I understand that the touring plans software will not optimize your plan if you are doing DAS. So, here are my thoughts on how to use it. LMK if anyone has any other suggestions, or refer to the number and LMK if you disagree based on experience. It’s our first time. Thank you!

Use the software to create a scenario with all the rides, shows, meals, etc that we’d hope to get in the day, and then consider that optimized plan a “worst case scenario” since theoretically, DAS should allow us to get through more things faster, assuming we are maximizing it’s use by selecting a ride and doing other things while waiting for that ride time to come up, riding that ride, and selecting the next as soon as we scan in for the first one…

I’m thinking the “minimize walking” setting would be best, since while we wait for one ride, we might be better off just doing things nearby that ride. So, for example, we get in the park and choose DAS for our top ride, then we refer to the plan map and do other rides nearby while we wait for our time to come up.

Since our plan won’t be optimized anyway, leave the setting as “yes, I want to wait longer” for the DAS pre-selects, to remind us when that timeframe is, should we choose to use it.

While in the park, check off rides as “done” and use the app to see wait times to help us choose the next DAS and optimize in real time.
