DL DAS number of guests?

[AutismMomma]

Have tried digging my way through the sticky on this subject and haven't come across this - we will be going to DL first week of December, and getting a DAS for my son who is autistic. It will be the 4 of us the day we get there, then my parents will be joining us the next day. When we get the pass, will they put 6 guests, or will we have to go back to City Hall with my parents the 2nd day to get a new one?
Thanks in advance for your help!

The important part of that thread is the first post, which has been kept updated.
You may have missed that it is in the question about how to request a DAS.
I'm copying it here for you:

How do I request a DAS?

• person the DAS card 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 accommodation.
  - different people with the same diagnosis can have very different needs
  - no proof or doctor's note is needed, and will not be looked at
• there will not be any different stamps like GACs had; the person will either be issued a DAS card or not
• DAS will be issued for up to 6 (5 plus the person with a disability)
  - Guest Relations will be able to make exceptions on a case by case basis - for example, 7 for a family of 2 adults and 5 children; 7 for family of 2 parents, 3 children, Grandma and Grandpa. (This was done for GACs)
  - if it is given for more then a total of 4 people, all must be present at the time it is requested.

We had a similar situation in March and we had to go back and get a new DAS when everyone was there. They took our old DAS and replaced it with a new one.
