New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

That is a good possibility
Actually I think there is a difference. I could be wrong but it looks like what she had was not attached to a cane or walker. We have brought both of those multiple times in the past without issues. They have had issues with people bringing in the collapsible seats and causing issues in queues.

Could we have a “chair = wheelchair” red tag like the “stroller = wheelchair” tag to prevent issues with security and other CM’s?

It's ironic that some of Disney's policies have made DAS much more necessary. For a lot of people, it's the stationary time in the line that is the real issue. Whether it's physical (orthopedic issues, POTS, etc.) or mental (feeling trapped), it really is genuinely worse to stand in one place for long periods than to be moving. Everyone has to move to get around the park (even if in a wheelchair or similar), but the *standing still* is particular to lines.
Obviously keeping the line moving wouldn't solve everything (certain autism issues, for example), but it would help a portion of people's issues. Fastpass, Genie+, and now, ironically, DAS holders, are all making the line more unbearable for a significant portion of people. It is to some extent a vicious circle.

Love your post. I, too, have constant pain. I wonder if your doctors have checked you out for fibromyalgia? It's hard to diagnosis and takes a while. Some people with FMS have some soreness and some, like me, have debilitating pain which requires pain medications. I hope you get this checked out if you haven't already.
Good question. I would be curious to find that out.
Yep
unfortunately not all but some of the rules come out of people not being kind and respectful, or gaming the system and taking advantage of Disney's accessible adaptations. Catch 22 situation

I don't think so from my point of view a 'chair' that is attached to a mobility device is different than a 'folding' chair. These are the kind of chairs they are having issues with especially the round one.

TWDC is scrambling to come up with solutions. I am glad they now allow cane chairs.
I wonder, will you have to "qualify" to be able to bring a cane chair into the park to prevent "abuse" of cane chairs for folks who "really don't" need a cane chair in the eyes of Disney?

That hasn't been a discussion yet, but I will bring it up - thank you!

Can we just stop with figuring out how DAS will or won't hurt someone with a disability? If someone wants to take my pain and then, with no pain, I can stand in the regular line or use Genie for an LL, I would love it. Oh and be sure to ask the doc for the morphine script I was offered. I refused it but hey maybe you might want it.
Unless you're in the position of the person who has the disability, no matter what it is, you cannot know what will help or harm. Disney can try the changes and hopefully they'll work for everyone. I'm sure tweaking will be necessary.
It seems pretty heartless that some resent the fact that some Disney guests actually need DAS. Now, the cheaters, I think they should be banned for life, IF they're caught.

Absolutely we will not know until it happens! Everyone needs to just
. Look at the rules and regulations for yourself instead of assuming. Absolutely it will need to be tweaked Disney is trying to do what they can with all the backlash they are getting. The problem is others resent and judge others because of those bad apples.That was also noted by me there is a difference between the two items.

Yes as I posted earlier, none of the WDW parks had no problem with the rollator integrated seat. Below is an example of mine:

Exactly any mobility device has to be allowed. We have used this in the past as well. That is the difference between 'folding chairs' which are not allowed and seats on mobility devices.
