OK, so, Hi everyone. I used the DIS a LOT in 2010 when I got married at the YBC, and when we went back the following year, but now have a new account and new questions. We are booked at the Poly over Christmas 2017
I have read the starter information, and think I am clear on the basics.
We got a GAC for our son when we went and it transformed our holiday. He has autism, and the crowding and sensory issues make it hard for him to stand in line with a LOT of people for a long time. We never had a problem getting a GAC for him, and I assume getting a DAS will be similar?
However, this time when we go, his Dad also has leukaemia. He gets very tired, of course, and would find standing in line challenging. Would he qualify for a DAS of his own?
We also have a toddler we didn't have during our previous trips. (which doesn't affect our DAS use, but gives you a picture of our trip)
This is likely to be our last big family holiday (as long as my husband stays well enough to be able to go - we wanted our little girl to be old enough to remember it, as it is likely she won't have too many daddy memories) and the GAC transformed our wedding trip (we didn't get it until we had been there for 4 days, and it was SO wonderful not to spend time just crying because we couldn't do anything but get out of the way of everyone) So, I am hoping the DAS will come to our rescue this time.
I know lots of people in our position go to Disney World, but, I really want our holiday to be magical, and not just about autism and leukaemia.
Any info and advice welcome
