Hello! My DD (17) will be heading to the World for a school trip. She is super excited but also anxious. She has GAD and this will be the first time at DW without me (she has gone many, many times and is comfortable there)
Right now her biggest issue with anxiety is coming from having to get a DAS on her own. She has always travelled with just me and I have a DAS so there never seemed to be a reason for her to obtain one as well (she was just part of my party).
As such, she isn't in their system. She knows what she needs to do (Go to GR at MK on their first day and ask). Will there be an issue because she is not an adult and there will not be an adult with her? Should I see if a chaperone can accompany her?
I have told her that I will help her craft a "crib sheet" so that if she gets flustered she can refer to it but that she is going to have to advocate for herself (sniff- I'm not there to help). She can't just push the note towards the Cast Member. And she will have to speak at a volume that they can hear her!
Any experiences or advice would be most appreciated.
Thank you all!
