I think she probably could, depending on the line I guess! If it's flat, sure. That's a decent option, thanks.
When you return to the queue, you utilize the LL not the standby.
Did not know this, thank you very much

Glad it worked out for you! Did you end up needing to leave any lines? If so, how did they go?Hi all! Thought I'd update on how my solo trip went earlier this month after my DAS denial...
TLDR; went great but MPLL/SPLL was key. Despite worries I actually had a very relaxing trip and adapted to the LL system pretty quickly.
AP holder. Arrived by park open or early entry every day. Storms kept rolling in during evenings so I ended up staying in most evenings despite planning to try some high wait time rides at park close (I wanted to try ROTR and Remy at park close but had my fill of being drenched at the rained-out MNSSHP). I bought MPLL each day, SPLL GOTG & 7DMT. I did fiddle a lot during the day trying to get better LLs, usually eventually successful. Most success I had was tapping into my first LL around park open or just before if the CM allowed it so I could try for a tier 1 (picked up Remy in the evening a couple times this way). My park open LLs until my last few days were throwaways where I tapped in and didn't do the attraction, CMs didn't mind.
Sorry for the novel but in case it helps any of my fellow denied I wanted to share! (I know it sucks my solution was to throw money at it- but that was my solution so I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.)
- Rode most everything I wanted to except ROTR (refuse to pay $20 for it, almost attempted it at DHS rope drop but then saw the hoards- NOPE). ToT rope drop FTW, walk on
- I forgave myself ahead of time for the days when MPLL might not have been necessary- I know this sounds stupid but it was a mental exercise I needed to do so I didn't spend any days beating myself up over purchasing it. I didn't know what I was getting into and having 3 rides a day/plans for more really helped calm the nerves going in. (EP is the park it's value was most questionable but each of my days there I got Frozen or Remy, both of which I adore, so it I equated it to a SPLL purchase with a free add on for shorter walks to Soarin', etc
- LL is quite efficient, rather forgot what it was like to tour the park without waiting on return times to come up; it was nice to have 3 LLs ready to go when I hit MK one night after using MPLL at another park that day
- Didn't ride headliners nearly as much, no FoP, no ROTR, no hitting Remy every time I was leaving IG. This was fine though and felt more in line with what the average WDW guest experiences.
- Tiana VQ line got long. If you score a early VQ and go right when it opens you can walk on but the line grows fast. If you don't have a LL keep checking MDE and see if you can snag a drop. I saw it pop up a few times my MK days.
- Tron- after getting cocky at Mickeys Very Drenched Halloween Party due to PP being a like 10-15 min wait instead of 40 I went to do Tron. Posted 40 and waited close to that. I don't recommend this standby line, inside it snakes back and forth and back and forth and would be hard to exit. I won't be doing this one again without a SPLL (these run $20 as well though, which I didn't feel was worth it so passed)
- Rope dropped Remy one morning from the France bridge as I stayed IG, I'll pass on that next time. It was fairly efficient at only a 25 min wait and a good chunk of that outside where it is easier to exit the line, but as we waited for France to open CMs were literally telling people to fill half the bridge as there is no line and some entitled lady started screaming at all of us walking by her "There is a LINE!!!" No Genius, there wasn't. I did not like the mass move of humanity into Remy slowly being whittled into a line with said Genius and pals. Again easy enough to exit safety wise but personally I just didn't like the stress of it
No but I barely waited in any lines because LLs were like all walk-on. The one I was most nervous in was Tron, I literally don't know how I would have gotten out- and I don't use a mobility device.
Ok, perhaps we are confusing things here, sitting in a comfortable seat where I can get up and move and use the restroom or do whatever else I need to while waiting for bloodwork to be taken is not what I would consider waiting in line. Again, DMV (in California) is the same concept, although their seats are not as comfortable, but again that is not waiting in line, as I can take care of other needs while waiting with no issues.
As you can see above, MY experience is different and that was my point, I am not saying others don’t have these lines pop up in their lives, but I do not, so asking me what accommodations I get given for these lines is not applicable as I don’t deal with lines outside of theme parks.
This is the answer you give them.
I agree that calling back once to try again, especially if one feels that they didn’t adequately articulate their needs is a good idea, but Disney can (and has) told people who called repeatedly after being denied repeatedly that they won’t speak to them about DAS for 120 days. And once they tell you that, my understanding is the clock starts over with each subsequent call.
Unless something wasn’t covered in the first call it seems pointless to call back with no new or missing information. At this point, I would try the suggestions offered first. Those suggestions may work out, but if not, then that person has a reason to call back and can explain that they tried and what happened.
Yes, that was very bad advice.
Not to mention, it’s not an issue of “deserving” a DAS…
How is your reservation booked? I’ve heard they have allowed some to cancel but that was early on. I believe tickets are non refundable but you can book room only and would still be within your window to cancel hotel without penalty.
Some third party vendors have a refund policy with a small fee. I think undercover tourist does.
I booked as a package. I’m hoping to do everything on day 30, but I wasn’t sure if they’re flexible at all about it.
I wouldn't count on them being flexible...however, you can move the dates of the package out, then cancel.
