Correct. When my family and I were at WDW recently, my mom asked if it could be 8 since it was my graduation. The CM there said no

At WDW the DAS is generally issued for the number of people in your party -- up to 5 plus the DAS holder. It is possible to get one issued for up to 10 guests (9 plus the DAS holder), but this requires supervisory-level approval and everyone in the party must be present at Guest Relations when requested.

At DL/DCA, my understanding is the standard DAS is for a total of up to 4 guests. As at WDW, it can be issued for a larger party with approval and all guests present.

Enjoy your vacation!

When we were there last month, we were able to have it issued for our entire party of 8. We were all present at GS.

We had it issued for 7 - all of us were present.

For the OP, if you haven't checked it out, there are 2 DAS information threads stuck near the top of this board. One is about DAS at WDW and the other about DAS at Disneyland.
The first post in each thread is a DAS FAQs.
