With the updated DAS system at Disney World there are so many new things to learn. Did you know there are limitations with certain Disney World attractions?
DAS
Disney recently updated the Disability Access Service (DAS for short). While there are certainly some major improvements, there are also some serious frustrations. Many Guests are delighted to be able to pre-choose two attractions per day. However, the process to do that can be very burdensome.
Joe outlines some of those frustrations HERE, and Kate discusses whether you should register ahead of time or wait until your trip HERE.
There are some limitations with pre-registration. The biggest is probably the fact that not every ride at Disney World is available to select ahead of time. Typically, any attraction that utilizes Individual Lightning Selections (ILLS for short) cannot be booked ahead of time.

Limitations
These attractions are what I want to talk about today. You may remember that earlier this year Disney announced some attractions would move from ILLS to Genie+. This means instead of purchasing the ride a la carte, they can be booked using the Genie+ service which is a flat fee.
Those rides include Space Mountain, Frozen Ever After, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. This goes through the end of summer, and it is essentially a way for Disney to spread out return time availability. Read more about this HERE.
You may or may not naturally assume that those attractions would now be available to select ahead of time when pre-registering for DAS. That is actually not the case. While these attractions have moved to Genie+ they have not moved over for DAS.
This means you still cannot select Space Mountain, Frozen Ever After, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway ahead of time with DAS even though they are now Genie+ attractions.
Now you may already know that, and great! However, this is useful information for Guests who are registering for DAS ahead of their trip and were not aware of the limitations still in place.
How has your experience gone with DAS pre-registration? Do you think these three attractions should be eligible for advanced selections now? Let us know in the comments below and on Facebook.

Can you use DAS with these attractions once being checked into the park?

Das is for cognitive disabilities since the queues can accommodate physical disabilities. It’s more for those whose minds can’t tolerate long wait times. Most theme parks around the nation only accommodate autism/intellectual type disabilities and not physical ones though so I don’t fault Disney.
