    Thanks! For a family of 4-5 with children + 10 who only drink water (my case) an option could be to order lunch or dinner in 2 separate orders (in the same or different locations) so you can order 4 alcohol drinks instead of 2. Maybe too much for a single meal and 2 adults, but with 90 degrees in the Orlando summer, to get a couple of additional beers during the day and maximize the usage of the plan could be a good idea.😅

I missed out on getting a Magic Pass which I should have gotten instead due to the fact I now how to schedule 2-3 at vacations at DL. I cannot do long stays at the Parks. Now if I want to ride ANY attractions I have to “schedule my days,” This is maddening as I can’t use that frikking app anymore!!! So I wander around, eat, shop, but rides are all but gone for me. Imagine having to stutter out: “Yes, I have Dementia. It makes me flustered having to manage this app. I cannot tolerate dark, tight places, with piercing noises. Especially when the waiting is over 35-40 minutes. I need to have abilities to just keep my day open.” I was given a Wheelchair for the day. I was alone on my trip. My days going to theme parks are almost over.

Specifically for D related diseases who are still mobile and coherent who are “starting “ to experience difficulties. Most stuff on RUclips is all geared to autistic and physically disabled people. I can still technically recognize things in my environment, but I have some inappropriate behaviors like growling in line if I get frustrated 😩 and upset. Low frustration and anger/anxiety and anger tolerance. I can handle myself right now, but in a few years that might change.

    It's too hard too get. I have a back problem called Kyphosis and I can't stand for a long time without my back hurting me. That caused me problems when I wanted to ride Rise of the Resistance. If it would just be a single lane line like it should I wouldn't have this problem. But they think since I am mobile then I don't need one. Hollywood Studios is the hardest park to get one, mostly at consumer service up front. I did get one at the smaller costumer service near the ride. A couple of years ago I had no problem getting one at Magic Kingdom and luckily that was my second Disney Park so I could use it had Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Animal Kingdom.

    I had the DAS when it was GAC and before that. We just got back from WDW and of course I was denied DAS even though I have everything from limited mobility (scooter at park) to coronary artery disease , a bleeding disorder and an autonomic nervous system disorder amongst several other disorders . The lines and stress caused my BP to go to the highest 212/102 one day. The cast members had no clue about alternatives! It was constant explanations, AND we even bought LL for everyone available to make it easier. We’re 2 of the Passholders who are giving it up. The stress is just too great anymore. I’ve been going to WDW since June 1973 and it’s just too much of everything (money, stress, planning) anymore.

    Hi there, I just I just wanted to let you know that I’ve already had Pott with my caregivers about going to Disneyland. Disney World give me and I asked her about the disability access pass and she said to me that because I am blind, hard of hearing, And I have cerebral palsy, and epilepsy, we should not have any problem with me getting denied into the park at all because the cast members will see me walking around with the companion using a cane, and they will notice that there is a blind person throughout the park And we will have to figure out how we can video chat with them, but that’ll be something gonna have to email disability access service on and I already had their email address on my phone so all I would need to do is call Disney World and ask them how we can do that And then hopefully start that out 30 days prior to arrival just to make sure that we’re all good to go and there’s nothing to worry about. We did not get a chance to go to Disney World because for one this summer, we ended up going to Jacksonville Florida instead because We, my mom and I went to the American Council of the Blind Diabetics in Action From July 4 through the 13th so we flew down on the fourth. We stayed all the way through the 13th, and then we went home so that’s why we did not get a chance to go to Disney World but, Disney World has been on my to do list for years, so now what we need to work out on is how do we make it to wear if we want to video chat 30 days prior to arrival how can we make it to where it will be more accessible for me because I cannot see for one, and I have an iPhone 14 Pro, and it has voiceover on it, and we would need to figure out how we can make it to where it be easier for that me to video chat with the cast member 30 days prior to arrival so that’s something we’re gonna have to look at a little bit and then also figure out you know what is it? We can do proof that I do have a disability you know can we call my neurologist office at the Providence epilepsy center in Spokane, and have them send an email to the disability access service explaining my disabilities or can we have, Dr. Casey docket at Providence family medicine North in Spokane email disability access service and explained to them my disabilities and limitations that they can have my needs on file prior to arrival set up when we do check in for the gas pass. That information has already been on file and all good to go so that they can see what my disability needs are on their computer screen so if you are, and if you go to Disney World next time, talk with one of the cast members, and ask them how we can work that out I know you mentioned that the new system was coming out in May and it’s already been that way ever since thenso if you guys can get in contact with one of the cast members, and get those questions you can let me know in the comments

    I was just there this past Tuesday and there are things they can change,for example bring back the smoking sections instead of having them outside the entry way and not start Mickey's not so scary Halloween party until October because celebrating Halloween Halloween in August is ridiculous and bring back The Night of Joy

      I'm not familiar with the Night of Joy, I'd love to hear more. We just went to Not So Scary on Friday and it was hot, too hot for Halloween. I agree that the Not So Scary party should wait until September and keep having the After Hours events through August.

      @@TheDisneySlowdown The Night of Joy was an annual Contemporary Christian music concert festival that they held at Magic Kingdom on Labor Day weekend and the weekend after,they would close off the park at 9:00 pm for all the church youth groups all around the state of Florida. It would go on from 9:00 pm until midnight and due to the concerts that meant shorter lines on every single ride and it was fun and it was only two weekends out of the year,it went on from 1983 to 2017, Disney did away with it supposedly to update events.

    Every park we’ve been to since July has been slam packed and absolutely unenjoyable because of it. Along with the heat. I have no idea why anyone plans to come here during the summer, November-March are cooler and usually less crowded. I truly believe they’re saying crowds are lower but they’re fudging that, Disney has become less and less enjoyable since 2016 for many reasons. 💜

      Now that we live in Florida, I don't go often in the summer either. I understand that for families that have to travel with children, summer is the best time to plan vacations. The parks appear to be packed however, based on historical wait times from previous years for July, the crowds are down.

    well, it’s not just that they’re not giving Das to people. They changed it back to the old system again. It went from having to go get a time and then returning, to a new system where it was like a lightning lane, back to the old system, where you have to wait the day of and get a time again. At least it’s not the very old system where you had to go to each ride and get a time. Because then I never knew what to do with the disabled person. In the meantime I mean, you can only eat so much and shop so much and the alternative was to stand in another lines so that made no sense at all, I think they’re just trying to push people to buy lightning lane that really doesn’t work well for the disabled because they don’t really do most of the thrill rides anyway.

      Thanks for joining me and I'm SO EXCITED for your solo trip!!! Did you see my Solo Trip video??? To answer your question, the refillable mugs are only for resorts, you can't fill them up in the park for free. You can bring them for water as they are insulated just not sure how secure the tops would be in a park bag. While you're hopping from park to park, you can stop in at resorts to get a refill. Otherwise, you might want to buy bottled drinks and use those to fill. That way you can keep ice in your mug and always have a cold drink.

Trying to keep up with their group all day was horrible. 25 of us, I did all of the fast passes and all of that. The kids will be 7 & 8 when I plan to take them early 2026. My eldest has special needs and I am unsure if she will qualify for DAS or exhibit the behavior she does that makes us iffy on line waiting for long periods at that time, will be binging this channel!! At this point I am looking at just doing MK and Epcot in 2026, and then try to go again 2028 when whatever they actually build from d23 is finished and they’re older and those other 2 parks are more their speed.

Its sad that this is not a friendly, family experience for families anymore. As far as having to show "proof", here in the U.S., it is actually against the law for them to make a person prove a disability, unless you have witness that person blatantly being completely capable.

    Thank you so much for your video! I've appreciated reading everyone's comments on Disney's DAS Pass. I don't know if I qualify for DAS for a while yet. My big issues are IBS (bathroom needs) and sun exposure (Sjogren's Disease) while in line. I also have severe spinal stenosis, but I know I won't get a DAS for that because I can take my rollator (or, if I end up needing it, a scooter) in the line, which is fine with me. I do not want to jump the line. I'm happy to wait like everyone else, but if I can do it in a shady area, that would be great. I won't need to worry about roller coasters since I plan to avoid thrill rides that might put too much pressure on my spine. All said I'm assuming I won't get a DAS. We'll see. Either way, I love Disney and can hardly wait to go!
