The use of the DAS has tripled In the past five years, Disney officials have revealed a conversation with Nexstar Digital Journalist Scott Gustin . The increase in the popularity of the program is, in part, due to social media. However, although some families have openly shared how the DAS program had a positive impact on their Disney experience, other users, who do not meet the requirements of the program, have marketed DAS as secret hacking to avoid long lines .
According to Ktla, there was a wave of Videos "Disneyland Line Hack" Shared on social networks directly linked to the DAS of parks. In these clips, parkgoers show how other visitors can take advantage of the DAS to deceive long lines without paying for services such as Lighting Lane and Genie +.
