Disability Access Service (DAS) Guidelines

The original post says, "once you have been approved"...how often does it happen that someone would not be approved? My dd was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes & standing long periods of time can cause her blood sugar to fluctuate. Hoping to be able to use this card for her.

Denials are rare, and only for guests who appear to be scamming the system. Your explanation of your dd's condition should be sufficient. No doctor's note is necessary.

If you tell them this, their suggestion will be to rent a wheelchair.

Yes. Sorry. I had to rethink this one. If the guest's disability is one that precludes standing for a long period without additional factors, then Disney will suggest a wheelchair instead of the DAS.

I posted previously with a few questions about this....I have epilepsy. My concern is standing for long periods of time in the heat; however, my concern is that it could induce a seizure or other issues I have related to my epilepsy. Will they suggest I just get a wheelchair because I can walk with frequent breaks? I don't want the issue of having to pay for an ECV or making my wife push a wheelchair around all day. I don't plan on using the DAS but would like to have it if I am having a bad day.
