I thought I would share our experience with pre-registration for our upcoming trip!
Last Saturday we logged on to MDE and chatted to request pre-registration for DAS at 9am. Around 2:30pm a CM came on and chatted to see if we qualified, basically asking when our travel dates were. Once we got through that, we were transferred to the queue for video chat. Finally, around 4:30pm we were connected with a CM via video chat. Very easy, pleasant experience. The CM was very helpful, quickly qualifying us for DAS. Remember that whomever in your family you are signing up for DAS must be present, as they briefly talk to them (just to say hello, nothing too personal) and take their picture. Once the video chat ended, we were transferred to chat with another CM to set up advance selections for up to 2 attractions per day of our trip. Keep in mind, those attractions with individual lightning lanes (Flight of Passage, Rise of the Resistance, etc) do not qualify for these pre-selections. We got most of the selections we wanted, but some attractions were not available (Slinky Dog Dash, Soarin come to mind).
We were able to set up: Epcot - Spaceship Earth and Mission Space, MK- Jungle Cruise and Peter Pan's Flight, Studios - Smugglers Run and Toy Story Mania, AK- Dinosaur and Kilamanjaro Safari.
So, the pre-registration took a total of over 7.5 hours. When you go to set it up, make sure you are able to be close to your computer for quite a bit of time. The website also kept kicking us off and we had to re-sign in every 30 minutes or so. We did not lose our place in line, and the CM stated this is a known problem others are having. Have backup attractions in case the ones you want are filled up. The CM reminded us that once we enter a park, we will be able to make another DAS selection, the 2 you set up prior are "bonus". You can set up DAS at guest relations the day of park visit, but you would not be able to have the 2 bonus attraction selections. Once you qualify for DAS, it is good for 60 days, and it is good to up to 6 members of your party. If you have more, you can try to add them the day of your park visit, according to the CM.
Besides the time it took, this was a very pleasant experience. If you have someone in your party or family that you believe would qualify for this, I highly recommend you do it!
