Most MAW children need and get other accommodation to make the most of their experience. I agree with everything MAW does for kids and their families to help make happy memories.
Potentially MAW children who don't go through the organization still have severe illnesses that are very hard to deal with in everyday life. So if a parent wants to take their sick kid to WDW and thinks a DAS card would make it possible for their child to enjoy the day, I think it is fine. Also, just because a child has survived their life threatening illness, doesn't mean they weren't left with some pretty devastating (life long) side effects from the treatment or disease.
I guess I'm confused, as I never said that children that need DAS cards shouldn't get them. I said that kids that are not MAW should not get the same benefits as MAW, which are much better than the DAS, from what I understand. MAW often provides FOTL, which is awesome - I just don't think that non-MAW kids should get that same kind of access.
Anyone that needs the DAS should be able to get it and use it.
