its not a hot spot.I would love this I go alone and often when it is crowded I can not get a return time. I think it could be doable as I have seen CM restart the system and go to park then ride then it pops up. ( yes I am sure it would be more then just that) but I think there has to be something like a hot spot where the FP entrance is where you have to be 15 or 30 feet and then you could only sign up for that ride so that you could not pass through a second mickey and then get another DAS while still in line. but do I think it will happen not any time soon that is for sure
but, it would be a wi-fi access point, no different than accessing wi-fi anywhere else.Oh sorry for the confusion I know it is not a hot spot I was just saying to prevent gust from getting a DAS return time early like at home or while waiting in another line they would have to do something at have a hot spot
i certainly understand and sympathize with you.The only reason I am hoping it happens someday is the problem of going to the ride to get a return time. After this trip it will often be just my DS and I, so no runner to avoid a possible "I want to ride now" situation.
Yes I know sue I also know that they will more then likely not allow this but with technology these days I can see them be able to do something for people like myself who have a hard time getting a return time or for the single parent do I think it will happen soon no do I think it could every happen slight chancebut, it would be a wi-fi access point, no different than accessing wi-fi anywhere else.

for the most part the DAS works great for me I go enough that if I am having a bad day it is no big deal, but there have been times ( like at BTMRR or space) I physically can not get any where near the FP entrance let alone tell the CM that I would like a return time but this only happens a few times a year. I think even thought the FP are going to be on the phone there will still be people getting it from the kiosk like those that do not have smart phones, batteries died do not know how. but I think maybe they could let people with a DAS card get a return time at the kiosk in the land like tomorrow land you can do space or buzz but could not get one for BTMRR.That would be really cool if Disney could set up hotspots that let you sign up for something. It would probably work like shopkick- I have an app that if I go near enough a box on the wall in various stores I get points (eventually they add up to a bunch of $2 gift cards... not super exciting by any means) but I can't even imagine the nightmare of trying to work all the issues if they started it up. This is Disney's tech department we are talking about.
That is a really great solution if they could get the technology to be reliable enough. Once the FP+ stands aren't being used so much because of phone access, maybe they would be able to make those ones useful for this, even if you just had to go to certain stands for certain rides... then again it would turn into "crap I walked all the way to the wrong stand!" which is probably why they send you to the ride. The last thing anybody needs is another list of things to learn before day 1 in the park.
I thought they were - at least on the MB's. I was told by a CM that this was to prevent people from using Dad's FP+ to ride something twice if Jr. was in park and Dad was back in the room and not planning on coming, especially when one has an AP. But goodness knows I have been given incorrect info on more than one occasion by CM...FP + reservations are not linked to park entry.
