Is the DAS pass better than Genie Plus?

The DAS pass isn't an express pass like Genie + is, you will be given a return time based on the actual standby wait time. So you will need Genie + if you want to get on rides quicker. My friend qualifies for DAS and we did an October trip without it (the weekend of Halloween though) and it really wasn't great.

DAS does not require any additional purchase with the Disney Genie+ system. Any attraction with a standby queue can issue DAS return times. Only certain attractions are available for pre-arrival Advance Selections, but all attractions are available day-of.

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.

While there is no specific list of what disabilities qualify for DAS at Disney World, some common conditions that may be approved for a DAS Pass include ADHD, autism, or anxiety.

“The cast member was so rude and condescending and denied me the DAS,” the Guest recalled. “So, I went in February, ended up passing out in line to Soarin' and was just generally miserable while standing and waiting in lines because I was afraid I'd pass out again.”

Instead of waiting in line, the guest and their party use the DAS pass to schedule a return time to ride attractions. The guest may use the Lightning Lane entrance (the old FASTPASS Return entrance), the ride's exit or an alternate line, depending on the ride.

Use DAS if Eligible: Disney's Disability Access Pass (DAS) is available for Rise of the Resistance for guests who qualify. Disney recently unveiled changes to DAS that make it easier to enroll on the app before your arrival. (Note that in order to ride the attraction, guests must be able to transfer.)

You can use the DAS to go on any one ride as many times as you'd like. There's been some confusion because with the Genie+ plan you can only use it for each ride one time that day. However, it's not the same with the DAS. With DAS you can repeat rides as many times as you'd like.

Consider a disability assistance card. The card allows you to go to an attraction and get a set time to come back and experience the ride. There are two ways to register for DAS: (1) pre-arrival via live video chat or (2) on-site at any theme park guest relations window. You don't need a doctor's note.

MORE DETAILS

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.

In terms of what to say to get a DAS pass, start by explaining why waiting in extended queues would be difficult for you. For example: “I experience ___________ which makes tolerating long lines difficult.” “When I'm in line for a long period of time, ___________ happens.”

Here are the rides that are only available to book the day of your visit and are not available ahead of time:

  • EPCOT: Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After.

You can only have one at a time, and it's good until you use it (that same day only). Once you redeem your active return time, you can get another one. There is no limit to how many times in a day you can use the DAS system.

Disney World's DAS system works on all rides at the theme parks including those without a Lightning Lane and the Individual Lightning Lane attractions. For attractions that do not have Lightning Lane, just simply ask a cast member and they will typically direct you to enter through the exit of an attraction.
