Yep they’re doing DAS, but be aware there is not a guest relations inside the land if you need to get one or add anyone to your pass. You have to exit the land to do that.

I’ll be finding out today. I have my reservation later this morning.

I have never, ever stated that one group should get special treatment over another. In fact, I have repeatedly stated the needs of all should be balanced, and in the case of Disney, I think they have done a better (though not perfect) job of achieving that to provide maximum access with the DAS...

I never said not being able to wait at all. There is a huge difference between asking someone to wait 5-10 minutes and asking someone to wait 45-60 minutes. You might be able to make some progress for daily tasks that they can at least get done in some kind of context with some kind of routine...

I’d just like to point out, every person on the spectrum is different. You can practice social norms all you want, but the ability for an individual on the spectrum to understand and respect social norms and cues is going to be highly variable. Some individuals may never make much progress on...

Sometime in the last year when I flew Southwest (I forget when exactly) I was on one of those odd flights where 30-40 people were preboarding. There were a huge number of people in wheelchairs, a few service dog teams, and a few others with mobility impairments. Most of them were preboarding...

I can guarantee you that human doctors have a better financial outlook than vets. Most vets are coming out of school with around 200k in student loan debt, and the median salary is only around 80k, and that is after practicing for years. Both are incredibly demanding fields, but people have very...

I’ve worked in the veterinary field quite a bit. The vast majority of vet hospitals are not a rip-off. The veterinary industry does not have an insurance industry supporting it. You’re paying what it costs them to do the diagnostics and procedures, and have the supplies and staff as well as the...

I have to be careful with food shows. I love to cook and bake, and food shows give me too many ideas haha! My wife and I will binge them, and whenever we travel, the first thing we do is research the best places to eat and plan the trip around that.

This is my stance. Life is short and you work hard in your life to provide for what is important to you. Never let someone make you feel bad for what you choose to do with your money because it is your life to live. Everyone has different priorities. For me personally, dining experiences are...

Be Our Guest carries a lot of noise in the main dining room. I have a hard time with it. Hoop Dee Doo Revue I spent a lot of the show with my hands over my ears due to the noise. Chef Mickeys is loud because of the monorail and it has a lot of ambient noise due to the shape of the building...

The HDHP my wife’s employer offers that we’re enrolled in is financially a much better idea with the spectrum of plans available to her. All of the plans have some form of a deductible, and the HDHP is not that much more than the next plan, particularly when the 1k her employer kicks in toward...

It really depends. I personally loathe the Disney bus transportation, but that is because I have had some pretty horrendous luck with the buses. I’m talking multiple 30-45 minute waits for buses to show up across numerous trips at all different parks and resorts across all times of the day...

I'm trying my best to follow along with your wonderful recap and analysis of what is going on (thank you so much for breaking it all down!), but I was wondering a bit more about the portion that dismissal of claims brought under California's equivalent to the ADA were not upheld by the court of...

Disneyland doesn’t keep record of your DAS on your account the same way as WDW when you need to get it re-issued. You have to go through the whole process again. I’ve had to explain my needs for a DAS at the kiosk to get it re-issued.

We waited two hours at the beginning of June for the current fireworks show to get a spot right in front of the castle. When we got there, a decent number of people were already staking out spots and 30 minutes later it was very crowded. Here is a picture of the spot we got two hours out from...

They do take walk ins at Lamplight Lounge for the restaurant portion where you get full access to the menu. We did it a few weeks ago when they opened for the day.

It really just comes down to CM training. On most party nights, the lines for most things are less than 20 minutes minus 7DMT and sometimes Space. I would hazard a guess ill-informed CMs at the rides just assume since there is no active FP+ line for the parties that the DAS doesn’t apply either...

It really depends on the CMs too. From my conversations with Guest Relations, it should be allowed if the ride has a long wait if they haven’t changed any policies in the last year. However, CMs at the attractions don’t always know this. It is frustrating. The only ride I’ve ever had to use it...

I totally agree about SW really not being low cost out of Southern California. The only time I’ve ever found it competitive is when my wife and I both need to check a bag on certain routes, and even then they were a little more expensive per person. However, we had such an abysmal experience...
