This thread may have some good information for you: How does DAS work with Maxpass?.
Your DAS return time will also show up on your app, so you won't have to keep track of a slip of paper. It won't be in the same place as your MP return times (I'm almost certain it was in a different place! "My Events"?). And when you return to the FP line, just scan your ticket or AP like you would for a regular FP. Have the DAS holder (the one whose photo is on the DAS) scan first every time. The scanner will turn blue (not green or red like it would for a FP). The attending CM will stop your party, check that the photo on the hand held matches the person scanning, then allow you through. Each person attached to the DAS must scan at that time. The CM will check the names and how many people are in your group. And that's it! Easy!
Don't worry about booking a FP with MP while you are holding a DAS return time. You should be able to do this without any problem.
Does all this make sense? Keep asking if you have more questions!
FP is actually very helpful at Space and Splash. You can either get a FP or a return time. A return time is the length of the standby line. So you go to the exit, get a return time, then return during the return time to be placed in the HA queue. If you have MaxPass, you can get a pass while across the park, then you return when your pass comes up. Big difference. Same with Splash.For a lot of rides, FP will not be helpful. Like for Space mountain, you go in the exit, and they have you wait in a little area. Same with splash mountain. You go through the exit. There are only a few rides in DL that you can use the regular lines in a scooter.
Even better! Thank you!You can do it by phone if you call the AP number: (714) 781-7277

No, they add it to each person's ticket media. And each ticket can only have 1 return time at a time.Hmmm. They must do it differently now then. We haven't been in a couple years. They never used to give return times, they always just let us through the exits etc.
Do you know if you can have a wheelchair and DAS return time at the same time for the same party? (One person will have DAS, different person on a scooter) This sounds like it is going to make our days super complicated.

It started about 2 years ago. It is really an improvement. (Yes, I was fearful when it was first announced, but it has worked out well, especially since the disabled can now use FP too!) Yes, people would rent scooters and wheelchairs to try and bypass the lines, which meant some lines really backed up (mainly Pirates and Splash.) Now, everyone is on an even footing. You go to the HA area, and they will scan all the ticket media, and give you a return time of the standby time -10 mins. If the standby is 10 mins, they queue you then. When you return, you enter the queue for the HA line. Works very well. Just combine it with FP or MP and you will be fine!
