DAS / AAP Question

[Ana Klein]

Hey everyone,
We're going to visit both Universal and Disney's parks during the coming holidays.
We will stay at theirs hotels,
we will get the Unlimited Express pass (Universal), and the opportunity to choose Fast Passes 60 days ahead.
One of us has an international disability card, so I was wondering if there's a list of disabilities that entitle a family with AAP /DAS passes.
(He's got fibromyalgia and syncope).
We want to start planning our vacation, and want to know if we will get AAP /DAS, so we could plan our visits accordingly.
I would appreciate your answer.
Have a great day

In the case of Universal, having Unlimited Express Pass should take care of most issues waiting in long lines, although you should be aware that there are some attractions -- most notably, Escape from Gringott's -- where there are several pre-shows and queue sections after the merge point, which means you'll be doing a fair bit of walking/waiting even with the Express Pass). At Disney World, if your loved one's disability means he or she cannot wait in standby lines, they will need to obtain a Disability Access Service Card. Details below.

I would add that the Disney DAS card isn’t designed for those who could use alternative ways to avoid the lines. So, for example, if someone can’t stand for long periods of time they would likely suggest a wheelchair in most cases. Whereas someone who cannot cope with crowded spaces, or may need to leave quickly at very little notice (like IBS), or even where they may need to carry out medical procedures like diabetes testing/injections are more likely to be offered a DAS.

Oh I wasn’t commenting on any condition, just trying to clarify that it isn’t the same as the old style pass (whatever it was called). Also, rather than getting to go straight to the front of the line you get a return time based on the stand-by time, so you can wait in a more appropriate place.
