🏰 Exciting Changes Coming to Disney’s Accessibility Services! 🎉

Get ready for an even more magical experience at Disney parks! Disney has announced major updates to its Disability Access Service (DAS) and introduced new planning resources for guests with disabilities. Here’s what you need to know:

📘 Accessibility Planning Guide: Disney has revamped its guide with detailed tools and recommendations for guests with disabilities. From quiet locations to service animal guidelines, this guide has everything you need to plan your perfect Disney vacation.

🌟 DAS Revamp: Effective May 20 at Walt Disney World and June 18 at Disneyland, DAS enrollment will extend to 120 days, and party size will be limited to immediate family members or groups of no more than four guests. This ensures that the program is used as intended and benefits those who truly need it.

⏰ DAS Process: DAS provides return times for attractions, allowing guests to wait elsewhere and access attractions via the Lightning Lane at their assigned time. Disney has seen a significant increase in DAS use over the years, prompting these necessary changes.

👩‍⚕️ Trained Cast Members: More cast members, trained by Inspire Health Alliance professionals, will assist guests in understanding and accessing the best accommodations for their needs.

🔍 Virtual Assistance: Guests can now have a virtual chat with the Accessibility Services team prior to their visit to determine eligibility for DAS. This ensures that only those who truly require the service receive it.

🎥 Virtual Chat Option: While guests at Disneyland can have in-person conversations, Walt Disney World visitors can connect with a cast member via virtual chat if they don’t complete the process before arrival.

💼 Other Services: Disney aims to match guests with the most suitable accommodations, including line-return options, ASL interpreting services, service animal relief areas, and wheelchair access.
