Hi I would deff rec hiring a chair or scooter. I dont think you will qualify for a DAS as mobility problems usually are not covered as they will rec hiring a wheelchair. The wheelchair lines are often quicker anyway.

I get a DAS because I have mobility problems due to nerve damage. Standing or sitting for long periods are not possible. Just explain why you need it.

OP's issues seem similar to a stamina issue.
Most probably, the CM at guest relation will suggest using a wheelchair to avoid standing periods.

I'll just have a question for the OP
you said you've visited 25 times.
is that a new condition, or is it that you've just been registered for a situation that's been ongoing for years ?

if this is a new condition, then yes, go to guest relations and try for the DAS, which you may, or may not receive.

but if it's a condition you've had to deal with in the parks in the past, then being registered "officially" as a disabled person will not make a difference compared to the last time you went, re: getting disability pass.
