I don't think so - in our case, it's more of a 'be sure to explain your whole situation to the CM' where we did not necessarily have to spell ALL that out before. WIth this change, we now need to get DAS for our son, simple as that. We didn't have to before, getting it for my wife was enough to...

Yes, we've already talked about that together and that, while last year, she qualified on her own and we didn't feel the need to bring him into it, this year we may need to shift and get it for both of them.

I'm nervous about the accommodation being 'wait outside of line' for the DAS holder who has claustrophobia. My wife has Autism and ADHD and does have panic attacks when 'trapped' in line for long periods of time, due to contact aversion, overstimulation, and claustrophobia. A rider swap...

We sailed on Odyssey of the Seas back in February. We'd only been on one cruise prior to that, and it was on the DCL Fantasy (it was during the Disney+ promo and the ship was packed in like sardines, so that may have informed our opinion somewhat). We loved DCL, but it honestly isn't in our...

Let's also acknowledge that, for those with disabilities and those who care for those with disabilities, our lives are often very much filled with obstacles, ground faults, shake-ups, uncertainties. It's a full-on second job to manage a condition for yourself or for someone else. Indeed, while...

I still wish it was as straightforward as getting a dr's statement that you have a disability that would make waiting in line a problem, which cannot be alleviated by aides or ability to leave the line and come back. Then you'd need CMs or a third party to verify that said doctor is actually...

The only way we were able to do 'back to backs' is by alternating rides that had a wait with rides that didn't have much of a wait. (And that's not counting the times we took a nap or food break of some kind instead of riding something.) But we were able to often go from one ride to another as...

Same - we had a larger party last time and our DAS holder always had to tap in first.

Right, I know - poor word choice for me, I meant what you said. And now you can't immediately do that anymore - you will need to wait 10 mins after scanning in.

We didn't really find the pre-selects that useful either. I think we only used them 1-2 times over the week because we generally weren't in the right area at the time they came available, and weren't able to backtrack all the way across the park. So losing those doesn't really impact our...

It isn't abusing the accommodation as long as Disney rules explicitly state that it's allowed, which they do. Is it something non-DAS guests can be sour about? Sure. But it's not abusing the rules. Many people like to put it in those words, and it's simply not true. No one is breaking any rules...

But Disney is even cracking down on that a bit more - as I posted above, the DAS website now says you have to wait 10 min before selecting another ride. Some may argue that's not long enough, but it's now not necessarily always true that you can select your next ride while you're waiting.

I'm pretty sure the Disney website says you CAN do exactly this: "Guests utilizing DAS can enjoy many other experiences throughout Walt Disney World Resort during a DAS virtual wait, such as other rides, shows, concerts, parades and Character Greetings. They can also take a rest in a break...

We had this issue with our son, which is why we initially started looking into DAS. In the end, my wife decided to apply for DAS, since she had a diagnosis and he didn't, yet, and we solved his issues (for now) with a tag on his stroller so we could buckle him in and keep him in line. That...

According to the Disney website: DAS registration maximum party size is the registered DAS Guest and up to 3 additional party members, for a total of 4 people. There is no mention of immediate family, so I'm not sure where that is coming from. Also, another change I noticed on the website...

This kind of happened with my wife too. We never knew about DAS, and as someone with AuDHD she really struggled with going to Disney with me. Panic attacks in line, etc. But she soldiered on because she knew how much going meant to me, and wanted to experience it with me, even though it would...

I've said that all along, we dont mind providing proof, but other people don't want their health to be a public matter sometimes so I get it.

We used DAS for the first time last year for Autism and ADHD and were told even back then that people asking for DAS accommodation for mobility reasons were largely being denied because someone on a scooter or in a wheelchair can use them in line, and someone who has IBS or something like it can...

I divide MK in two parts. If we have time leftover and the energy, I might repeat some rides or something like that. But I've always toured MK in two days and it takes soooo much pressure off.

Southwest flight schedules dropped today for our dates, so we are booked and blessed :D Now I just gotta get on making all my Facebook FE gifts... :fish:
