Is Das at Disney worth it?

Honestly, the DAS feature in MDE is a game changer. It prevents you from having to go to the attraction itself to obtain a return time. You can control your day from wherever you are provided the app is working correctly. It makes the parks that much more accessible for those who need the service.

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.

Tips for the DAS Pass
  1. Have a My Disney Experience account connected with everyone in your travel party before you go. ...
  2. The guest the DAS is assigned to must always ride.
  3. Anyone in your family (or traveling party) can make the return time- you do NOT all have to be there, not even the guest with the DAS.

This service works by providing guests with a return time for rides that is equal to the current standby time. So for example, if Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has a 60-minute wait time then the DAS user will return to the attraction in 60 minutes and then will use the Lightning Lane to experience the ride.

I just want to assure those with IBS that you can indeed get a DAS pass. I got my pass this morning and have my ride reservations. It wasn't hard at all and took maybe a minute or two. I did wait for nearly a half hour to talk to someone, and I called about two minutes after seven, but the actual call was very short.
