WOC--with ECV or DAS?

[sgrap]

We are going to DLR in a week, and I will have an ECV for a knee injury. I don't really need the ECV full time, but too much walking and standing aggravates the injury.

I also have a daughter with spina bifida, so will be getting a DAS for her to help when she fatigues. She is not in a wheelchair, but sometimes a break from walking/standing.

We have a WCT dinner, so will have WOC fastpasses from that. When we went a year ago (and did the WCT dinner/fastpasses), the spot we ended up in with my ECV wasn't that great. I'm wondering if it would be better to try to leave my ECV and use the DAS during WOC. Or is there a best wheelchairs/ECV spot to try to get into with the FP's?

thanks!

We were there just this past week, and we had FPs for the yellow viewing area. We arrived quite early (second in line behind a lovely family of four), and we noticed that wheelchair and ECV patrons (and families) were allowed to queue just to our left on the main rope line that separates the main walking area from the viewing areas. At 15 minutes before showtime, those in the ECV/wheelchair queue were escorted down the second ramp (the one not on the water line) and placed in their own HC viewing area. The location was a prime viewing area. I don't know if that has become standard practice for WoC (nor whether the blue viewing area had a similar arrangement), but that was the setup on the night we attended (and the night before though we didn't line up for the queue then). As for the WoC dinners, I'm uncertain if they make such allowances. I'd check with a CM earlier in the day to see. We found the extra cost of the dinner package superfluous since FPs are available already for free.
