Soon to be on the way to @WaltDisneyWorld . I’m curious to find out if anybody has had a similar experience with me regarding the Disability Access Service (DAS). My son is a 7 year old boy with ADHD. He can be extremely impulsive, and he has trouble waiting for 5 minutes (forget about 90 minutes plus). His behaviors get progressively worse eventually leading to a melt down that could take an hour or more to resolve. Not only Would this ruin his (and our experience), but it would also impact the other people around him. We went to @WaltDisneyWorld 2 years ago when he was 5 with the same diagnosis and same potential struggles and he was approved for the DAS. This time around he is being denied even though nothing has changed. During the interview process they asked questions about his IEP, accommodations at school, behaviors, etc. all of which I provided extensive examples and documented cases. The answer that I was given is that DAS is only for children with a developmental disorder. I explained to the person doing the interview that ADHD is a developmental disorder. Her response was that Autism is a developmental disorder, not ADHD. This denial left us with no other option but to spend thousands of additional dollars on lightning lane passes to protect the $30,000 it is costing for the trip. I asked for the process to appeal her decision and she said that her decision is final and that she would not provide contact information for any body else. @WaltDisneyWorld I think you know that you can do better than this. I understand that people have abused the system in the past, but the answer is not to deny the exact children that this service was created for.
