Hello, Lisa!
The
Disability Assistance Service (DAS) is designed for those who are unable to wait in traditional queues due to their disability, even those Guests with invisible disabilities. This service allows the recipient (and up to 5 Guests) to wait in an alternate area and provides a virtual wait time. You can use this time to experience another attraction, enjoy lunch at a quick-service or table- service venue, do some shopping or just rest in the shade.
Although a doctor's note is not needed when requesting DAS, you will need to be ready to discuss specific accommodations you need due to your situation. For example, when I request DAS for my son (at any theme park
Guest Relations Lobby), I let the Cast Member know that he needs additional time to board attraction vehicles and uses his push stroller as a wheelchair. I have found that Cast Members find it helpful for me to be as specific as possible about my son's needs, more than focusing on medical terms and his diagnosis. Cast Members are very knowledgeable and are eager to help you enjoy your days in the theme parks.
I hope this helps, and you have a magical trip making lots of memories with your family, Lisa. Please let me know if you have additional questions about DAS as you continue to plan your visit.
Happy Planning!
