DAS, FP+ And standby

[englishrose47]

As long as you are all linked on the DAS card anyone can get a return time on it.

What are the Disabilities they are giving DAS for or rather what are the reasons for needing one. Our problem is the 8 I.D. we will have with us are not all known to us before the trip, we have applications and info but no first hand knowledge of how they react to things. we call their respective family group hones etc , and if I had a better handle on what are reasons for getting the DAS I can ask the righjt questions ahead of time and know what to say for each of them. Usually without long waits we have been fine, but I have seen a few close calls where a much longer wait would have been a real problem .

There is no list just give GR the information you have and go from there. If what they tell you give you dose not work you are welcomed to go back to GR and talk to someone

this is from the WDW DAS thread near the top of this board and should be helpful.
Basically, you need to have some idea of what issues the person would have while waiting in the regular lines.

How do I request DAS?

• person the DAS is being requested for needs to be present, even if they can't talk
  - you will be asked about your/the person's needs related to disability, not your diagnosis
  - you may be asked "why are you requesting it?" - this does not mean they are asking what your disability is; they want to know what your needs are.
  - For example, diabetes, autism and fibromylagia are not disabilities - they (like Cerebral Palsy, that is one of the conditions my DD has) are conditions that can cause a disability.
  Not everyone with a condition has a disability. So, your task will be to explain how your conditions affect you in a way that causes a need for accommodations IN LINES.
  - different people with the same diagnosis can have very different needs
  - no proof or doctor's note is needed, and CMs have been instructed they will not be looked at
  - explain your needs clearly, calmly and concisely.
  - include details the CMs will need, but don't include details that are not pertinent to waiting or accessing attractions.
  *posters, please do not post exactly what you said to get a DAS - people need to explain their own needs.
• there will not be any different stamps like GACs had; the person will either be issued DAS or not
• Guest (responsible person if guest is not able to sign) must agree to terms and conditions of DAS which says they
  - agree they understand how the program works
  - agree to not abuse the DAS
  - agree they will not use it for commercial gain (like leading tours) or give it to someone else
  - DAS can be revoked if this contract is breached
