no. mobility issues Are never eligible for DAS on their own. not having enough pushers is not valid reason to make an exception. you will either each have to get a chair/pusher or alternate getting in line for rides. fast pass the important ones and only get a in standby line if if is short enough for you to handle
Even if Guest Relations made such an exception, there really isn't "somewhere to sit" just randomly around the parks to use while waiting for a DAS return time. Seating at restaurants (TS and CS) are typically reserved for those with food. Benches have all but disappeared in recent years.
So I would think having (pushing) your own seat, to use as needed, would be the best option. Could you push a wheelchair or use a rollator, so you have a place to sit when needed? You mention your hands are a challenge for using a walker yourself, maybe your niece could push an empty wheelchair, and all of you stop when you need to sit (which sounds like your plan anyway just without the extra wheelchair). In a slow-moving queue, your niece might even be able to help with pushing especially if you use your feet to sort of help move the chair slowly while seated.
Enjoy your vacation!
We have never had trouble finding a place to sit when needed. That's just been our experience.
OP, it wouldn't hurt to explain your situation at Guest Services. It seems to be a complex one with a lot of variables.
I think we definitely will head to guest services. I know DAS is meant to be based on "need" rather then diagnosis per say so I worried if there was any flexability with the mobility needs issue. Hopefully tho, if DAS is a no go, my niece may be able to help push a second wheelchair through the queues. Thanks for your help.
