GAC had various stamps for different needs. There were stamps for visual disabilities, avoiding stairs, alternate entrance, etc. The “immediate access” started to be abused/overused — given out on demands of guests who refused any other accommodations.The change from GAC to DAS was therefore that waiting and a virtual queuing element was introduced.
DAS started and made everyone get a return time. Folks needing certain seating due to vision challenges, or to avoid stairs no longer qualified under DAS. Those needs are still accommodated, just not by DAS. For several years DAS was rarely granted for “bathroom needs” until the past few years many more posters have reported getting approved DAS for that need.
