    Adding 5 peoples tickets to MY apple wallet

    I keep my tickets in google wallet, but they're my third choice. I use magicbands (or a card, if I don't feel like the band) then the app, then google wallet. It's just because in google wallet I have to work a little harder to get the right card.

    DAS Question Ride booking

    Usually you can book during early entry. Not all rides post times immediately, but the major rides usually have times available within 5-10 minutes of early opening.

    Best Gluten free snacks

    Your choices for chicken tenders are: DHS - Backlot Express or Rosie's All American Epcot - Connections Cafe MK - Columbia Harbor House or Pinocchio Village Haus AK: Restaurantasaurus They all have the same chicken. It might be tenders or nuggets, but there's no way to know in advance which...

    Gender Neutral Bathroom options - any updates?

    I agree that it's a band aid solution. I'm off the opinion that stalls should all lack gaps, and be safe for everyone. It helps with the uneven wait times too. Our intent is to use the companion restrooms when available (and they generally are available) and to go into the restroom as a pack...

    Wheelchair comfort

    Oh, thanks for the heads up on potential lack of adjustability. I'll reach out now, while we can still easily make changes. An office chair back rest plus some padding seems like the best option for decreasing seat pan. I might be able to tuck an ice pack in there too, which would be good for...

    Wheelchair comfort

    My mom will be in a wheelchair for the first time on our next trip. We're renting an offsite manual chair, and I'd like to make sure it's comfortable for her. She's small (both short and lightweight) so I'll make sure we adjust the footrests to be the right height. I'm getting her a cupholder...

    Adding 5 peoples tickets to MY apple wallet

    Yup! There will be much groaning and sighing and trying to go around. It's just not a good answer for any circumstances.

    Adding 5 peoples tickets to MY apple wallet

    No, Bluetooth isn't a subset of NFC. NFC (near field communication) is it's own thing. NFC is a much shorter range (10-20cm vs 1m+) and transfers less data, but uses much less power than Bluetooth. Apple products also use NFC for apple pay, which is why you need to get the watch or phone close...

    Adding 5 peoples tickets to MY apple wallet

    On Android it's NFC. I only mention this because at one point my husband's phone case blocked NFC. Everything looks like it works in the software, but no joy. If your phone doesn't support NFC you can't use magic mobile.

    Osprey Daypack?

    Which Osprey are you thinking about? Mine has zip-close water bottle pockets. They aren't super tall, but will accomodate slightly more than a standard 16oz water bottle. My husband has the taller/lower volume version of the same bag and it has open bottle pockets, but with good elastic. I...

    DAS at WDW vs. DLR

    Today I learned, thanks! Looking at touring plans data, I suspect the issue is that I haven't been in tommorrowland after 11am in 15 years. I'll go back and amend my earlier post so no one gets confused. :)

    DAS at WDW vs. DLR

    I've never tried to book a das for TTA, because there's never been a queue, so maybe I'm wrong! There's no alternate or LL entrance. There usually isn't a CM at the bottom of the speedramp and there's not really much queue at the top. Maybe when the parks are really busy there's a CM at the...

    DAS at WDW vs. DLR

    If there is a LL, you'll typically go through it. Rides without a LL are Tomorrowland Transit Authority (I don't think there's a way to get a DAS either) (You can totally get a DAS, though!) , Astro-Orbiter and Triceratops Spin. There might be a few more, but the vast majority of attractions...

    Crohns and DAS = denied. MODERATOR NOTE: No diagnosis is automatically allowed or denied for DAS. DAS is issued based on needs, not diagnosis

    https://disneyland.disney.go.com/media/dlr_nextgen/SiteCatalog/PDF/Disneyland_Disabilities_Guide_09112015.pdf The mobility access options were usually the best/easiest for CMs way to join your party near loading.

    Virtual Queues with DAS guests

    It's hard to tell if there's a technological reason they couldn't convert a VQ return time to a DAS return time, or if it's just policy. IMO, advance selections are above and beyond, so it's easier for me to stay I don't care about not getting the extra benefit. More importantly, advance...

    Virtual Queues with DAS guests

    This part of the conversation belongs in Rumors and News, not the disability forum. I'd be glad to discuss it with you there. But right now we're not talking about letting regular park guests return anytime. That's the primary benefit DAS-fraud is currently after, so I'd say it changes the...

    Virtual Queues with DAS guests

    I think casting this as "DAS should not be immune to following the rules" is misleading. The nature of DAS is that it accommodates people who can't enjoy full and equal enjoyment of the parks without it. By definition, DAS changes the rules for the holder. Disney has very, very good data on...

    Virtual Queues with DAS guests

    I find that many things at WDW are ultimately flexible. If riding Tron is a major part of your son's enjoyment of the theme park, it's probably worth asking at guest relations or a blue umbrella if an exception can be made based on his specific circumstances. You may need to explain why a 1 hour...

    Jet Blue

    The amount of space is going to vary by aircraft type. It looks like Jetblue mostly has at least 32" of pitch (the space between a point on one seat and the same point on the seat ahead) which is one of the most generous seat spacings currently available for economy. I don't know how much help...

    First trip with a teen on the spectrum

    We use the tip board a lot to see what's near us with a short wait. It might be worth firing up the Disney app in advance and seeing what typically has shorter waits through the day and how those rides might play into any sensory concerns. As far as chicken tenders and fries - things change...
