the "high-value" way to maximize a Disney day. These are two completely separate and independent systems. DAS is a free accommodation for guests who have difficulty waiting in a standard queue for extended periods due to a developmental disability; it allows you to request a "return time" for a ride based on the current wait. Genie+ (now officially known as Lightning Lane Multi Pass) is a paid service that allows you to book specific "Lightning Lane" entry windows for attractions. By using both, you can effectively "double-dip"—holding a DAS return time for one major ride like Rise of the Resistance while using your Genie+ reservation for another like Slinky Dog Dash. This strategy is a peer-to-peer favorite for families looking to minimize standing in line while ensuring they can experience every "must-do" attraction without physical or mental exhaustion.

I highly recommend utilizing the DAS Advance process before your trip. Our trip will be at a crowded time in the parks, and not having to head to guest services is certainly a plus. The fact that the wait times in the virtual queue are lower makes it much easier on families to be able to plan for this process.

The process is similar to getting a Lightning Lane, but with a few key differences. When someone registered with DAS wants to ride a ride, they select that ride and are given a return time based on the length of the current standby line. Then, they return at the appointed time and use the Lightning Lane for boarding.
