NEWS: Disney World Quietly Changes Wording for Disability Access Service Program

There has been a slight change to Disney’s Disability Access Service, also known as DAS.

The DAS program is a program designed for those with developmental disabilities that make them unable to wait in lines for extended periods. This service has experienced some major changes throughout the last year. Now, there is another subtle change removing the word “only” when referring to who the program is intended for.

The Disney website previously stated, “DAS is intended to accommodate only those Guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period of time.” Disney quietly updated the Disability Access Page’s language to remove the word “only” which could impact who can access the service.

The DAS program allows those who are unable to wait in lines to select a return time so they may wait for their turn outside of the regular queue. To utilize the program, those who meet the qualifications must register by meeting with a Cast Member virtually to help determine what aspects of the program will be most helpful to each individual visiting the parks. You can register as early as 30 days before your park visit.

Access to DAS isn’t permanent and will need to be renewed every 240 days or once your ticket expires. This service has experienced several changes over the course of the last year so make sure to stay tuned to DFB for all of your Disney parks news and updates.
