Hi Everyone,
My DH, DD and I are going to WDW in the fall. My daughter has epilepsy. Thank goodness her seizures are well controlled with her medication but as a side effect of her medication she fatigues very easily and the heat triggers her migraines. In addition, When she gets overly tired her seizure threshold lowers. She is 10 and up until this trip we have always used a stroller (last trip she was 7) and got a DAS to use it as a wheelchair so she could sit whilst we waited on line. That worked great for us but now that she is older she does not want to use a stroller and I don't blame her. I don't think she will be able to stand/walk for more than a few hours without being so tired that we would have to leave. I told her we will take it easy and take a lot of breaks through the day. I also scheduled our meals throughout the day so that she has a nice long break every few hours where she can cool down and relax. Would she qualify for a DAS? Thank you for your opinions/advice.
