DAS for Immunity issues

[beachgirl152]

Would I qualify for DAS due to being on immune suppressant drugs and inability to be in close contact with people in lines?

If it is dangerous for you to be in close contact with people, you should not visit any Disney park.

Even if you qualify for a DAS, you will have to wait in lines close to people.

If this was the case I doubt your doctor would recommend you being in close contact with others at all, I can't imagine skipping the line would keep you healthy.

With DAS you’ll still be waiting in line for a bit. You’ll also be near people while on rides. Even just walking around the parks you’ll have times when you are standing near a lot of people. Close contact with others is pretty much unavoidable at wdw.

As other said I would wait to visit the parks

We are here right now, and people are not required to wear masks, and lots of people are coughing, calling it allergies or due to the AC. The nearest Walgreens has a tiny selection of cold/flu medication on the shelves. Most of the slots were empty. The LL queues are cramped and 15-20 minutes sometimes. DAS will not really make a difference, IMO. We have been using it, and people are coughing and sneezing in the LL queues.

It's not just ride lines either. You are packed in super close with other people on Disney transportation. It's the worst on monorails and busses. You are squeezed into them like sardines. Fireworks and parades are a similar story. Even in restaurants you're fairly close to other parties due to the spacing of the tables. I also also with what others have said about masking and people coughing/sneezing. I would say about less than 5% of people were wearing masks on my last trip and I noticed a decent chunk of people sneezing/coughing without covering their mouths.

I would not go to the parks if you cannot be in close contact with other people.

All a DAS will give a person who qualifies is a specific time to return to get onto a ride for those with sensory issues or difficulty standing or waiting for any length of time.

It would do nothing to help you keep distant from others. As mentioned above, you would be within inches of others on virtually all rides and Disney transportation.

Sadly, a Disney trip is impossible for someone with your needs.

That’s unfortunately true. One of the issues our family has is autism/asperger’s and sensory issues. We try to ‘block out’ too many close people (especially if gum chewing and popping) by having us spaced a foot apart in line so the one in the middle at least as a tiny buffer, but we’ve had people even push past us, within about 3 inches of the autistic one right in the DAS line (the Genie+ line). Not that they were line cutting, it’s just that you will get pressed in tightly in all directions and it’s bad enough that we can’t even make it with a DAS sometimes (Frozen, Test Track, Seven Dwarfs and Jungle Cruise most notably off the time of my head). The indoor part of Frozen is PACKED with people on both sides within inches as they wield their way through the queue.

With the uptick in covid (fortunately it seems less "potent") I would avoid crowded places if you are compromised. Especially Disney with people bringing germs from all over the world - not just covid. Zero physical distancing, the opposite is true. You are encouraged to "fill in all available spaces". It could be risky and DAS won't eliminate any of it.

No way is a Disney park right for you right now.
Too many people and still alot of health issues rising again.

Go at another time, maybe years from now.
Your health is too important.

After all the bad news we've unfortunately had to give you, I've something that might help you feel you're at Disney.

We recently discovered YouTube videos by 4K WDW. They show rides, resorts, parks at night, special events from the perspective of someone walking around the park or resort.

There's no commentary at all, just the noises you'd hear if you were there.

Perhaps you'll find these help. I hope so.

That sounds great .
going to google now
4KWDW
?

A poster mentioned having it on their big screen all day long

Thanks for posting , Her Dotness

 

[Her Dotness]

Yup, it's 4K WDW.

They really are a great experience for when you're missing our true home and wishing you weren't stuck in the R/L one.

Unfortunately even with a DAS you are going to be in close contact with others a lot. We did wait 10-15 minutes in some LL lines, plus pre-shows, waiting for transportation or to get in the parks, restaurants, even sitting on curbs outside.
