I know I can register between 2-30 days from park day, but I don’t know if I need to wait until 30 days from my first or last park day. Would be 30 days from Dec 11 or 30 days from Dec 20?
The first post of THIS THREAD (pinned near the top of this forum) includes the link to the video chat for DAS. There is no phone number. However based on what you've described, your family member will be much better served by using an ECV or wheelchair and unlikely to qualify for DAS unless there is more to his needs than you explained.We have a family member who is going end February and has problems when doing a lot of walking and standing. He has had reconstruction surgery on his heel and ankle due to a work accident and his leg swells up and he suffers with a lot of pain. They will be probably at Hollywood Studios for one day and would like to make the most of it. Not sure if he would quality for DAS but was wondering what is the telephone number where he can find out? Also, were would they register online. Thanks for your help!
Thank you for the info. He is stubborn and always pays the price at the end of the day and into the next. Guess they have two months to try to convince him to use some help. So much walking at the parks. Again, thanks!The first post of THIS THREAD (pinned near the top of this forum) includes the link to the video chat for DAS. There is no phone number.

Just know that he can't request DAS until you are within 30 days of the visit -- so in about a month.
Maybe @mamabunny will be around to share her how to ECV atDisney world and her story on the first time she had to rent an ECV (or I think it was her) at Disney. I know I have heard a number of stories of people not sure if they should rent an ECV or not. Hopefully they will come on to share their stories and you can share with your family member.Thank you for the info. He is stubborn and always pays the price at the end of the day and into the next.

Have his family ask him if he can walk 5-6 miles a day. If he needs to sit down frequently, he's going to have to walk even more to find an open bench to sit on. DAS doesn't help for standing/walking issues, IMO. He would still need to find a place to wait, and that could involve more walking! An ECV makes so much more sense, as it would give him a place to sit, take the load off his heel, and help him elevate his leg (if he can get it up high enough from a seated position) to reduce swelling. Not that he should zip around with his leg elevated (as it would be sticking out) but once in a while when not moving would help? He could prop it on a low wall, etc.Thank you for the info.
