I found out I am going to be a DAK for my PI. However I've become very nervous because someone told me the park orientation is 8 hours long and completely outside I've done orientation at EPCOT and DHS and some of it was inside for videos on the history, safety etc.

I ask because I will be there in June and I cannot walk around in the heat for 8 hours due to a medical condition. I haven't submitted a medical accommodation form yet but I wasn't planning on requesting an indoor location because I CAN work outside for several hours, just not all day. I have been told by other CMs at this location that the outdoor positions rotate. In the past I was given a restriction "Must work in climate controlled environment" and was not permitted to work certain positions....even when it was cold. I do not want to miss out on things because of this and I know I can handle the parts of the job that will be outside....but I don't know if I can handle 8 hours touring the park.

Has anyone done DAKilmation recently? What was it like? Is the day broken up?
 
My daughter did it the first week of February. She works at Kilimanjaro Safari. I will ask her and post here later today.
 
So - I just sent my daughter a text and she must have been on break as she answered me right away! She said you are only outside for an hour to an hour and a half. Most of the time was indoors.

Ah thank you! Hopefully it will be the same for me and won't have changed!
