The part of my post you quoted mentions specifically those who can't stand in line.
I didn't know what your question is.

New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

Well, it's official... I was just denied my DAS. I am a Cast Member and Disney has proof of my disabilities, and they provide me accommodation while I work, but apparently the new system is so restrictive that I do not qualify for accommodations while I come in on my days off. I have POTS, Hashimoto's, a very severe skin condition, and
I am not high support needs. I generally only melt down when my other conditions are agitated, or people touch me, and then I lose my ability to cope. They determined that I can wait in line or that I can utilize the "return to queue" feature. This doesn't help with my heat intolerance at all.

I guarantee there will be incidents in queues either by previously approved DAS users attempting to use the queue and/or due to this unsupportable/ridiculous return to line thing.

Very bad, but this is EXACTLY what Disney WANTS to do. Just terrible.

Did they get into realistic detail on how that would work or just read the official policy
I'm very disappointed, my heat intolerance is a very serious symptom that they completely ignored, and they downplayed my skin condition. I will likely be speaking to my leaders at work, I understand that they can't override the status, but perhaps they will be able to give me advice on other services to help or if there is a different way to present my condition so I feel understood and properly accommodated.
They told me to use the new "return to queue" accommodation, but I'm not sure how that works considering I typically go to the parks alone and will not have anyone holding my place in line. I also felt my heat intolerance was entirely ignored.

DAS is intended to accommodate only those Guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar disorder, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period of time
Some of us have problems that do not fall under developmental disability like autism or similar disorder so these new rules won’t help us at all.
If the new DAS rules negatively affect you, a friend, or a family member, please let Disney know, especially if the company still does the satisfaction surveys. Those usually include a phone number at the end of the call.

Part of the problem with that is likely that heat intolerance would open them up to a huge amount of abusers.

Can I ask how it is accomodated during your normal work day?

There WILL BE melt downs in the queues. Its good everyone has phones so they can capture it all on video.
There will be fights in the queues because of this unsupportable/ridiculous return to line thing. Its good everyone has phones so they can capture it all on video.

Yea, like there is no anxiety related to return to queue.
Does Disney think everyone in the queue, is nice, polite, well mannered?
Anther thing, WE KNOW there are folks in the queue HAS NO IDEA about this new rule and will think folks are just trying to skip in line.
Here's the thing, Disney just wants you to BUY GENIE+ OR ILL because its simply easer, less hassle, and makes Disney MONEY!

Of course. I am severely limited on the roles and locations I can work due to the nature of my disabilities. The company basically has a list of locations that have been determined "medically" safe for me, and I had to do a physical with a company doctor to have that list agreed upon (cannot be exposed to allergens, cannot drive company vehicles or heavy machinery that does not operate without a designated track, cannot be exposed to exhaust fumes, must have the ability to stand in the shade and by a fan if outdoors, frequent breaks, no heavy lifting/pushing/pulling). I also am permitted to carry a medical case with my epi-pens, pills, creams, inhalers, etc. I'm in one of the two roles that is considered the "most accommodating" for Cast Members with disabilities.

Altho Disney is and will be the underlying factor at fault here it still gives NO guest the right to break rules berate another CM and start fights with others. Im sorry there is no justifying it. Again we know the rules now and if you cant go because of it. It will stink but its a choice people need to make. Its just a terrible position Disney is putting people in

Did you ask them any questions regarding being a solo traveler?
The DAS Call Person couldn't speak to that and said the attractions CMs would inform me at each individual location.

And meltdowns and fights you feel are the proper way to react to this situation?
