In a previous article, I discussed some potential strategies for maximizing use of the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass (LLMP). Unfortunately, at the time, there was no real world data on LLMP. Therefore that article was very speculative. However, now that we have real world experience with Disney's new skip the line system, it makes sense to revisit this topic. Lightning Lane Multi Pass in Review Let's first review some of the key characteristics of Lightning Lane Multi Pass. LLMP lets you essentially skip the line of selected rides. More accurately, you can use the Lightning Lane to access the…

Our Experience Registering for the NEW Disability Access Service

WDW With Disabilitiesdisabilities, disability access service, walt disney world

As we previously reported, Disney has revamped the rules for its Disability Access Service (DAS). In particular, qualifying for DAS has become much harder: DAS is intended to accommodate only those Guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar disorder, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period of time. Disney narrowed the criteria for qualifying due to widespread abuse by people with low morals. Previously, people with wide spectrum of invisible disabilities were granted DAS. However, because Disney does not require any sort of medical documentation, it was easy for people to…
