When I apply for my DAS in July my current plan is to explain that I have a developmental disorder. And that while I can handle lines in small bursts like the LL. A queue that is in a loud, crowded area, possibly in the sun. (Especially in August!) Will trigger my sensory issues and lead to a meltdown. And that I’ve been enough times now to have an idea of where I can safely hang out within the vicinity of the ride while I await my time. And if I see the line is too backed up for me to safely enter without waiting so long I have to potentially worry about getting overstimulated.this. exactly this. i have a developmental disability and sound very similar to you in how i am in lines. i do not have an intelluctual disability. i can reason to myself all i want now about how to manage lines etc, but when its happening that makes no difference. where do we fit?
Which I can’t do with Lightning Lanes because they have that time window where you have to be back by a certain time or hope the CM is nice to you (which is great if they are but I would rather not rely consistently on a CMs generosity to be able to potential rides). I can’t pivot plans as easily.
Like I used to use FastPass back before the Genie days and before I knew I qualified for DAS. So when I say I know that the system won’t really help my situation. I do actually know.
DAS even as developmental should meet my needs still. My only concern is how they’re going to react to being presented with a disorder most of the world has never heard of.
