Thinking about asking for this for mum as she has severe mobility issues, how does it effect the rest of the party? Will she need to ride alone? There will mum, myself, my dh and my DD.

We're a party of 4 and we were given return times for 4 everytime we used it. It can only be used though if the person who has the DAS is riding. So if you all wanted to go on Tower of Terror and your mum didn't then it cant be used - I think anyway - I might be wrong.

Mobility issues are not routinely covered by DASS as most rides have wheelchair and scooter access in queues. It’s for “hidden” disabilities.

The whole party is tagged into the DAS photos etc. The DAS owner MUST be on the ride and yes you can all ride together but you cannot use it without the DAS owner being on the ride. Anyone in the party however can request the pass

She has mobility issues due to a hidden disability, she won’t use a wheelchair as she’s trying to hold on to her independence as much as possible, she can walk but needs breaks often and can’t stand for long periods without needing to sit. Thank you

In that case, don’t use the term “ mobility issue” at the parks. My husband , way back when, had something similar and he was told no pass use a chair as he said he had a mobility problem. Phrase it carefully. Hope you all have a fabulous time
