No. That is for annual pass holders only. Guests on vacation will be given a
DAS that is good for their length of stay. They will ask you when your last day is or it will be linked to your hotel reservation via scanning your Magic Band.
Correct. The Disney website says this:
"DAS is good for up to 60 days, based on ticket entitlement.* Once the service has elapsed, it is no longer valid and you will need to return to Guest Relations.
*Annual Passholders can obtain DAS for up to 60 days. "

We have AP, so we do get 60 days. The 'ticket entitlement' part basically means your present trip - if you only have a one day ticket, DAS won't necessarily be authorized for 60 days.
You can get the stroller tag at guest relations too when you get the DAS, right? We leave in 4 days... also, is there anywhere outside of the theme parks where we can get the DAS? Anywhere at Disney Springs or outside front gates? We have an extra day in Orlando before we go to parks and would get this done if there is a way to save the hour in the park.
DAS and the stroller as wheelchair tag are only available at Guest Relations at one of the 4 theme parks.
Officially, DAS is issued at the in-park Guest Relations locations. Epcot pretty consistently is able to issue DAS at the World Showcase entrance (one of the kiosks is a Guest Relations kiosk).
At the other parks, there is no guarantee you will be able to request DAS at the outside of the park Guest Relations. It depends on a couple of things, like whether they have the iPad needed to issue DAS available or how busy it is.
Sometimes Guest Relations is busy with guests picking up tickets or who have to resolve ticket issues before they can enter the park. When that happens, they often ask people with non-ticket issues to go into the park to Guest Relations.
Another thing to be aware of is that Guest Relations stations outside of the park are small windows, with glass between you and the CM and a small 'speaking opening' to talk into. That can be intimidating for some people and not feel very private.
Guest Relations inside the park is more private; you will be talking to a CM over a counter or they will come around the corner to talk to you.
Guest Relations is open whenever the park is open for guests to enter. That could be 30 minutes to an hour before the 'official' opening time.
And just to verify, a 7 year old can ride without an adult, right?
A 7-yr-old should be allowed to ride without an adult, that can be alone or with another child, so both the 7 and 8 yr olds should be fine to ride together. Under 7 must ride with someone at least 14 yrs old (so 6 and 8 can't ride together). Seating configurations vary and the CM at ride load will direct you.
Enjoy your vacation!
exactly what lanejudy wrote.
For some attractions, you may all fit in one seat or ride car. In others, you will be split into 2 groups.
Just before boarding, you will come to the 'grouper' CM, who asks how many are in your group. That CM will assign you where to go, depending on the seat configuration. A lot of attractions have numbered spots to wait on for the next ride car. So, your whole group might be directed to 'row 4' or you might be directed 'two in row 4 and two in row 5.' You would need to decide how to split your group.
