... one last thing to know: The CMs at Guest Relations in the Park (where you go to get the
DAS) don't need to know/don't want to know what your "diagnosis" is. Doctor's notes will not be looked at either.
That's because DAS is need-based. So, as my friends above have said, it's about *why you can't wait in line* and not anything else. It's not a front-of-the-line pass - it does nothing more than allow you to wait most of the time outside the line. You will still have to go through the FP+ entrance (which means you will still go through a portion of the queue, and may still have a wait - albeit shorter - inside the attraction)
If you think you might have a problem talking to a CM about your anxiety, and how it affects your ability to wait in line, everyone in our family has an app that we keep on our phones, called "Emergency Chat". The logo for it looks like this:
It's an app that will let you text someone when you are too overwhelmed to speak.
You can customize the opening screen (shown below) to help give the person you are communicating with more information.
You "text" with the other person, by handing the phone back and forth so you don't have to try and talk when you are not comfortable with speech in the moment. It's just another tool to have ready (like knowing that you can use First Aid at the Parks) in case you need it.
