Thanks Jason. I think they did a great job with this and it will be helpful to many. Maybe we can sticky this?

*Note*: Although referenced in a Disney Parks article released today (4/2/18), the matrix appears to only be current through Late 2016.

Just wanted to mention that this is still relevant for those with upcoming trips with children/adults with ASD or similar disabilities. When we visited 10/2020, we had a notation attached to our party's magic band and it allowed us to "wait" in line outside of the queue instead of with the crowd because my son wouldn't be able to handle the noise and crowd for a prolonged period. Then they just scan you in when your time in the queue is up. It works great and was so helpful.

I'm assuming that this is a thing that is no longer offered.

I did a little digging and discovered that DAS is still available. The question I now have is would you still bother with Genie if you used DAS?
